Sometimes life throws curve balls at you, it is not fun at all, but I've decided to make the most of it! This weekend started our summer of adventures. It was the perfect weekend.
Saturday Eric came home from a ward camp out and took me on an adventure. We drove to Rexburg and then kept going. I wasn't allowed to know where we were going. I was told to count the cattle guards, and once we've hit 3 we will be turning. So we counted...it took forever to get to the third cattle guard. We saw a lot of sheep, and sang my own rendition of home on the range. Finally we got to the third guard, and we started going off road through a muddy road. Eric had the time of his life taking our Escape through the puddles. Finally we reached our destination. Eric told me about the lava tubes and the ice caves. As we saw some people leave there pant legs were soaked i started to get a little worried but was excited for the adventure. As we Army crawled onto the ice i wasn't sure about it but i am so thankful i did it! and i can't wait to go back and do it again. Here are a few pictures but it doesn't quite capture how beautiful it was.

After the caves we were a little wet, but by the time we got back into Rexburg we were pretty dry. Since we got married eric was wanted to plant a garden, so we decided to go to walmart and see what we could find! We got a black, green, and red pots and 2 tomato plants and a purple pepper, we also got a bird feeder. I am so excited to see our plants grow and to get some tummy treats from them.

We ended the day by getting frozen Yogurt and a drive in movie, We put a twin air mattress in the back of our very muddy escape and went and saw Tomorrowland. It was a great movie! i really enjoyed it and stayed awake for it!

Overall it was the perfect day! i couldn't have asked for a better "mini vacation" Our are now going to make a list of things we are going to do this summer in Idaho. I am grateful for this adventure because i would have never seen these ice caves if i hadn't miscarried, So this summer is filled with adventures i couldn't have done if pregnant.
