There's no Place like Home!!!

After driving 2987 miles and seeing 39 license plates, WE ARE HOME!!!! The kids and I had a great vacation. We sure did miss having Daddy around. Hopefully, next year he can come with us. Jaxon has decided that we should make it a summer tradition. We will have to see about that. We went to all kinds of places. Jaxon's top favorite 5 things were the Copper Mine, the Zip Line and Alpine slide at Snowbird, Jump on It in Pleasant Grove, Going to the Twin Falls Temple Open House, and staying in hotels with swimming pools. Phebe's top things were Jump on it, the hotels, playing with Maya, Sophie, Hannah, Katie, and Abby, and the Twin Falls Temple. My top things were seeing Julie and Todd, visiting with family, the Zip line, the Material Girls quilt shop (a lot), seeing Ricks College (aka BYU-Idaho), seeing Karlee and Spencer (almost makes me want to have one), and taking my kids to the Twin Falls Temple. I could keep going. It was great to spend time with Kyle, Robby and the girls. It was good to get some cousin time in since we don't get to see them very often. Karlee's blessing was awesome. She is a cutie pie. We survived the Vegas heat. We even took the kids to the playground in 110 degree weather. Being with Julie and Todd was what I needed, (mostly, Julie). Wish we lived closer to them like we did in Oregon. I loved the girl talk in the car. As you can tell we all loved the Twin Falls temple. It was a very spiritual experience. We all felt the spirit especially in the celestial room. Jaxon liked the sealing room with the mirrors that go til eternity. Phebe was excited about everything. I am glad we saved it for last. On the way home, we went through a thunderstorm that felt like we were in a tornado. Very cool and scary at the same time. Pics will come later. We have too many to choose from. I have to say one more thing. My kids are the greatest. I did not have one problem traveling with them. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. We are very lucky parents to have them in our lives.
