Happy Anniversary!

Today we are celebrating our 6th Anniversary! We decided to spend the weekend in Idaho. On Saturday we went and did a session in the Idaho Falls Temple. It was nice to spend some time in the temple where we were married in.
Then for the evening of entertainment we spent our time in Fort Hall! You cannot beat a Fort Hall Bingo experience. This was our second time playing. We have never won, but the experience is worth it. It's absolutely hilarious to watch the little old ladies Bingo their nest eggs away. The regulars set up their "spot". They have all their different dopers set out with the Bingo Trolls for good luck. They have their personal fans and big coffee mugs set out in front of them for comfort during the 5 hour Bingo session.
We almost won on 2 different games. We got within one number away. However, it's better that you don't win, because then it doesn't become an addiction. It was a blast!

Fishing

We spent the evening fishing at Deer Creek Reservoir. After 5 hours of trying, this is all Gilbert was able to catch! We almost got rained out, but luckily it was a quick moving storm. The fish was jumping all over the place, but they weren't biting our lures. Thanks Quin for making it exciting with your garlic marsh mellows and nasty power bate.

How many people can you fit on a jet ski?

LAKE POWELL

Lake Powell is the best vacation ever! We spent 4 beautiful days out on Lake Powell. Gilbert isn't much of a water person, so he spent a lot of his time fishing. He engineered a make-shift fishing poll for the kids and they caught at least 10 fish with it. It kept the kids occupied for hours. They even filled up a cooler with water to keep them for a short period of time.


I spent a lot of my time reading and playing cards. I would have loved to go out and ride the Air Head, or ski, but the doctor said that probably wouldn't be a good idea :) I won several card games which was a first for me. Gilbert even won once trying to shoot the moon in Hearts.

It was perfect weather. It rained a little bit every day, but it was still perfect. It wasn't too hot, and the water was 80 degrees. Luckily the nights weren't too hot either. There was one day of a very brief flash rain storm that made water falls down the sides of the rocks. It was absolutely beautiful. There is nothing better than waking up to the sun rising and seeing the water like glass and listening to the fish jump.

Thanks for a fabulous trip!
