Quick trip to Rexburg

Jared was with us for almost two weeks before heading back to Denver to be our bread winner. We spent most of the time in Malad just relaxing and Jared spent some time building a chicken run for my Dad. We spent the last few days of Jared's vacation with his family in Rexburg. The picture of the kids in helmets is just outside the civil defense caves in Rexburg. We didn't make it all the way through because we left behind a very needy baby and didn't want to be gone too long. My mother-in-law was such good sport about taking the baby while Jared and I finally got some play time (This hasn't happened in a long time). Thanks Maxine! Anyway, the picture of us in the canoe is up at Island Park. We stayed at Jared's Grandparents cabin a couple days. We got caught in the rain on our first trip down the river. My grumpy face is because I threw my coat in the water.....yes I am very smooth! Even without my coat, it was really fun. If you look closely you can see the kids under the plastic cover. Our second trip down the river was even more fun though. Jared and I took one conoe and Jared's sister, Sara, and her friends took the other two. We left at about 11:00 and went down in the dark. We couldn't see a thing even though we all had headlamps. The fog was so thick that we could only see a few feet in front of us. We all finally figured out that we could see better without the headlamps. It was REALLY fun....definitely something we need to do again. My brother and his fiance Karissa came up and canoed the next morning and took the kids down the river a few more times. What a fun trip!
