Thursday was a beautiful morning in Idaho Falls. I got to the temple early and spent some time outside writing in my journal and then had to hustle a bit for my 8:00 session.
I popped into the loo right before and as I was going into the stall I did a double take and sure enough - Lindsay Edwards. Such a coincidence!
Anyways, it was a v cool old temple with murals and all. I loved it.
I went back and had brekkie with Adi and then we headed up to rexburg. First stop, the temple, obvi.

We did baptisms and then drove about 3 miles down the same street to the site of the new rexburg temple - the Teton River Temple.

It took forever to find parking, but we made it and then we hit a snafu. We had a little misunderstanding so she went on the golf cart tour on her own. I know she’s anxious about graduating and I’m anxious about helping her navigate and it was just a small blip in an overall wonderful week. I often tell my kids I’ve given them the gift of an imperfect mother that will always apologize and always try.

I scored a free swig drink so we got that and then hit the Taco Bus and it was as delicious as I remembered.

Adi found an escape room we thought would be fun, and right next door was a crystal and rock shop that also sells loads of tiaras.

We did manage to complete the room, but we got extra time and several hints.

I’m still proud of us. Most of the hints were like half hints because we already had a good idea.

Cosette told us this potato chocolate milk was better than The Creamery’s, so we grabbed one and Adi got an ice cream, then it was back to our hotel for a game night.

Adi put me through the wringer with skipbo! It was fun! At sunset we walked the riverwalk.

The temples right there and so beautiful.

One of the things I love about blogging is reliving life and I really loved this special week with Adi. Tough times and all.
