Pa and Nana visit Idaho

Peyton can hardly wait to finally meet his grandparents!

Ava picks out a fishing hat for her first Priest Lake vacation.

Waiting patiently for their arrival!

Finally! Nana gets to hold me! And she brought me Sophie. Just in time for my teeth to arrive.

And now it's Pa's turn to hold me!

Pa and Nana brought Ava some beautiful dolls.  Ava already knew how to say "Nana" but quickly learned to say, "Pa Pa".

Pa Pa brought Ava a puppet.  Now she needs to learn how to throw her voice.

We arrive at the cabin and Ava claims her spot on the steps.  She needed to keep hydrated so she drank out of several different water bottles.

One of the majestic views taken just outside our cabin.

Another view shows the island that Patrick canoed to last time he was here.

After playing in the sand, Ava and Peyton need a bath.

Realizing that their privacy was being invaded, they asked the paparazzi to please leave.

Family photo time! 

Chubby "little" baby!

Daddy and Peyton relaxing in the cabin.

Daddy found a frog and brought it inside.  Ava loved to look at it, but didn't like the feel of it.

Our last night at the cabin and we decide to let Ava stay up late and eat popcorn by the blazing fire.

Ava says goodbye to her favorite bear.
