Banbury Hot springs -Durrant's go swimming

On Wednesday we went with my parents to Twin Falls.
We checked out a fun toy store while cars got oil changes but then we and my uncle Evan and kids all went to the Hot springs.  Picnic first and then more warm fun. My uncle bravely risked his phone to get a few pictures.

The kids had so much fun and Eli really decided he loved uncle Evan  (which Uncle evan thought was pretty awesome). Both boys practiced swimming.

It was very fun and I look forward to the Durrant reunion there this summer!

Spring break-Idaho City

We usually go to Sun Valley each spring, and well, we adore it! However this year the conference in Sun valley is not until the 16th of April, Way to close to my due date for us to attend, so sadly we are not going this year.
However, we did plan a quick vacation during spring break as a family. A last hurrah for the 4 of us. We loved it!
My amazing man planned the trip (thank you honey!)
We started the trip with a trip to the hot springs, wow it is classy, it loved it! very nice and spa like, with poolside service and beautiful facilities. (for those interested it will note that its is kinda pricey and only some days and are family/kids days)

After that we had a picnic (yummy) and then we went out exploring. Several hikes and a nice drive.

We stayed at a quaint little place in historic downtown, it was a historic building originally a logging boarding house. The Lady that checked us in , I believe is also the owner but she was very good about answering our questions about the history of the building and the town itself.
We explored some of the historic parts of downtown that afternoon (including ice cream) and then we went to dinner.
We played games in our hotel room and relaxed until close to dark and then went back tot eh hot springs!
That night we swam under the stars the moon was so bright it was perfect, and then very fast a storm with thunder and lighting the whole thing showed up really fast so we left a bit earlier then we would have otherwise, but they gave us free hot chocolate with was lovely and we all felt very relaxed!
The next morning we took our time and stopped to hike a bit more on our way home.
We stopped in Boise on the way and saw a movie with the kids and got some lunch.
We made our way home in good time.
Thank you honey for such a wonderful vacation!

Utah Trip- day two

Day two started off with a trip to my dear cousin Katie's art exhibit in Provo, it was wonderful and very inspiring I truly enjoyed it and left uplifted.

After that we made our way to a lovely little shopping complex area in Jordan it was a mill originally. Very cool. We had lunch and then explored the area for the afternoon.

Later we had dinner and stayed at the Hill's house.
