Not Done Yet

 I am not done putting the things in I want to remember about summer yet, even though we are two months into fall.  I feel like we had a few more fun things we did before we switched gears.  These are more of our Idaho road trip.....

We went to church in Boise before we headed to Rexburg.  The Boise temple was recently given a face lift and is closed until late fall.  This is a peek at the new look--very beautiful!
 The kids sure were hoping to get a glimpse of the "smurf turf" at BSU but the facilities were closed because it was Sunday.  We still had fun walking around and got a little bit of a glimpse of the field.  Jared had football camp there in June so he has actually been there quite a bit. 

 We also went to Craters of the Moon on our way to Rexburg.  It was very hot but the kids thought it was pretty cool. 
 Temple grounds #2 and #3 we visited were Rexburg and Idaho Falls.  Three temples in one day!  Not bad!

 The next day Amanda and Jared (actually all of us) took a prospective student tour of BYU-I.  I am amazed at how much the campus has changed since I've been there.  I hardly remember it since I was only there a year but it was quite impressive. 
 The apartments I used to live in, Heritage Manor.  Good times!

Because I switched jobs in June, I didn't have much time off and the kids' summer sports, work and church schedules were a little crazy.  In spite of that I am so very glad we took a few days to spend together making memories.  I love our family and the stage we are at right now.  Of course big changes are coming and that is exciting and sad at the same time.  I sure hope we find as many opportunities as we can in the years ahead!
