On the way to Washington Lincoln stopped and stayed with my family in Idaho. It was so nice to see them all, I haven't seen all of them together in years and years.

My uncle Dale and aunt Cris. Dale and Link couldn't get enough of each other. They even wore matching outfits!

My cousin Holly and her boyfriend Keela. Keela helped prove how small the world is by being best friends with my cousins best friend and all sorts of craziness.
