Quick Trip to Idaho

A couple of weeks ago we took a few days and went up to Idaho to see how our family in that neck of the woods is doing. We first visited Andy & Saramarie for a few days, where we did a lot of reading from Andy's fine library and napping on their comfy couch. We also managed to get in some quality time cracking walnuts. Every day we went out for a walk along the greenbelt, which in spite of a little cold (could have been a lot worse) was a very pleasant experience. To explain the video, at one point on the trail the geese has left quite a trail of their own all over the place, so Saramarie didn't want to be looking at the camera.

After a few very relaxing days in Boise, we took off for Rexburg to visit Peter & Leigh-Ann. That was just too short a visit, but we crammed as much fun as we could into 48 hours. We started out at the Rexburg Temple, the temple always being a great place to start. Outside it was plenty cold, windy, and a bit snowy - the only snow we saw the whole trip - but we were cozy inside with full sessions all around.

The weather was mostly suited for indoor activities, so after getting something to eat, we hung around the apartment playing their Wii. Pretty fun, I must say. Although I didn't do so well with a real bowling ball (104 in our game with Andy & Saramarie in Boise), on the Wii I did great - 246 as I recall. As pointed out, Wii bowling is a great game for the older set. ;) I didn't fare so well on the boxing circuit, however, getting my plow cleaned pretty handily by my opponent. And cow racing wasn't my strong suit either, although I did okay at table tennis. Altogether, it was a great time!

Sunday we went to Church with Peter & Leigh-Ann, and were treated to some excellent speakers in all the meetings. After Church we had a great little dinner and unfortunately had to hit the road to get Saramarie back to Boise before she turned into a spud, and so we could be on our way early the next day. But we took time to take some pics before leaving.
Thanks to all for making our road trip a real delight!
