I realized I was only half way through our vacation to the west before I got caught up in the basement so for my own documentation I’m going to continue forward with our trip in pictures…Last I posted we were leaving Rexburg…

We rented a car and drove from Rexburg (Steve’s family) to Payette (my family). We realized just a few days prior to this that the Twin Falls temple open house was taking place. Twin Falls is just off the freeway and really not out of the way, so we reserved some tickets. What was great was the fact that Hallie grew quite close to the temple staying in Rexburg. Never failing, everytime we would drive by it (which was every time we got in the car) she’d quietly start singing from her carseat, “I love to see the temple”. She was so excited one night when Nana and Papa took her to walk around the grounds of the temple. So you can imagine her excitement when we pulled up to the Twin Falls temple and told her that she was going to go inside the temple. She thought this was so cool and she once again started singing quite loud (as we’re gathered in a small room waiting our turn for the tour) “I love to see the temple”. It was beautiful and had beautiful murals painted in several of the rooms with regards to the Twin Falls area. We felt so blessed to have stumble upon the opportunity to attend, seeing as though we felt cheated not being able to go to the Rexburg temple. Hallie was great, and continually pointed out Jesus in all the pictures she could find, which in a temple happens to be a lot.
