After our hike last Tuesday, we headed up to Idaho. My sister in law owns a gym, so Wednesday evening she took us after hours to jump and play on the gym equipment. The kids had a great time!
Thursday morning we loaded up for Targhee and Jackson. Once at Targhee, we got the lift/lunch ticket and rode up the mountain. WOW! What a view! We ate our picnic with an incredible view of the Tetons before us. We were so happy that we made this stop!
Susanna had been BEGGING to ride horses on the trip. Everywhere she saw horses she asked if she could ride. SO, at Targhee, the kids rode horses. Targhee had better prices and times than over in Park City.
Susanna with her cousin Blake--one of only two boys out of my parents 16 grandchildren.
Of course we stopped in Jackson since we were so close. The mountains are so beautiful we could hardly get enough. The kids rode the alpine slide there and we walked around the town a little. Greg loves Jackson, but one of the reasons he wanted to go there so badly was because they have a CloudVeil store there and he wanted a new jacket! (which he got)
On Friday we attended the Idaho Falls temple with my sisters, brother and sister in law, and parents. It was great to be together! That evening we were back in Salt Lake.
Playing in the hotel.
Over the weekend, we shopped, swam, and saw many of the sights on Temple Square. Here are the cousins in front of the Beehive House.
My girls loved the visitors centers. Greg and I took a moment to sit while they went around with their cousins pressing all the buttons.
One of the highlights of our trip was going to Music and the Spoken Word on Sunday Morning. I practically get tears in my eyes the MOMENT the MoTab starts to sing. They are truly amazing and it sounded incredible! But as wonderful as the choir is, that is not the only reason this was a highlight. We got there a bit early and got really good seats pretty far up front in the conference center. A few minutes before the broadcast people started standing up--yes, it was President Monson. It was a special treat for the girls to get to see him in person. The Osmonds were performing with the choir that morning and President Monson came to present them a special recognition. We had no idea he would be there but were delighted to see him!
The girls enjoyed the beautiful gardens on Temple Square!
We truly enjoyed our time on Temple Square! The girls enjoyed seeing the sights with their cousins!
We ended our trip with a very enjoyable visit to Greg's long time friends Dave and Karen. They treated us to a wonderful meal and great company on Sunday evening!
We are home now. Apparently it has been over 100 degrees for 11 of the past 12 days. So glad we missed that, however, the heat is still in the forecast. We have to give a big thanks to Mama Leslie and Grandpappy for letting us travel with them! They are always so kind to us and VERY patient with our family. We also want to thank our siblings for letting us stay with them, and/or letting us use their cars during our visit! Thanks so much family--we love you!!

I've loved seeing all the updates from your trip. I could use some mountain-air. All of the colors in your pictures were so vibrant too! Glad you had fun.
The picture on the mountain at Tarhgee is amazing. I have never been there, looks gorgeous! I am so happy for your experience hearing the spoken word. What a special blessing for the whole family.
Angie, your blog is awesome. Great photos, great descriptions. It's so fun to see what the girls and y'all are up to. Thanks for taking time to come see us while you were in Utah. It was great to see you all.
