Day 1 in Idaho

We headed out for Idaho to spend an entire month with family. We started in Rexburg and were so excited to see everyone, especially Damon and Emily and their kids who we hadn't seen in two years. Jared set up a repel and zip line off his parents deck and the kids (and Sara) had a blast. All the kids hit it off right of the bat, unfortunately the kids had a little too much fun the first night and Mia ended up with two broken bones in her arm. She was much braver than her mom, who literally almost passed out while the doctor described what they were going to do in order to set the arm. The doctor said that the medicine would make it so she didn't remember what happened, but that she would still scream and feel pain. When the doctor set the arm all Mia did was look up at Jared and say in her quiet little voice "that hurt". She is amazing.

That really is amazing that she was that calm. She's tough. What a fun vacation. It's always hard getting back to "the real life" after a good vacation!
