Brooke Gets Baptized.

We were able to be in Pocatello over the weekend to witness another grandchild's baptism.  Janelle's youngest, Brooke was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and received the Holy Ghost.  It was great to be together with a few of our kids.   Shauna and Brian came up from Logan and Zach was there with his family.  This makes a total of three (granddaughters) baptisms for the year.  Ashlyn (Shauna's oldest was baptized in February) and Makayla (Zach's oldest) was baptized in July.  It was great to see our kids, but had to head back through some bad storms.  We wish our kids didn't live so far away.  We teased that we were Santa's sleigh bringing gifts, we ended up taking home as many gifts as we came with. We also visited Bob's parents for a few days and spent some good time with them.

Labor Day Trip

Since it was a 3-day weekend and we had a little free time, we decided we would do something we haven't normally done. We went for a road trip. So on Saturday we headed up to Couer d'Alene and took a boat ride around the lake.  We spent the night there and enjoyed the scenery and relaxation being away from home.

Sadly, about 30 minutes into the trip we realized we had forgotten the camera. That seems to happen every good trip we take. So we didn't get any pictures of the things we saw, but you can just imagine.

An interesting part of our trip was visiting Hayden, Idaho. There are definitely some interesting people in that part of the country. Bob also got to see where Silverwood was and a few other things he hasn't seen since we never seem to get out much.

We came back home through the Palouse, the bustling metropolitan areas of Moscow, Idaho and Pullman, Idaho. By Sunday afternoon we were back home and back to the daily grind of everything. It was great to get away.
