"Idaho sure has a lot of stuff"

This year we took a quick trip over spring break to visit Michael's brother's family in Rexburg. This was everyone's (with the exception of Amy) first trip north of Logan, Utah. So it was the great unknown. As we crossed the border into Idaho we saw some trains, some semis, some mountains, and after a minute Spencer enthusiastically commented, "Idaho sure has a lot of stuff!" We're thinking of sending that to the Idaho board of tourism as a suggestion for a new add campaign.
Spencer was right! Here is the new Temple in Rexburg. You can see it from the Smarts front porch.
We had a great visit with John and Heather's family. All of our boy cousins are concentrated in their family, so this was especially exciting for Spencer. They were great hosts and we loved being with them.
The pizza dads.
We were also there to celebrate Heather's birthday!
This was a pretty quick trip for us. We drove up Thursday afternoon and had to get home Saturday morning. But we are definitely looking forward to seeing more of the stuff Idaho has to offer on future visits.

Yeah I now FINALLY have your blog in my favorites! Expect me to check in regularly.

Wish you could have stopped by our place -we have access to miniature goats, ponies, baby chicks, a dance studio... it's all happening in Rexburg!

Wow, my kids think Idaho is pretty much void of stuff. :) Maybe it's because we always go to the little town where Mike's Grandparents live. Not much stuff there! I have yet to go to Gardner's village, can you believe it?! I guess I'll put that one on my list.
