So off we headed to Rexburg for Vard's graduation. The kids had it declared the "best vacation ever" before we ever got to our first destination. We saw a semi in a big ball of flames, an Oscar Meyer Weiner truck followed by a truck that looked liked a peanut, then about Burley we hit a lightning storm with rain and wind and then these rainbows amidst the windmills. It really was beautiful.
We packed as much fun as is humanly possible into the next day. Started out swimming at the hotel (with a little bathroom excitement for James when both Rex and Lyle needed to go at the same time and I wasn't there yet), then off to the splash pad at the park, a picnic, and a ride on the carousel---a big hit.
Up next was the sand dunes with Uncle Vard---Wow! Everyone got a few thrills on the sand quads (I thought I might die a few times riding with Vard) and played in the "lake" all afternoon. We had a weenie roast and crashed back at the hotel with the kids watching Bolt. What a day!
The next day was more hotel swimming, DI shopping, a tour of BYU-Idaho campus, and pizza on the grass outside the Spori Building.
Ironically, graduation was going to start way later than we expected so we made Vard throw on his cap and gown for a picture before we hit the road to Santaquin. Congrats Vard!
