So we went to Rexburg to visit D's brother and go play in the snow. As we were driving there we were a bit worried as we seemed to have more snow than they did. Once we reached Idaho Falls did we finally see big snow and in Rexburg they have lots of snow. We checked into our hotel and were surprised to find a empty swimming pool. We had planned this vacation with time for the kids to swim as it is one of their favorite things. Of course the hotel decided to do their pool fixing this weekend when we had planned our trip. The kids were very bummed and I felt bad as we had chosen this hotel to save a little money instead of going to the more expensive ones that had, of course, pools not being repaired. It is our luck 2/3 of the time we go somewhere with a pool the pool ends up closed. I guess we should really make that a question when we book hotel rooms.
Rexburg is cold. The girls had fun watching the thermometer in the car drop lower and lower. At one point it was at 4 degrees. BRRR. The hotel room was warm except by the big window where I was sleeping.
We spent all day Saturday at D's brothers and had a blast. The kids played in the deep snow and pulled long and tall icicles off of their house. Boo drove the snowmobile and got lost in the big field. The snow is white it was snowing and the clouds were low. It is very scary and D and his brother had to go and find her. I did not participate in the outdoor fun but stayed inside and watched the baby. After a fun day in the snow we snuggled the kids up in front of a movie and we went to a nice dinner with D's brother and his wife. Keri no worries about Jessica and the throwing up. Clothes wash and she did not mean to. I felt bad that she was sick.
Thanks Rich and Keri for all of the fun this weekend. We will have to come again to play in the snow. The kids had a blast and so did we. Thanks for letting us come.
We came home on Sunday because we had planned a nice dinner with my sis and her family to make up for the birthday dinner that did not happen because of sick kids. Big D was making us curry and Japanese food for dinner. We were all very excited for the fun.
The curry was yummy and wonderful and we had lots of fun. The kids always play pretty good although I think my kids were a bit tired and grumpy. Fussy was so cute we brought over his birthday present of a nice cars blanket and some hot wheels. One of the hot wheels had a roof that came off and he kept pulling it off and then insisting that you "fix it". He is getting so big and fun to be with.
The girls got big D and Meemer watching a video on the computer and my D thought it would be fun to sneek out. I tried to stop him but he was determined. Sorry Meemer, he did not mean to be mean. Thanks for our really nice dinner. It was fun. We will have to do it again in a couple of weeks for Bears B-day.
