Family Reunion

We just spent the nicest weekend with our 30 immediate family members, our own children and grandchildren, in Rexburg Idaho.

Mike and Susan have a beautiful home on almost two acre's where Amy and Lisa pitched tents for their families to sleep in. The rest of us slept inside. They have five bedrooms. There is a sixth bedroom that is being used as a food storage room.

We arrived Friday night, had dinner, enjoyed the hot tub, (adults only) played Boxers and Briefs, as fun game until midnight, and called it a night.

Saturday after breakfast we drove up to the temple. Mike and Susan moved to Idaho a few months ago. Mike, works at the new LDS Rexburg Temple, and we had the opportunity of going to the temple site where he showed us around. We went into a trailer where the missionaries explain things to interested parties. There are pictures showing the temple from the beginning of construction, and we were given many interesting facts concerning construction and the inspiration that was given the Prophet that it should be placed in the spot where it is.

Afterward, we went to the splash park that is in the middle of town, and is free! The kids had a wonderful time playing in the water, and riding the merry-go-round.

We ate pizza and donuts, and after having a wonderful day, the kids all started for home.

Mike and I, and Cari and Stephen stayed that night and then drove to Yellowstone Park the next day.
