Boys Adventure!

Chester, Rulon and Mads went on a big adventure this weekend!! Chester was super excited to see the Raymond Comets football team play against a high school in Pocatello, ID.  Naturally he took the boys with him since he is an awesome dad!

Their first stop was at the Smith & Edwards crazy military surplus place... they saw old missiles...

sat on a BIG TANK!!! And Rulon finally got a belt that he can put his belt buckle on from the Piute county fair. (Is that right? The buckle the kids got at the Courthouse vacation in Junction, UT?)

The next stop was in Malad, Idaho at the cemetery where grandma Marie and grandpa Wally are buried.  Although neither of the boys knew their great grandpa (neither did I) Rulon does have good memories of his great grandma Marie.  He still sleeps, plays, and travels with his "Toby horse" stuffed animal from grandma Marie. I learned something new about grandpa Wally, he planted the trees that are so big and pretty on their plot at the cemetery, and my mom remembers when she was about 11 or so the trees were finally getting taller than she was, how cool is that?

They also got to see where two of their great great grandparents are buried!

It was especially neat because our little Mina is named after their great great grandma Mina Newhouse! How cool!

Then it was on to the football game! These signs were proudly displayed before leaving home just in case there wasn't a good photo of them later.

Now that's a happy boy!!!

Our nephew Nikora is #58!!!

YUP!! There he is!!!

Snacks too?!? What a treat! Not sure what or who Mads is scowling at but I'm sure he scared em off.

And a little clip to wrap up this report of the boys big adventure!!
