Visit to the Farrells


We knew we HAD to squeeze in a visit to the Farrells before we moved away, so on the girls' birthday the kids and I headed up to Idaho for a few days (while Michael stayed home to pack like the amazing man he is!)
Ellie made the girls birthday cupcakes and Heather helped them re-bind a book as a gift. 

While we were there it was non-stop fun, sewing, playing, chatting, and laughing. We made some great stops too. We visited Soda Springs where carbonated water bubbles up from a spring! After making our own "sodas" with drink mix and the spring water, the kids played on the most perfect old-fashioned playground ever. They now understand why they don't put those giant tetter-totters in playgrounds any more!


We also took turns tubbing down a section of the river near Lava Hot Springs. It was a blast!  

Another day we hiked through these beautiful fields of mustard in full bloom to the top of a peak overlooking Pocatello. The flowers, the light, and the views were unreal. 


The little kids put on a funny skit while the big kids filmed a silent movie of Robin Hood. We just love these people so much! It's amazing that we're still such good friends with we met in Iowa all those years ago. If only they were coming back to Iowa with us.
