Around the Town

Richie's cousin Kara and her husband Kelly stayed with us this past weekend and it was a lot of fun to get to know them better. While they were here we took them to Mesa Falls which is about 30 minutes north of Rexburg, but it's a beautiful drive all the way there! You wouldn't think that there would be gigantic waterfalls in Southeast Idaho, but you'd be wrong! These waterfalls are huge and just surrounded by green everywhere. You can get pretty close to them to. There's also a bridge on the way there, over a river where there are always big fish to feed.

A picture of the amazing falls!


I look like a greaser, but Richie looks cute, even when he's wearing my pea-coat!

Then on Labor day, we were just glad to have a day off to rest for a minute, so we didn't make any huge plans, but we had a great day nonetheless! We rode our bikes all around our town despite the chilliness. We went to the tabernacle, played a little frisbee golf at Porter Park, tried to go to some Museums but left when we realized it cost money to get in (go figure), but our favorite was the upstairs of some businesses on Main street.
One of our friends is renovating some apartments there so we went to check them out and ended up finding the coolest place! It's these totally run-down buildings with old signs on them, and there just happened to be a door wide open, so we walked inside to find an abandoned dance studio! So we took some pictures. Our film cameras may have cooler ones on them, but I don't know how to post those. :)

who needs money when you live in Idaho with beautiful scenery and lovely abandoned buildings? I'm jealous, and is that snow already that I saw on the building? Hey, when is the day that you find out if it is a boy or girl?

I'm not surprised at all that it's so beautiful there. I love the waterfall.

No, it's not snow (thank heavens!!!), but I'll bet by Halloween there is some :( We find out in 2 weeks on Sept 19th. Wahoo!!! I'll be 21 weeks then.
