We spent a week in Idaho for Spring break. We haven't been in a little over a year. It was great to see our family but the weather was not so great. At least the snow was good news for whoever abandoned the snowmobile in the backyard.
It was the end of calving season and Dad moved all the cows into the field behind the house. The calves are adorable, but so noisy! One little calf lost its mom really early in the morning and would not shut up about it. It's almost as bad as waking up to a cattle auction.
One night while we were driving into "town" (Rexburg) we saw a moose in someone's yard. I thought a photo was appropriate so on the way home, I had Noah use the regular camera that was luckily in the car. He wanted to use his cell phone, but I insisted that a real camera was the way to go. And I was wrong. We were parked in the middle of the road for several minutes while the moose just stood there. We had every opportunity (including when it slowly crossed the road in front of my car) to get a decent picture and failed miserably. There really should be a moose in this picture. It was standing right in the driveway. I can't figure it out...
It's especially exciting when a new business opens in Rexburg, especially a new restaurant. Brandon was really excited to show us Gator Jack's. I have to give the owners props for the inside. The food was good too, especially these mini potato things..they might be called Gator Bites.
We were also going to check out the new self serve frozen yogurt shop (sorry Millhollow) but never made it there because we all managed to get various degrees of a stomach bug during the break. I'm not going to give a lot of details, but it wasn't pretty. Luckily, we were all mostly recovered by Easter.
Zack packed our old camera and took some pictures while we were driving. We've played a Dora inspired game since Noah was little to help him know when we are getting close to my parent's house. Now the boys all remember to look for the temple (Idaho Falls), bridge & Bear World. This is the bridge:
Here are some other scene's Zack decided to photograph. Most of them are on the road to the Grandma & Grandpa's house.
