Mesa Falls

Check out the rainbow... I LOVE rainbows!!!

We decided to take a trip to Idaho this last Friday and Saturday. Now I know most of you are saying..."Why in the world would you take a vacation to Idaho?" First of all it was only a two day trip...short and sweet. We left on Friday when Riley got home from school and we came back on Saturday and got home at dinner time...SHORT. We wanted, well Chad wanted, to take the kids up to Rexburg to show them where we went to school and lived and played basketball. So we got to Idaho Falls at 5:00 on Friday and had dinner and swam and after complaining FOUR TIMES about a smoke detector that would not stop chirping, the hotel finally switched us rooms and we were able to go to sleep. The next morning we headed up to Mesa Falls. If you haven't ever been...you should. It was an awesome sight. I had only been there once before and it was freezing cold and snowy so needless to say I wasn't enthusiastic about the scenery. After that we went back to Rexburg and met up with our old friends the Scott's. We ate lunch and let the kids play at the park. There was a splash park nearby and the kids could not resist making an appearance there. After a short visit we made our way through the town of Rexburg. It has changed so much but still was able to bring back good memories (Barronessa Apartments, roomates, Boys singing outside of our apartment I assume to me, winning basketball games...) and bad memories (Slipping and falling on the ice, sliding off the road, basketball conditioning, yelling coaches, the testing center...I literally gagged when I passed the testing center on campus on Saturday...). It's crazy how time has changed so many things and yet so many things stay the same. One thing is for sure, and that is the spirit that you feel while on the campus of Ricks College is a never changing feeling. It was fun to go back and remember how things used to be.
