A night in Idaho

Last Friday we headed up to Idaho to go check out BYU-Idaho because Heather will be attending there in the fall. We met at my parents' house in the morning and then bummed a ride in their van during the trip :)  So, the 3 of us plus mom, dad, Amanda, Heather, grandma, grandpa, and Halle went. Abbie was very good in the car and even napped for awhile, and Heather and I played lots of Mario party. We ate lunch in Idaho Falls by the river and then drove up to Rexburg. We got to see where she will live and then Heather, Brandon, Abbie, and I walked up to campus to see where her classes will be, etc. We were lucky enough to get a quick private tour on a golf cart of the campus. 

Afterwards, on our drive back to Idaho Falls (where our motel for the night was), we stopped at a county lake to swim. The lake was really fun. We especially loved the the slide out in the middle on a floating raft. 
 
 Abbie swam for a bit and loved it but she got really cold and I made her get out, so she played in the sand and on the playground for most of the time with Brandon, since he doesn't even like to swim (he did go down the water slide one time).
 

For the rest of the night we just chilled in our motel rooms and watched the opening ceremonies of the Olymipcs. Speaking of which, I am very sad that we don't have tv, so I probably won't get see anymore of it. :(  
Our room actually consisted of 2 rooms so there were plenty of beds and 2 bathrooms, one of which was Abbie's bedroom.

Saturday morning we packed up and checked out. Then we headed over to check out the mall. Heather got a bunch of school clothes, and Abbie (and grandma) got to go on some fun rides.

On the way home we stopped in Tremonton at our favorite pizza place there (I don't even know what it is called). They have the most delicious breadsticks. Once again Abbie found another fun ride.


Even though the trip was quick and not very far away, we had a blast!
