Memorial Day Weekend

We had such a fun weekend. Paulette, Justin's mom, came to visit and we loved having her here. Our weekend was packed with fun things. First on the list was going to Mesa Falls where we had a picnic lunch and a walk around the falls area. Then we went to Warm River (one of our favorite fishing and camping places) where Justin and Paulette caught a fish each, and I went for a nature walk with Katie strapped into the hiking backpack. Then off to Big Judd's, one of Rexburg's famous restaurants where you can order a one pound burger... We ended the day with ice cream at G's Dairy, our absolute favorite ice cream place.
Sunday, we went to church and then relaxed and chatted.
Monday we made a ginormous breakfast which was absolutely delicious. Gotta love french toast with coconut butter syrup and all the side dishes. Mmmm.... then we headed to Idaho Falls for a quick visit at Mary's then lunch at Johnny Carino's. Katie's little gums were hurting so we gave her a piece of licorice to gnaw on (i don't usually give Katie sweets), and since the licorice was blue she ended up blue too. After lunch, we said goodbye to Paulette as she was heading back that afternoon.
We ended the long weekend with a trip to the Zoo and then smores with friends at Beaver Dick park next to the Henry's Fork River.

Oh, Jill, what a fun and beautiful weekend! How nice to have some company--nothing like a doting grandma for a visit. The last Katie photo ending your slide show reminds me so much of you. Such a pretty baby! Can't wait to see you in a few weeks.
