Fun trip

The last five days has been a whirlwind of fun. We started out on Wednesday driving to Park City to meet up with a group of Doctors that we have worked with many times in the Dominican Republic and El Salvador. They were in SLC for training and we met them for dinner. We look forward to working with all of them again in the future. They are great people who serve their countries teaching Newborn Resuscitation.

Thursday we met Rachel, Ana, Lily and Lauren at Hires for a great lunch. We all had turkey sandwiches at the famous burger place.

Lily always puts on her best face for pictures. We discovered on this trip that the grand kids were less than cooperative when the camera came out.

After all these years I have never seen the Utah State Capitol. Ana, Lily and I looked around inside of it. It was really nice. After our little tour Jeff and I headed north for Boise.

We stopped in Twin Falls to check out the new Twin Falls Temple. It was dedicated this weekend. Very nice. We then spent two fun filled days with the Hurst's and Baldwins. They live just two blocks apart, so we bounced back and forth between them. The heat let up while we were there so that was nice. We did marathon mall shopping, pedicures for the gals, Kung Fu Panda movie, walking in the neighborhood, house shopping for Hurst's and of course trying out as many restaurants as possible and just visiting.

Here are Mitch, Leslie, Ella and Edie. The Hurst girls
Grace was not into picture taking.

However Grant was! He will soon be 11. I told him it seems like just yesterday he was born. By time that much time passes again he will have returned from his mission. Hard to believe.

Below the Baldwin's pose for the camera (excluding Grace who held out to the end). She did put on a nice concert for us singing along with music on the CD player.

Edie finally put on a smile for me. Thanks everyone for a great trip. We had a blast. Well except for the mind boggling noise at dinner Saturday night. As you all know I do not like lots of noise. We went to Dave's Famous Ribs and you could not even think it was so noisy.

Oh and we arrived back in Rexburg Sunday evening. Stopped at Andy's to drop off some clothes for the girls from Leslie. Lynne had just put a roast beef dinner on the table so we got to eat with them. Yummy stuff. I love to get to eat somewhere else on Sundays. Perfect ending!
