A much needed Fall Break

Fisher had a week long fall break (just in time). We spent the first half catching up on projects at home, and then headed to our favorite vacation spot... Rexburg, ID. We decided to talk a small detour on the way and visit "The Spiral Jetty" which is exactly what it sounds like. It was cool - I guess it was worth the hour drive out of way on a very rutted and rocky dirt road. I probably won't go there again though.

We love going to visit my family in Rexburg because it is relaxing. We can just hang out without feeling pressure to go sightseeing. Plus my mom is always very helpful with watching the girls so I can get a few projects done.

My dad likes to plan and go do things. This trip we went and checked out some beautiful river property that my parents just acquired. Curly loved throwing rocks in the water. My dad and Fisher also spent an afternoon fishing. That was actually the purpose of our trip - fishing. Fisher's 92 year old (going on 50) grandpa lives in Rigby and they planned a fishing trip with Fisher's dad and siblings. I had my own fun while they were gone. My mom and sister helped me make Curly's sheep costume, or "baaa-sheep" as she likes to call it. I really needed a haircut, but really didn't want to pay for it (and find a babysitter, etc...) and so I let my mom and Amberlee trim my hair - AAAH! Actually they did a pretty good job. I also helped beautiful Amberlee color her hair. It sounds like all we did is work, don't be fooled. We also ate out a few times, played games, and I got to read a novel.

It was a nice vacation, with one hitch. Curly decided that she wouldn't sleep at night, ANY night. She would usually wake up and get up between midnight and two a.m. and then stay up for four hours before we could finally settle her back down to sleep for a couple hours. It was exhausting and we are still catching up!!
