We got up early on Saturday morning and left the house around 6:20 am. We drove out to Preston, Idaho and ate at one of our favorite restaurants named Tattles. The portions at this place are amazing. I had a short stack and they gave me three dinner plate sized pancakes. Along with this was four pieces of bacon and some scrambled eggs. This cost 6 dollars. Adam had a Garbage Omelet and a HUGE scone. The kids enjoyed their eggs, sausage and bacon. I know, I know…this is a LOVELY picture of me with my pancakes.


Then we left there to go to Paris….Idaho that is. We stopped at the Tabernacle and went on a tour. The kids also played at the playground just behind the building. Brendan was glad to get out of the car…as were we all.

From there we drove to Main Street in Logan and visited The Bluebird Cafe. My mother told us to stop there because she thought that my Grandma had worked there. We will have to ask her about that. Anyway, we all shared a meal, some ice cream, and walked away with more chocolate than we should have.

The last thing we wanted to do on our trip was visit the American West Heritage Center. This was a working farm. We could see how pioneers washed their clothes, built their tools, and even made dolls. The kids enjoyed walking inside huge teepees on the indian sites. The kids also played pioneer games, visited underground homes, and even panned for gold. Whew! What a day!

On our way home, we stopped at Nana’s and had a party to celebrate Andy’s graduation and Grandad’s retirement. We all got together to pay for a new lawnmower for Grandad. Our camera battery had died by then, or we would have posted pictures of that as well!
