We just went on a trip to Utah and Idaho to see family, Caitlin's graduation, visit graves in Idaho, go to a wedding and a baby blessing!
It was the first time I had been to the graves in Idaho. It was nice to be in the Bear Lake Valley and see where my ancestors lived. There isn't much. But I could feel like there were lots of people there before me. Like it was busier back then. I really like going to places, like Europe or an older temple, and thinking about how people used to be there. Like at the Coliseum in Rome, we had a tour guide tell us stories about it for 2 hours and we were standing right there! In the same place they had been. The exact same place. So it was fun to be in Idaho and see the Bird Farm and see how far the distance is between each town (Leah's parents were in the next town over from where Homer's parents were, so I bet she traveled between there a lot.)
We love being around family. We try to see everyone as often as we can, and every trip we wish we lived closer. Spencer and Amberly tried to talk us into buying the house next door to them. We told them no problem if they could get rid of the snow. Like, forever get rid of it. And that's just not going to happen.
