Summer Road Trip Part 2: We Take a Detour

After we left my sisters house we drove about 5 hours to Twin Falls. We stopped at a Target to get a blanket for me (Royd likes the air on full blast, and I was freezing.) The clerk informed us we were only a couple of miles away from the the falls. We took a quick detour to the falls. Totally worth it. The pictures don't do it justice. It was super cool. On the way back to the freeway we ran into the temple. Royd was not about to stop, so I snapped a few pics out the window.

Then we were off to Boise. The map said we had another 5 hours to Salem, so we stopped and got a hotel room. We went to dinner at Tucanos Brazilian Grill. It was fun to watch the kids eyes as the servers kept coming with more and more meat. By the time we left Dace was an expert with the tongs. I think between Quade and Dace, they ended up eating the equivalence of a whole cow and two chickens. It was a fun experience.

After we left the restaurant Royd and I were getting a little frustrated with the kids. Not one of them had thanked us for dinner (or anything else for that matter.) Royd sat them down and gave them all a lecture on being grateful. After he was finished Dace piped up "I was the only one that was just about to say thank you." Then gave dirty looks to the other kids.

After dinner we walked around the temple. The next day it was off to Salem.

To Be Continued.... Da Da Dun


Reese's Face Says It All


P.S. We totally embarased Quade. We didn't have enough clothes so Royd stopped at Areopostale and baought us all t-shirts that were on sale. All of us looked like we were trying to match each other. A walking advertisement. 12 year old boys think that's so un-cool. I liked it just because it made Quade so uncomfortable. Love to watch'em squirm.
