Idaho Falls

 The kids were so excited for our trip to Idaho Falls again this year.  This year, due to budget constraints, we stayed with my nephew's wife's family at their cabin in Swan Valley ID.  They were very nice in letting us crash with them for 2 nights until we could drop Savannah off at CMM on Sunday afternoon.  Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of our activities Saturday or Sunday, or the camp, which was so cute.  These photos were taken Friday in Idaho Falls.  We stopped to walk along the river trail through town and found this really cool river park.  The kids had a great time exploring it and walking across the lily pond.  It was a little nerve-wracking for us as parents, because it bordered a steep fall into the swift waters of the Snake River.  Thankfully, none of the gang was lost.

 Next stop was the temple.  We got out and walked around the grounds for a while.  It was beautiful, especially at sunset.

I liked this photo of Moroni, with the setting sun lighting him up.

On Saturday we went boating on the nearby Palisades reservoir in Austin's boat.  The girls and Brighton LOVED it; Keaton and Waverly swore never to get on another boat during their lifetimes.  We then played on a small "beach" and drove out to Alpine, the closest city.  

Sunday we ate breakfast, then drove Savannah out to Camp Magical Moments, still in Swan Valley.  It was only her second time there, but the volunteers lining the driveway on both sides yelled and screamed for her like she was a returning celebrity.  I admit I teared up a bit, in my pregnant state.  She had a great time, and got spoiled again.  We picked her up in West Point UT 6 days later.  She'll have to blog her experiences while there.
