On August 12th we left for Eastern Idaho since Jeff was going to be working there. We stopped in Declo and had dinner at Jeff's parents' house and the boys decided they would rather stay the night there than travel to Pocatello to stay in the hotel. So Jeff, Olivia, and I went to Pocatello. The next afternoon I went back to Declo and picked the boys up after they went to the Burley parade. Then we went and picked Jeff up in Pocatello before we all went to Idaho Falls. Lots of driving!
We stayed Wednesday & Thursday night in the hotel there, we had planned on doing lots of swimming on Thursday but the boys all got chemical burns from the hot tub---not fun. So we improvised and had lots of fun hanging out in the hotel room and relaxing.
Then we went to dinner and to the Idaho Falls Temple.
They have a visitors center there and we were able to watch a short video about how families can be together forever.
I'm so thankful for the knowledge that this is true.
On Friday we ventured out and went on a walk, it had been raining off and on like crazy the past few days so it was nice to get some fresh air. We walked to a PetsMart store where we looked at all of the colorful fish, expensive kitties ($90 to adopt a cat!) some bright birds, hamsters, rats, a tarantula, a scorpion, and some lizards.
The boys tried desperately to convince me we needed to go home with at least one of the pets in the store, but we made it out the door without anyone extra.
Then Jeff dropped us off in Declo so he could go to an appointment in Shoshone Falls that afternoon. We met him at the Fair when he got back in town and we were able to see more animals.
And some tractors...
Owen peeked through the fence at the cowgirls, but Grandma & Grandpa took Ethan & Owen to the rodeo the next night.
Kamden opted for a quiet night in...after eating just about everything at the fair!
