It's no secret that Rexburg is a tiny town, so when we booked a 6-night stay I was a little worried we wouldn't be able to fill the time. But, I think we managed ok.
Monkey Rock
When planning for this trip, I tried really hard to find things to do that were unique to the area. I thought this waterfall was pretty cool. The current was a bit stronger than I anticipated and the water was colder, but we all thought it was a pretty cool place!
Idaho Falls
It was a bit of a stormy day when we went to Idaho Falls...still warm but just dark and windy...and the temple gates were closed:( But the visitor's center was great.
Summer tripped and hurt her leg on the rocks, which was sad, but her expression in this picture is priceless...poor girl.
Mini Golf
Bowling
Jordan surprised us all with three strikes in a row!!! She almost beat Dad, which is unheard of in our family.
Elgin Lake
This trip was a bit of a fail on my part. I read about this lake that was right in the middle of the sand dunes, so I thought it would be great to experience both at the same time. Well, it was SUPER hot out and the entire lake was only ankle deep (not much for teenagers to do) and the sand surrounding the lake were so hot that we literally just about burnt our feet. It was awful. Plus there were a lot of bugs and we saw a snake--yuck. So after we helped Summer trap a few fish, we decided to call it a fail and leave.
Restaurants
Had to go to Big Judd's. Only we went to a different one than I went to as a college student (kind of disappointing) and none of the kids wanted to try the challenge of eating the entire burger and fries. So Mike and I shared it...and still couldn't eat it!!
Frontier pies used to be the fanciest restaurant in Rexburg. It was THE place to go back in the day. Well, now it's like a ghost town:( The food was still good (the kids got to try scones) and the pies were delicious (although I don't think they had quite as many to choose from as they used to)...and I think our waiter was training. I asked if I could have a salad instead of fries with my meal and he was like "I don't think so" and just disappeared. But eventually, he came back with my salad--haha
Summer and I stopped by Mill Hollow for frozen yogurt. It was completely unchanged and just as busy as I remembered it. I was a little confused about the sizing and ended up with this giant yogurt--Summer didn't seem to mind (until I made her throw half of it way).
And we can't forget our Sonic experience--hahaha! Somehow they messed up Tyson's order and got him a giant chili dog and then when he finally got his breakfast sandwich it was moldy--yikes. And he sat on a table and it fell over, and we had no ketchup and giant Ice creams!
