Education Week

So last week I went up to Idaho with my mom, grandma, grandpa, aunt, aunt, aunt, uncle and uncle for education week. The classes were really good and it was so fun to be able to go!! I didn't get very many pictures of us going to classes (ok, so I didn't get any at all) because we were mostly always busy running here or there or enjoying the classes. But, I did get some pictures of when a few of us visited a house my mom and her family lived in when they were kids. They wallpapered the basement (they really didn't use the basement then either) with wallpaper samples and flour and water paste, and it's still there! I was really amazed at how many of the prints I thought were really pretty and that I would totally consider using, if not in a wallpaper then in a textile of some kind. So fun!

Here we are just hanging out in the apartment that we stayed in. Uncle Ken and Grandpa.

Aunt Ruth.
Mom and Grandma.
Here we are at breakfast on our last day at Education week. It was SOOO good!

This picture we took before we bugged the people living in the house. The window wasn't attached to the basement so we could see right in to the wallpaper!
This photo op is fun because mom says that there is a picture of the family when they were younger in this very same spot of the house.
My grandpa's name is stamped in the cement steps going on to the porch because he is the one that poured them!And here is my uncle Ken showing me the board in the porch that gave him a butt splinter when he was a child. Ahhh the memories you carry with you from childhood =)

Here's mom in the basement. Check out how low the ceiling is, and then check out all the fun wallpaper! Here's my mom's sister Angela in the corner where she used to have tea parties. The perfect location!
Notice the handicraft here... they spent hours picking which wallpapers were the prettiest and which ones would look the best next to each other.

And here they all are in front of the house!
