Papa & Kathryn's new house...

Papa and Kathryn finally closed on their house, and we were so excited to go check it out. It all happened so fast, that we hadn't even had a chance to go see it. I, of course, had driven by it a few times to see what I could see, but I hadn't seen the inside. It was fun because Kayla and her kids were also able to go see it with us. The deets are that they bought a 12 acre property out on Saltese Lake, which isn't really a lake, but more like a marsh. But it is totally beautiful and they have a gorgeous view of Mica Peak. It's in between the Valley and Liberty Lake in Greenacres. There are 3 of the acres that have the house and yard on, and where my dad will build his shop, but  the rest of the property is just land with animals roaming and it is this huge valley that is gorgeous. So, we got to go check it out.

The kids had a hey day running around in an empty house. It is so nice, too because the basement has a little mini kitchen and three bedrooms with bathrooms attached to each one. So, it will be totally nice when family comes to visit.

It's just nice and bright and new. I'm so excited for them.
It's a perfect size, too. And a perfect retirement home for them. All that they need for day to day life is on the first floor. No having to go up and down stairs every day all day. The upstairs has their master bedroom, my dad's office, and a spare room with a bathroom that will be Kathryn's room for all of her craft/work stuff. Not too big, but enough space for all that they need.

{Meg and Wes haven't even been out there, but Owen and Luke have! :) It was so cute, on our way out there, there is one turn in the road where you turn with the road and it kind of opens up to a big vista where you can see the valley and the mountains and some houses. And Luke says, 'WOAH! I can see to South America from here!!!' and he was so excited about it!

They have this awesome butcher block island in the kitchen with these under cabinent baskets. Perfect for breads and veggies. They are so cute!

The Master bath shower. My dad was really excited about how many people could fit in it. All the kids had to test it out! :)

Of course, Kathryn has her priorities right in getting things put in the house. She had this in the fridge first thing.
