I've been wanting my parents to come "hang out" with us for awhile and so to finally have them here it was great! On Saturday we woke up and went up to Rexburg to pick them up, we went to the Teton Dam Museum, we watched this movie about it and the destruction it caused. I, to be honest, had never really even heard about it...but it was quite the bit of history to learn. My mom had been up to this area shortly after it happened and so it was amazing for her to see the history about it. After the museum we went to the Teton Dam itself and looked at it. It was so fun to go "off roading" again. although my mom was not the biggest fan of the off roading she did enjoy the sight.
Eric was trying to take pictures and kept getting ants all over him...we were laughing because they only seemed to love him. My mom made fun of my shoe choice...which was flip flops...she said now she knows what to get me for Christmas...the right type of shoes.
On our way out to the dam we watched planes do crop dusting, my decided that will be her next profession.
After that we went to Ashton and ate at Big Judds which was super yummy! and then we took the scenic byway to Mesa Falls, My parents were there about a year ago but i had never been. I really enjoyed the walk and the falls. It made me thing about when my mom and i went to Niagara Falls. We took lots of pictures there and got eaten alive by the mosquitoes! One of my favorite things there were the tent caterpillars. My mom enjoyed seeing the hundreds of caterpillars in the tree nests, and there were HUNDREDS! We made a stop to look at the beauty of nature and found lots of caterpillars out of their nests, they were blue, we played with those for a little bit.
After that we went to my Aunts house and rested for about an hour, then went to dinner at Alan and Patti's house. We love spending time with them! We had Pulled Pork, and Sara's Salad, then Eric surprised me for my birthday with a chocolate cake that was SOOO yummy!
overall this has been a wonderful weekend, my parents gave me a curling iron for my birthday and i can't wait to try it out! (well i've already tried it at my moms...so i can't wait to have it here) we don't have any plans yet for this coming weekend, but i'm sure we will!
