sorry no pictures today, I tried!

So i thought i could plug my card reader for my camera into a computer here in Idaho, but it is not gonna happen that way. Apparently i would need to install something to make it work on someone Else's computer. Anyhow I have great pictures to be seen at a later date, ha ha.

We drove to Boise and spent the night in a Marriott on Friday. It was a great hotel, very impressed. We usually just stop and ask what is the lowest rate they could give us since we are driving through and trying to decide whether to get a hotel or keep on driving. So far so good. We have gotten a great deal the last two trips through. This has been the plan ever since we booked a super 8, and it was filthy and disgusting. Surprisingly the 15 or 20 dollars more is so worth it to seek out a great hotel along the way.

We also decided to adventurous and drive through arco and see craters of the moon instead of staying on the freeway. It was definitely a good choice, the kids liked learning about volcano's. The scenery was definitely better than the stretch of I84 to pocatello.
Anyway we arrived to a yard full of swimsuit clad cousins and aunts and uncles. The kids quickly changed and joined in. I have a sweet video of the dads making waves in the pool and then jumping in them. I think the guys had more fun than the kids.

Cole gave his mission report Sunday, and of course that was awesome. He was an excellent missionary. Wyatt was up from LA , and that was fun to see him. We have a fun time when everyone is together.

Matt flew home to work this week and will be back for the 4Th of July. We are enjoying the sun, and heat. Funny thing is that it is scorching at home this week, and we are here. We spent most of the day in the pool again, can't beat that. My kids are not going to want to leave.
