So we are off, all of us packed in there like a can or sardines, minus the smell. My grandma and come along, so between the 3 adults and 2 children our trip was filled with alot of 'potty stops' For the most part the girls traveled well. Although there were times went Kenzie would give the usual shout out of "Are we there yet?" Or at one point it was even "I would rather sleep in a tree then drive anymore"
We finally made it to my aunts house in Idaho at about 8pm, what a long day. I love to visit my aunt. Her house is so welcoming and inviting. You can feel at home there instantly. Kenzie and Addison took to Braden really fast. Kenzie had a blast playing with Braden. And I had fun chasing Addison around the house, trying to keep her out of all the knick knacks... (Aunt Louise you need to child proof your house more!) We then left in the morning for Utah. My grandma stayed in Idaho. This part of the drive is my favorite. The stretch of I-15 from Idaho Falls to Salt Lake, its a pretty drive. We took a detour over to Rexburg to see the new temple. Man is it gorgeous!! Here is a picture of it. Its up on the top of the hill. You can see it for miles. Very majestic.
We were then on our way, but first had to stop for some great food at my favorite place to eat when I am down there.
I love this place... but the best part of the whole meal is the fry sauce. Yeah I know its really to make, but that fact that it comes in its own little package...I just love it. Canada has its poutine, and the USA has their fry sauce.
Alright so after a wonderful burger at Sonic we were off and on the road again. First stop was Idaho Falls to see the temple there. This temple is another nice one.. oh what am I saying all the temples are beautiful. But this one with the falls infront of it makes it really beautiful!
Kenzie was amazed that there were two temples so close together. I think in her mind there was only one temple and that was the one in Cardston. Once we were done our short stop in Idaho Falls we were back on the road. We finally made it to Utah in the afternoon. And after realizing that my mom had booked the wrong hotel, and getting lost trying to find the right hotel we were all pretty tired and just wanted to go to bed. Friday we spent most of the day at Temple Square. What a beautiful place in the spring. All the blossoms, all the flowers. I could of sat there all day and just smelled the air.
Words cant really describe the beauty of Temple Square so here are a few pictures.
Our last night in Utah my moms cousin Judy took us out to dinner. She wanted to make it a fun place for the girls so she took us to Tepanyaki. It was so much fun. And the food was great. You order your food, and then the chef comes out and cooks if for you right there on the grill at your table. Kenzie wasn't to sure about the big fire in the beginning. Little bit to close for her likeing. But Addison thought it was funny, she would force out her laugh and clap the whole time.
We then headed back home. Stoped in Idaho to pick up grandma. Spent the night then back on the road again. A nasty storm had just hit Manida pass and so the road where so bad. I hate that pass on a good day! But in the end fun was had by all. And we all made it home safely!!
This next picture is of Addison playing with the dolls at Aunt Louise's.
