We're Home!

Well, we are home from our little road trip. We had a great weekend and now it is back to reality. We headed out on Saturday afternoon to Blackfoot and arrived at Sally and Reed's house (Mat's relatives) just minutes after Jeff (his cousin) showed up from Salt Lake. We had a great time just catching up for a little while around their fire and then headed out to some delicious Mexican food. Then we swung by Mat's great grandma's old house, but we couldn't see much since it was dark outside. It was such fun hearing all about Mat's family and just funny stories.

Sunday morning we had some delicious caramel rolls and then just had a lazy morning around their house. We had some wonderful breakfast for our lunch and just continued to talk throughout the afternoon. Before we knew it, it was 5:00! So we got our things together to head out to Idaho Falls, the second stop on our journey.

We got to Idaho Falls and checked in to our room and turned around and headed to Olive Garden. We had a gift card from Christmas that we were just waiting to use! So we ate way too much and then headed back to the hotel. The rest of our evening was spent watching movie previews! Some may think this is silly, but Mat and I could spend hours watching movie previews and hotels are the perfect place to do it! So we have a great list of potential renters for the next few months!

This morning I had meetings all morning and then we had lunch with the commissioners before we headed back home. We've spent the rest of our evening curled up on the couch!

I tried to take pictures because I really want to start including more in my blog. So here is my half hearted attempt. We didn't even take family pictures we were so busy talking! Hope everyone had a great weekend.

You can't tell, but there are a few hundred elk in this picture. We also saw an antelope, a big group of deer and maybe another few elk (could have been more deer). I didn't get pictures of any of those!


These don't look so big, but these icicles were HUGE!

Fat kitties sometimes get places they are not supposed to be. You wouldn't think he could jump on top of a six foot bookcase!

Just a pretty picture on the way to Blackfoot. Too bad we were going about 75 miles and hour and it is kind of blurry!

I think that doesn't really look like a very fun place to live...Thanks for the heads up!
