Twin Falls Temple

After we had some time to settle down in ID, we decided to go the the Twin Falls temple open house. It was beautiful and a great opportunity for the kids. They were able to see inside the temple and ask questions, and maybe get a little better understanding. The great thing about the open house is that it is open to everyone, no matter the age or religion.

Twin Fall, ID is a gorgeous town. There are the Shoshone Falls (which we didn't get a chance to see, but we plan on coming back next summer for a camping trip), as well as a gorge that will take you breathe away. As you drive into town, there's this bridge you drive over, and the view of the gorge is just amazing. There is a pedestrian path to walk on the bridge, which against my better judgement we went on. It scared me to death. Even Aleana and Trent were frightened. But Tracy had to get some pictures. They turned out good, but in my opinion, that's what they make postcards for. This is the same bridge that crazy people parachute off of.

Above: View of the Gorge (Snake River) from the bridge - if you look close enough on the right side of the pic, there's a golf course. Pretty cool. Below: View of the stinkin' bridge that we walked on. That was nuts. What was I thinking? The last pic is another of the Gorge, from under the bridge.

Can I just say you are amazing?!?! If we had been thrown into moving, changing schools, finding a new job, like that I would have been freaking out! We probably would have argued all the way there! :) Hopefully someday when I grow up I will be as mature as you are about (I am not going to say trials because it doesn't seem like one for you guys so how about let's say) adventures!
