Idaho trip


My step brother, Michael, got married in the Idaho Falls Temple this weekend. It was pretty cold and rainy, so picture time was a little scarce. After the ceremony, we went to their luncheon. We had some time to kill between the luncheon, and the reception, so we took the kids to see Shrek. They loved it. They have never liked any of the other Shrek movies, so we were surprised that they enjoyed this one so much. We went to the reception, and didn't end up staying too long. It was a beautiful place, but a fairly small space, with not a lot of kid friendly things to do. There was a big Koi pond that runs through the middle of the reception center. We spent the majority of the time trying to keep kids, ours and random, unattended kids, out of the pond. There was also a dessert bar set up. It was very cute and creative, however, nobody was attending this either. There were jars of different candies, and kids were going crazy loading plates with different treats. There was also a lemonade fountain that we saw two cousins get a drink, taste it, decide they didn't like it, and dump it back in the fountain. After that we decided it was time to go. :)

We got to stay with Dave and DeeDee at their home in Rexburg. We decided the adults should go to dinner, and Morgan, Laura, and Emily watched the boys. It was a great decision. :) We stayed up late talking to Dave and DeeDee about our families. It was a great talk. I love the Graham family- they are the best! The next day, we went to Yellowstone. We had a great time! We saw tons of buffalo, and other wildlife. We got to see Old Faithful, and many other geysers, and sights. Camden loved the "gooey geysers, and wanted to see a "volcano explode!" He still talks about Yellowstone. That evening, we were able to see Beauty and the Beast in West Yellowstone. It was a great day!


The next day, We went to church in Rexburg, and then headed back home. It was a good weekend, and we are so glad we got to visit with family.
