Airport

 

We are sitting in the airport enjoying a layover on our way back home. It was such a fun weekend. Too too short!  When we got to SLC we rented a car and headed to Idaho (by way of Cafe Rio). We got to the cabin first and it was just perfect. It was rustic and comfortable and had plenty of space. Soon the kids started trickling in. It was GREAT to see everyone. 

The cabin was a short walk from the snake river. Greg and Rob fished there as much they could. We all went down to look at the water and the bald eagles at least once.

On Saturday we went to Bear World! An awesome family favorite. We piled all the kids in the back of the suburban and drove through enjoying all the wildlife. They have rides and a petting zoo and huckleberry ice cream and we enjoyed all that they had to offer. Sawyer’s parents and brother and sister-in-law were also with us and it was fun to see them.

In the cabin we played lots of games and watched Hocus Pocus. 

We went to the hot springs and went swimming. It was steamy! The air was cold and we went at night so the kids thought it was quite an adventure!

Ezra’s blessing was beautiful and sweet. After we went to Sam and CJ’a house and grilled and had lunch and took some pictures. When everyone headed home Hannah and Sawyer and Ezra and Rob and I went to walk around the temple grounds and BYUI. It was very pretty out & we enjoyed our Sunday stroll.

In the mid afternoon we left and headed to mom and dad’s house to spend the evening. Sierra came over and Michael was there. We ate dessert and talked and played phase 10.

Early this morning we headed back to the airport. On our first flight there were 8 missionaries headed to their first assignments. We talked with them a little, which was so fun and reminded us of Ethan of course. 

Oh how I wish we all lived near each other. These precious times are too far and few between. 

Val and family were supposed to come with us but Jordyn has Covid:( They are home quarantined so that was sad. The rest was great. We saw a bull moose in the wild, Rob and Greg caught fish, the weather was great, the grands are grand!!
