Idaho spuds

Soooo, from Wyoming we continued our journey, into the land of the potato. We drove up to Rexburg, and stayed the night there. Mary wanted to go back and visit RICKS, now BYU Idaho, and we visited her art professor as well. It was fun to go back and see her old haunts and relive past shenanigans. And we got to see the Rexburg temple .
Then we drove to Nampa Idaho, stopping on the way in Twin Falls to gaze at the temple being built there. Very Nice! In Nampa we got to see the Pratts, and Natalie was so happy to finally see Madeline, Aliza, and Rachel (as were we). We had some good times with them and were sad to have to leave. While we were there we went to the Boise temple, and visited the campus of Boise State U. We wanted to check out the possibilities of teaching at the art program there. We also went to an interesting walk-around-park with an inspirational message. And Jen cooked up some Cafe Rio chicken for burritos and it was great! Thanks for the laughs, good times, and basketball shoes guys!

Emily and Rachel meet the first time

It was all girlishness; getting hair curled, and nails painted and lots of giggling.

The Pratt's cat, Matlock, decided to try out the comfy new bed with Emily while everyone wasn't looking. Both had fallen asleep, warm and cozy.
