What a Trip!

As I said in my last entry, my parents took our 2 older girls with them to Idaho. Then Ryan and I went to go pick them up later that week. I was hoping Ryan would have fun because the last time we were there it was just okay. We really had a fun time. My parents have a house on the golf course. So Ryan and my dad went golfing 2 days. My sister-in-law also came with my nephews. They were escaping all the fires from N. Cal. When my family gets together, we really do have a fun time. This was no exception.

These are our nephews and our girls. Aren't they cute!

Now Ryan and I love the movie "Napoleon Dynamite". So we decided that while in Idaho, we needed to go to Preston and check out all the movie sites. It was totally worth it. We wanted to stay longer but had to head back to Utah.

This is the front of the school.
"You know, there's like a boat-load of gangs at this school. This one gang kept wanting me to join because I'm pretty good with a bow staff."

Here is Pedro's house.
"You got like three feet of air that time."

This is the pole where Deb and Napoleon play tether ball. The pole is different but it is the spot. Check out the back ground.

"I Caught You a Delicious Bass"

This is the bowling alley where Uncle Rico and Kip discuss their business. We had a hard time finding this. Mckenna (our oldest) actually saw it first.

"We also need some way to make us look official, like we got all the answers." "How bout some gold bracelets? " "We need like some name tags with our picture on it, all laminated and what not. I mean, we gotta look legit man. "

This is not in the movie. It is the Cuttin' Corral. It is only mentioned when Napoleon says he gets his hair cut there... "I already get my hair cut at the Cuttin' Corral."


Here is Napoleon's house. I don't how they chose this house for him. It is so far from anything. We had a hard time finding it.
"Grandma just called and said you're supposed to go home."
"She didn't tell me anything."
"Too bad, she said she doesn't want you here when she gets back because you've been ruining everybody's lives and eating all our steak. "
"I'm not goin' anywhere, Napoleon."
"Get off my property!"
"It's a free country. I can do whatever I want."
"Get off my property or I'll call the cops on you.'
"Well then do it! Go on!"
"Maybe I will, GOSH!"

The one thing that we wished we had found was Uncle Rico's van. We have some friends who think they found it. They said it looked like it. They just found it on the street. That would have been the perfect ending to this great trip.
