The day before we left for Idaho we had visitors from Waddell.
The Kelly family came over after the parade and this is a picture of the old Waddell Ward primary.
Inman kids, Archdeacon kids, Kelly kids and the Merrill kids with a few missing.

Our first stop, Shiprock, New Mexico to eat lunch at Taco Bell
We didn't get to Idaho until 1:30 am (Idaho time) the next morning.

Our first tour of Emmett, Idaho.
Kelly drove us to her property were she has an awesome garden.
We took the back way out of Emmett and up this mountain and this is the view from on top.
Such a cute town, like the one you see in a movie.
Our second day there we took the kids swimming at the local pool and they had a great time.
Wednesday afternoon we drove to Middleton where my sister Becky lives and uncle Jeremy watched all the kids while us sisters went out to eat.
Saying goodbye. We left to go home on Thursday morning.

Gunner & Kenzie wouldn't take a picture together.
This is me trying to take a picture with Kelly but she didn't want anything to do with it because she hadn't been feeling good.
After leaving Idaho we made our first stop in Trementon, Utah for happy meals.
After being in the car for so long it was nice to get out and play.
Next stop, Temple Square.
We made it to the top of the church office building just before it closed.
We made our way to the North Visitor Center and this is the girls watching a short video.
We stopped in at the Tabernacle just in time to hear the pin drop.

It was decorated for the 4th of July and looked gorgeous inside.
And finally we went to the South Visitor Center and took our picture with Jesus. This is what MacKenzie was looking forward to the whole drive. She thought it was going to be the real Jesus and wanted to give him a hug.
After our Temple Square adventure was over we drove to Provo to meet Jamie, Jared and Nash at Applebee's. 
Me & Nash
All the girls in their pajamas with Nash at Jamie's apartment.
We left Utah at 6:00 am (Az time) and headed home. 
Harly loves elephants and was excited to take a picture with this giant one.
Daycee took a picture with grandpa Wellman. Just kidding, this is a golfer made out of golf clubs.

As we drove into Monticello, Utah we saw this temple my dad told us about and we stopped to take pictures. This was one of the first mini temples pres. Hinckley announced would be built.
This was such a cute town and real close to Blanding.
We finally made it home Friday evening around 5:30 pm
My mom's brothers and sisters all came up for the funeral and this is my Uncle Melvin and Aunt Cindy who drove from El Paso, Texas. I haven't seen them in such a long time it was so much fun to visit with them.
My Grandma Slade is first cousins with uncle Darwin's wife, Aunt Ethel. That is how they met. It was good to have grandma and my mom back in Eagar again.

While in Idaho, we got word that my mom's uncle Darwin had passed away and that his funeral would be on Saturday. That is why I hurried home, to be there for the funeral.

Looks like you had a great time! My kids really like The Hole In The Rock. I thought it was a fun place to stop, too! It's too bad you had to cut your trip a little short. Maybe you will get to go again.
