Road Trips

Since the weather has not been cooperating to do much yard work (break my heart), we have gone on a couple of road trips. First, was to Teona & Richard's place for Memorial weekend. Mostly we hung out with the family, but we did get a load of rocks (that made it all the way home this time!)


We your together with family, what's more important than eating....


We went up to Fish Lake, and had a great dinner at the Bowery Haven Resort. When we got home it was nice to dump the load of rocks in our yard vs at the side of the road!


This past weekend - still raining - we decided to take off early and celebrate our anniversary. We wanted to go somewhere we hadn't spent much time - so we went north up through Idaho. We stopped in Idaho Falls and checked out the remodeled visitor center at the temple. We watched and listened to the testimonies of the many of the First Presidency and Twelve Apostles in a new display they had - way cool. The we went to Rexburg and saw the new temple there.


Apparently, BYU-Idaho had Special Olympics going on so every hotel room was booked for miles around. We found one in St. Anthony, just up the road from Rexburg. We now know why there was an open room.


I gave Laurie a new camera, so she could take better pictures...


Then next day we went to West Yellowstone, Yellowstone, and Bear World. Lots of rain and snow, plus we got to see a lot of animals. It was fun to see them in the snow.
