I Need A Vacation From My Vacation!
Hey everyone. We have been on vacation and haven't had internet access, so I have a few things to catch up on. We left at the end of May and drove with all the kids up to Provo, UT. We were able to visit with my family and go see all the sites. This is the kids in my grandparents' backyard. I wish it was that green and pretty here.
We took the kids up to Salt Lake to Temple Square. We took a tour of the Conference Center, went to the Visitors Centers, and saw the Tabernacle and the Temple. Avery was asleep in the stroller for this family picture.
One of the kids' favorite places to go in Provo is the Monte L. Bean Museum. It's free, so it's also Mom and Dad's favorite. Everyone loves looking at all the animals.
Then we drove up to Rexburg, ID where Bryce's family met us at Becky and Devin's apartment. Becky is Bryce's sister and her husband, Devin, is going to school at BYU-Idaho. We got the tour of Rexburg and got to visit with family. Isn't their new temple beautiful?
Then we all headed up to Devin's grandparents' ranch outside of Ririe, ID. It is such a great place to go to relax and have fun. They had a golf course, a zip line, a water slide, some really tall slides, and lots of room to explore. We even got to run over to Wyoming to get some fireworks.
The guys did some kite boarding. Which, I think , is basically trying to kill yourself by flying into the air attached to a kite. Luckily the wind they got didn't get them too high.
The biggest event of the trip was going over to Jackson Hole, Wyoming to go white water rafting down the snake river. The weather hadn't been as warm as we expected it to be in June. And it actually snowed that day while they were all going down the river. I hung out with the kids and shopped with Bryce's Aunt Ebra in Jackson Hole while they rafted.
Ethan and Avery both got sick on our trip, but other than that, everyone had a great time. Thank goodness for DVD players in cars. Thanks to Devin and Becky and their family and to Grandpa and Grandma Simons for such a good vacation. I had so much fun that I am now totally exhausted. We got back yesterday and are now playing catch up on all our work. Sorry for the long post. We did a lot.
