• The begining of my vacation picture tour.  *grin*

  
  

  It depends on how much patience I have in the uploading process what gets uploaded.

  
  

  The trip to Pocatello was done in the dark.  So no pictures of that.  The first day picture of the kids playing in grandma's yard I put up a couple days ago.

  
  

  The second day mil had give me some money to spend for my birthday.  And she wanted me to spend it at a very specific place.  I thought of craktpot a lot *grin*  It was a HUGE beading store in Blackfoot, Idaho.  The outside of the store was sccccarey, old rundown, and decriped.  The inside was pretty similar *snicker*.  I guess mostly she does a mail-order business, and is open to the public one week a month.

  
  

  Anyhow inside there was every glass bead imaginable.  And I got to blow $50 on them.  Wow that was a lot of money on a craft project.  And hard at first...but then I figured out how to do it.  ROFL! 

  
  

  I bought enough beads for 3 necklaces

  
  

  

  
  

  So this was the store's sign.  I took a picture thinking of my goofy friend Jen whose always taking similar pictures. hehe.  And besides this sign was just plain umm unique. 

  
  

  And then thinking of craktpot I had to take a picture of the inside.  She would have been drooling.  *grin*   The lady specializes in Chekzollsovokian beads.  argh I KNOW that's spelt wrong.  Because she believes their colors are better.   I guess that makes them not necessarily uniform in size, but there sure was some pretty stuff.

  
  

  My mil is really into bead weaving.  But it just gives me a headache to contemplate it.  Those beads are TOO tiny.  hehehe

  
  

  So I ended up buying the beads for 3 necklaces.  A mostly red one,  a pink one.  and a purple,pink blue one.  Someday when I'm bored maybe I'll scan them.  Of course it would help if Rainee hadn't broken two of them already ROFL due to the fact that I bought cheap string 'cause I knew money was tight at home, and I knew I had good stuff AT home.  So gotta re-string two of them already.  *sigh*  She btw broke one of them on the trip home just before the second store denied the cc for the second time that day. 

  
  

  HMMMM.  I've currently been uploading this second picture for ten minutes.  So I guess my patience will be gone after it finally shows up.

  
  

  

  
  

  Okies then the store goes wider then this, and longer.  And yes it was a major hodge podge of containers holding the beads.  But entirely too fun. 

  
  

  So that was the entertainment on Thursday of our vacation. 

  
  

  Oh the other form of entertainment were the squirt guns that grandma brought out. 

  
  

  And my true pleasure of the whole week was getting my fil with one   DH told me not to.  He gave  me the "look" that says fil wouldn't deal with it.  But I gave him a "look" back and squirted away.  hehehehehehe

  
  

  He actually took it well.  And it was definitely the hi-light of the trip.  *snicker*  Unfortunately no pictures,  but definitely a good memory.
