Here we are ready for our trip!! Hannah and I took 5 days and made a road trip to Rexburg, Idaho for Chelsie's wedding. We had a great time together and wanted to share a few of our adventures with our fellow bloggers!! Now for my disclaimer: I was born and raised most of my life in Idaho. I love Idaho. Some of my favorite people (Maudie and Rick and family) live in Idaho. This blog is in no way or means meant to be derogatory towards Idaho. With that said here are some of the fun things we saw on our trip.
Idaho has some of the best rest areas around!! This one out side of Blackfoot was one of our favorites. It just looks cool and was full of all kinds of info about Idaho. We wanted to hike around the outside where there are trails and lava beds but as you can see it was pouring down rain this particular afternoon. Idaho only gets about 9 inches of rainfall a year and I think it all fell on this afternoon.
Idaho must have 5 or 6 different lisence plates!! This is the standard one but you can also get one with a fish or a blue bird or the capitol building or an elk just to name a few.
This lovely Idaho Potato sign greeted us in Blackfoot. Unfortunately we were too busy to actually stop in at the rabie clinic. What exactly goes on in a rabie clinic is still a mystery to us.
This is the sign that picqued our interest and brought us into Rigby population 3,000 to see the actual home of TV.
We drove through Rigby twice and finally located the TV and Pioneer museum. We did not pay the $2 to go in because we were saving our money for the Potato Museum (more on that fun adventure later!!). Idaho is the actual home of the TV tube thanks to Mr. Farnsworth.
This is Wyatt (there were at least 3 little boys named Wyatt at the reception) and his beautiful and very nice aunt Annie. Notice Wyatt's jeans, plaid shirt, scuffed up cowboy boots and ranchers jacket (I tried to get a picture of the grown men dressed like Wyatt but was unable to get a good one. I am sure a few of them thought I was stalking them.) He was a cutie. And we had lots of fun with Annie, watching her and the young man who was trying to woo her!!
This is a dealership full of very large pickup trucks!! You see these large vehicles in every parking lot and driveway. They like to drive them big in Idaho.
Yes this is exactly what you think it is.... a port-a-potty in the air. We like you were amazed at the sight. It was just hanging there somewhere near Blackfoot, Moreland and Riverside on our way to the stake center. It makes you ask the question "Why?"
Yes this is a giant baked potato!! We spent some lovely time at the Idaho Potato museum in Blackfoot and will blog about that adventure later!! I know you can hardly wait.
Where we stayed in Rexburg (at Kimberly' mom's house, thanks again, it was great!) right across the street lived these animals. They alone were interesting enough until while driving through Blackfoot we came upon...
this horse on top of a building. Let it be known this was not the only horse we found on a building in Blackfoot and the surrounding vacinity. We are not sure why they like large plastic animals or why they put them on their buildings.
If you are looking for adventure you may want to try out this waterpark we found outside of Twin Falls. I am not sure why they thought if they put two slides on the side of a large mound of dirt they thought they would have a waterpark! If that be the case, you could build waterparks all over Idaho for we saw quite a few large mounds of dirt.
And here we are on our way home. (These are my new sunglasses. I am still trying to get use to them. I am afraid I look like an oompa loompa!!) We had a great time and were so glad we went. The wedding was wonderful. Chelsie is my first Laurel to get married and I am so proud of her for doing it the right way. And it was so fun being with Hannah. She is a great road trip partner!! And special thanks to Maudie and Rick for putting up with us for two nights. Their picture should be here amongst the great things about Idaho!! Millie

I just told Bryon and the kids a couple of weeks ago that I wanted a life sized plastic cow for my yard. I am always coveting the one on the S curve on the way into town. Can't you picture one in my back 40? NO feeding, no pooping, no mud...but it looks cool. I need one more than ever now.
