A Vacation to Rexburg!

Never thought I'd say this, but we actually took a vacation to Rexburg, Idaho!  Definitely colder and we were always on the go, but it was wonderful to see friends, meet their kids, and visit with old professors.

After driving through the night, Bryson had to wake up Nick around 7am to let him know we had arrived :)  No better way than jumping on somebody!

The weekend we were there actually overlapped 1/2 a day with my Mom and Jenny dropping Chip off for his first semester at BYU-Idaho!  Brynn remembered everyone and Jenny got to meet Abigail

We were able to swing by and visit Mike and Maryanne and meet their little guy James.  It was fun to see them, but we were completely exhausted and had been awake more than 36 hours by this point so we weren't very energetic, but still fun to chat for a bit!

Mike IS tall, but not quite as tall as this picture leads on to believe...he isn't a giant, just 6 foot and some odd inches.

We met Kyle and Angie at the park and Mason and Brynn enjoyed playing in the wagon!

Had to include a picture of Angie (Kyle was somewhere else...) and their cute little girl is in the carseat!

Abby  is about 2½ months old here - just enjoying the warm Rexburg weather!

Our attempt at a family picture in the gardens.

BATH TIME!!  Mary and I bathed Brynn and her daughters at once and they had fun "cooking and splashing" away!

 

At the park again!

Brynn had to wear Bryson's sweatshirt since I forgot ours back at Mary's house! She didn't seem to mind!

Here we go - a picture of Kyle, Angie and their two awesome kids!  We were feeding the ducks in the canal outside their apartment!

We saw more people than we took pictures, but it was great to visit!  Thanks for letting us drop in and mess up your routines!  And of course a HUGE thank you to Nick and Mary for letting us stay with them and take over their home for a few days!  It was definitely worth it to see them more!  AND Mary babysat so we could attend the Rexburg Temple - thank you!!  You guys are awesome!!
