Rexburg

We took the kids to Idaho for Fall Break. I got to go home! The first time in 2 years!!! It was a wonderful trip. Started out with a stop at Mike's Aunt and Uncle's house in Leeds , Utah. Mike and his Dad were running the St. George Marathon ( AGAIN!!!) The kids were shown a whole new world at Roger and Susan's house. They have horses, chickens, honey bees, cats and dogs, and......4 WHEELERS!!!!!! They were in heaven and we were so blessed that they were kind enough to let us stay. Day 2 we went to SLC and picked up my sister Beth and here beautiful baby boy known at our house as Baby Isaac. They rode with us up to Mom and Dad's in Rexburg. Great visit with family, met my new sister-in-law, lost of shopping at the amazing craft stores, tour of BYUI campus ( once the boys saw the cafeteria they were sold on attending school there!). The kids got to do one of Papa's favorites: FISHING!!!! Their cousins from Idaho Falls came along and Mike went to help keep an eye on everyone! They all caught some fish and our Julia especially loved it. My brother Daniel took the boys rock climbing. Rick took them to the park and taught them how to jump out of the tree house onto the trampoline! Tim and his new wife spoiled them with ice cream and came with us to I Jump. This is a place with wall to wall trampolines, a dodge ball court and foam pits to jump into. It was a blast!! They could have played for hours. I loved watching the dodgeball!!! Mike has some serious moves!!!!! I also enjoyed some time with Beth and Val getting our nails done. Girl time with no babies thanks to Granny! Lastly, we went to Big Jud's, a college student favorite. It look our whole family to eat the burger! The only one missing was Samantha. It would have been perfect if she had been there too. So the trip was great and I'm sure we will be planning another very soon!
