Mini trip to Idaho

Tanner, Gavin and Mom took a little trip to Idaho with Munga (our Grandma). The most eventful part for Tanner was his experience at the hotel swimming pool. There were some 8th and 9th graders that came on buses on their way home from their trip to Yellowstone and unloaded to stay at the hotel. The first thing they did was get in the pool was packed. When Tanner got in, one of their teachers had whistled to the students to watch out for him and make room for him. Before too long, some of the students asked if he wanted to play volleyball with them and he did. So they served him the ball, and he hit it quite well which I think surprised them. They played for a long time until the students had to go to their hotel rooms. They took pictures of him and the next morning one of the teacher's saw us in the hall and said they were leaving but the kids had been looking for Tanner wanting to play again! It was so cute. We visited Aunt Janet and Uncle Karl and had lunch at their place. It was snowing and really cold! Their had a fire on their property that almost burned their whole place down. The Idaho Falls temple was really beautiful despite all the cold weather and rain. We also visited Aberdeen where my Mom grew up(until she was 17). The best part was seeing her little feet and initials in the cement again. Her Daddy did that when she was a baby when he made the step. She lived at the telephone office(where she is standing) until she was about 12, then moved to the farm until she was about 16, then back into town for a year until they moved to Salt Lake, which broke her little teenage heart. She had a wonderful, memorable childhood and the stories are so fun to hear.
