With my family in Pocatello

The fun adventrures of moving into a new place. We were in the basement apartment which stays really cool during the summer and is really nice. This is the mess that we started with and pictures are coming to show what it is like now. Each room looked pretty much like this.


After a long day of driving and moving into our new place as sisters, we all went to dinner at Pizza Hut. All of us meaning, my sister and I as seen above, my parents, and my grandparents as seen below. For some reason we didn't take a picture of my parents, or at least I don't have it.


We had a day in Idaho Falls to go to a few places that we don't have in Pocatello. One of the places we stopped at was the Falls, along the snake River that are there. The water was really high!!! but it made for really nice pictures as you can see with the temple in the background.

The story behind this picture is I wanted to sneek into it and it turned out really cute. Funny thing is that I am not at my usual height. i am scrunched down.

Then we also have pictures of us sisters with just our dad, and one with just our mom. It was a really nice day. We had a lot of fun together.

One day that I was not working, just after I began my summer speech class my parents and I went all over southeastern Idaho to take pictures of gravesites for some of our ancestors that are buried in various places. I took my book with me and read as we were driving but I had a lot of fun trying to help find the right headstones. We left Pocatello and then proceeded to the following cities: Inkom, McCammon, Lava Hot Springs (as seen above for the waterslide that goes across the road), Bancroft, Soda Springs, Grace, Thatcher, Preston, and Franklin. We also stopped in Whitney since that is the place that Ezra Taft Benson is buried. We didn't find the cemetery but it was still fun anyway. I talked my dad into driving to the Utah/Idaho border. He is such a good dad!!!!

Here I am by the Utah sign. I wanted one to show I was in 2 states but it was raining and it didn't work out that day. I loved it anyway. Then I turned around and took a picture of the Idaho sign the other direction.


My parents stayed with us for a week and we had a good time, even though my sister and I had to work off and on through that week. The main issue was that there was a water leak in our apartment which drenched the carpet in the living room. So we made the decision to move upstairs. More to come....
