Idaho Falls- wedding

This past weekend we went up to Idaho Falls to attend my cousin Mike's wedding. Jason couldn't take that Saturday off work so we drove up with my family, we were just gone overnight so it was a quick trip.
I didn't have any new toys to give Claire in the car so I quickly grabbed this Magna Doodle that I had bought at last years christmas sales in hopes of giving it to her this year. She LOVED it! (notice she's holding the pen with her left hand still)


We made it to Idaho Falls, it was too early to check in to our hotel so we went to my Aunt Cheryl's hotel to get ready for the wedding- they had a beautiful view of the Temple, and a nice big balcony to go out and enjoy itThey had a tv above their bath tub, Jason would be in heaven so I had to take a picture for him. I honestly think this would be a dream for him! Claire is enjoying some nice cold water waiting for the wedding to begin while sitting in the hot sun.

Brenna was taking pictures as always, so I took this one of her.

They are married! Such a cute couple- Mike and Emily, Congrats! Gabriel, Abby and Brenna during the reception

Their adorable wedding cake- loved her colors, pink and brown!

The happy couple- check out those cute shoes!

Abby and Jeremy hanging out in front of our hotel- Abby went and got her booster seat from the car so she'd be more comfortable.
That night we went to dinner at Applebees then walked back over to our hotel to do some swimming at 8:30 at night. Needless to say everyone got to bed a little later than usual that night.


The next morning we drove over to the Temple and went walking around and took lots of pictures. It was a nice day, warm but there was a nice breeze blowing.
Claire found stairs that were just the right size for her little legs to go up and down. She was very very sad when we had to leave.
We then walked over to the Falls and to see the ducks.Cute kids watching the ducks and goose on the other side of the fence.
Claire did learn how to say "ducky" on this tripThis was the big Goose that Claire was trying to chase

Snake River-- look at all the different currents in the water
Claire didn't sleep too well then night before so as we were drivng the 30 minutes up to Rexburg she fell asleep but not without pulling her rubberband out of her hair first. Silly hair!
Rexburg Temple, so pretty and bigger than I thought. I know I have lots of these pictures, but these girls are so cute and so nice to wait and walk with Claire.
Finally headed for home after stopping in Tremonton to visit some friends... we hit lots of traffic. We were laughing at this speed sign which was obviously wrong as no one was really moving when I took this picture.
Abby and Brenna got to trade off sitting next to Claire. Eveytime Brenna came in our car she and Claire fell asleep. But when Abby was in our car for all the traffic she kept Claire well entertained and I am so grateful for it because that could have been a really long time with a sad child in the back seat.
