This weekend, after SM's graduation, we drove up to Idaho Falls to visit our friends, Marty and Jill. I had my first eye exam and am proud to report that as of yet, I do not need glasses. We are also really excited that the lasic (sp?) eye surgery SM had on his eyes three years ago is still holding and he continues to have great vision. The above picture is of the Idaho Falls Temple. We decided to be tourists one day and went to the temple to take pictures. The spring weather has almost arrived and the tulips were beginning to open up.
This is the middle daughter of our friends. She is sporting her new glasses. She kept telling her dad that she needed glasses, and he didn't believe her. But one day he did an exam on her and she really did need them...but just barely. Apparently she really wanted glasses and now she has them.
Here's Marty checking up on his raspberries that he planted earlier in the week. While we were there, he planted 250 strawberries in his front flower garden...in the pouring rain. He was wet and numb when he finally got it done but very happy to have those plants in the ground. Each day he would tell us how excited he was to grow strawberries.
Jill was an amazing cook! I had some very delicious meals and now have some new recipes to add to my arsenal.
Here's their oldest daughter. I think she looks like her mother. She's also got a great personality and loves to cook.
And here I am "reading" a coloring book with their youngest. He is all boy!
And here are the happy couple! But they both look really tired, as they should be since they stayed up talking to us after midnight for four days in a row.
We look less tired because we slept in each morning. Also, SM is really happy because we played hours upon hours of games.
Playing games was the number one reason SM wanted to go to Idaho Falls to visit Marty and Jill. Poor Marty came in dead last in all but two times...and I think we played at least ten times. We did play a variety of games so I think this just wasn't Marty's weekend for winning.
I had to take a picture of the sky on our way home. The clouds were amazing! I love the beauty that is all around me.
