June ended with Zak Redden, one of James's old mission companions, coming over for dinner. His kids played with our with Zak and his wife went to the temple. We then had dinner together. It was a pretty fun time, and it was the first day I felt completely better from that nasty cold.
Monday morning, we dropped Joseph off at the stake center for his bus ride to Provo for FSY. We then continued on to Rexburg with stops at Smith and Edwards and Chick-fil-a.
Tuesday, James, his dad, and the 3 middle kids hiked the wind caves while Melodie and I went to the temple. We had a good day at the house with Samantha and Juliana, then we got pizza from Righteous Slice for dinner. The hikers didn't get back till late.
Wednesday, we celebrated Summerween with the kids and shopped at D.I. in the afternoon. James and I left for our anniversary dinner, a Brazilian place in Idaho Falls called Tche's. It was absolutely delicious, and we had a great time walking around the mall afterward. We stayed in a cheap Moab-themed room in Shelley.
For the 4th, we got up and drove the 10 minutes to Grandpa Lee's concert and breakfast in Firth. It was delicious, as always. We got back to Rexburg just in time for James to take the kids to the parade in Rexburg. Samantha was in Victor for that parade since Grandpa Head was the grand marshal this year. I stayed at the house and organized all the pictures I'd brought back from digitizing at my house. We had dinner with Lars, Emily, and the Lees in Rigby. We then watched fireworks in Rexburg.
Friday was also really busy. We went to Bear World, the Renaissance Faire, and Macbeth in the park.
We drove home on Saturday with no problems and got unpacked. Joseph got home before us and had an uneventful day playing video games.
This week has been busy, but not in the same way. Katie and Lewis have tennis at the high school every day Monday - Thursday from 9:30-10:30. They have loved it so far. I had a presidency meeting, and we attended a ward party last night. I also took Kenny to the dentist for a filling today.
I got my slide scanner, so I scanned all the slides I got from NC. I've also finished cropping, rotating, and organizing them into albums, so I'm sharing them one at a time with my family. It's been so fun to see my dad's old mission pictures as well as some other trips he took in the 80's before I was born. Next up are videos, then photos, then cassette tapes and hopefully more slides when Rex finds his from his mission. I don't know how long all of this will take, but the process of scanning the slides was much easier than I expected. I've now seen over 1,000 pictures of South America, but I'm still nervous to go there in less than 2 weeks. Haha.
