Let's go Idaho

For fall break this year we took a trip up to Eagle Idaho to see The Pace's new house.  I had never been to the Boise area so it was a fun trip to see what it's like up there and of course to see Brigitte.

On the way up we stopped at Shoshone Falls.  It was so pretty and the falls are so big.  I've heard they are even more spectacular in the spring as they were at their low when we went.


When we got to The Pace's, the kids settled right in.  They all get along so well and have fun playing with each other.  The girls slept in their playroom on blow up mattresses and had fun rotating each night so everyone got a chance to sleep in the middle.  Jaron slept in Tagg's room and had fun being cute little roommates.




We went swimming one morning at the YMCA, which for some reason seemed to overwhelm the lifeguards as we had 6 kids swimming in literally about 6 inches of water.  insert eye roll...pretty comical though.


We decided to go drive by the new Meridian temple.  The open house wasn't opening until the next day and we didn't have tickets so we were just going to walk around.  When we got there the parking attendant told us to go to the chapel and they would let us through the tour since they were doing VIP tours that day.  We weren't dressed but he said it didn't matter.  It was so great, there was no line and we got a tour guide that would briefly explain each room.  It wasn't crowded and so when we got to the Celestial room it was so silent.  I loved it.  What a neat experience and I always love the chance to take my kids inside a temple when I can.


We also went and saw My Little Pony, ate at McDonalds and then one afternoon stopped at an indoor playground area where the kids loved climbing around.


We went to church and before we knew it our weekend was over.  We had so much fun and can't wait to spend another weekend up there sometime.
