Last month Doran and I talked about visiting a different temple each month or as often as we could. Actually I talked, daddy listened. So this month would be our first trip. I looked up all the temples that were within a certain amount of hours from us and told daddy I could put the names in a hat and he could draw out of name. Instead he decided he wanted to go to Twin Falls Temple in Idaho. So when Friday morning rolls around and after we drove the kids to school in our jammies (because Chelsea was a sickie) we came back home to get showered and ready to go on our trip. Then another text comes and says that Cookie has hives and if we would go pick her back up from school. So off we go again. Dad has a hat on to cover his lovely hair. I on the other hand...psha! Then he proceeds to drive down MAIN to embarrass me. HE says to show off my beAuTiNess. Anyway......
We finally left town and on our way. I sent a text to my brother, Jon, and asked if by any chance any of his kids are in Twin Falls playing sports. They live in Pocatello but go all over playing sports. He writes back and says....."As a matter of fact...." Are you serious? LOL. Well we were able to watch Katie play two games in the FAREEZZing cold!! Good thing daddy had us grab a heavy coat and I through in a denim quilt. Ya never know if you will break down and need to bundle, right?
Here is Katie sportin' her jersey. She played short-stop, 3rd base and 2nd base. Their team won both games.
Hey batter, batter, batter.....she had some really good hits.
Most of the team went back home just to turn around and come back for more games on Saturday but Jon talked Katie and her friend into staying the night. So after the games we went to Jakers for dinner. I recommend this place. DEEElish! Doran and I shared the most tender steak. I'm ready to go back.
THIS....my friends is the "room" that daddy and I got. We got a smokin' deal on this place. Lesson for you: It never hurts to ask "Is this price the best you can do?" Usually they can give you a better deal. This was only about $19 dollars more than a regular room with NO jacuzzi.
Upstairs was the jacuzzi with a big TV.
The more we sleep on a King size bed the more we want one. But....until we move out of our cracker box and into our mansion we will cuddle just fine on our Queen bed.
I had the best nights sleep I had in such a long time until daddy started stealing covers about 5 a.m.
This jacuzzi was HUGE!!
There were three big TV's in the whole place.
On our way home we decided to stop at a couple of "sites" that we were told we had to see. So we found this place.
And this place.
You can't see it but the spray from the falls were getting us pretty wet. AND it was blowing and cold.
We decided that we DEFINITELY have to go back in the summer time. The weather would be better and the colors prettier.
This one shows the spray pretty good.
We can't wait to go back!
Then we stopped here. I am guessing this is where the city got their name.
But now there is not 'twin'.
And the reason for our trip....
The Twin Falls Temple.
Before we left I made sure that it was going to be open. We discovered that they do not rent clothes there so we had to get Doran some pants the night before.
AND when we were done with our session we found out that because this is such a small temple that you needed to schedule a session. Ooops. No wonder it was so packed.
This was the smallest temple we have been in and it was very personal.
It got me SO excited for the Brigham City Temple!!!
I think the Brigham temple will be a little bigger than Twin Falls but I guess we will wait and see.
Once again...blowing and cold!
That is the end of our Temple Trip tour.
Thanks for joining us. I can't wait to see where we get to go next.
