Fun Weekend in Rexburg

 This past weekend we drove up to Rexburg, ID to visit Ben's brother's family for the blessing of their little baby William. The girls were really good on the 4 and a half hour drive there. Of course right when we got there we had to get a picture of the two babies together! Alice is 4 months and William is 2 months. They are both small for their ages. You can definitely tell they are related!

Saturday evening, Adam and Kylie showed us the orchard on the campus of BYU-I, where we went apple picking! First of all, I think it is AWESOME that the BYU-I campus has a beautiful orchard/gardens right on campus and that students can pick their own produce and pay minimal $ for it! Second of all, it was a perfect Fall evening for such a fun Fall activity! Thanks Adam and Kylie! That was fun! 

Poor Alice is usually sleeping when we take these "Family Photo" ops.

There were over 100 different varieties of apples!

Apple Tasting

You could see the Rexburg Temple from the orchard!

Merrilee loved tasting the apples

Alice woke up! We forgot her hat in the car, so a burp cloth had to become a little bonnet for this chilly evening

Sunday morning before church, Adam showed us around campus.  We found a nice spot to eat lunch on campus and as we were getting set up, a squirrel kept on following me! It came right up to me and would have walked over my shoe if I wouldn't have moved it! It also walked right UNDER Adam's foot! It was a funny squirrel and made lunch exciting. After lunch, we went to Adam and Kylie's ward for William's blessing.  It was very lovely. Right after the blessing, I had to go walk the halls with Alice for the rest of the meeting because she just wasn't going to sit through church. Of course she had to fall asleep right before it was time for family photos! :)

After church, Adam and Kylie had everyone over to their place for a luncheon. Alice woke up for that and we were able to get a few pics of the girls together in their cute Sunday dresses!

Merrilee loves giving Alice loves! :)

After the luncheon, we headed back home.  The girls again, did great in the car! What a fun weekend! 

On another note, tomorrow is a big day...Ben starts his new job and Alice has another MRI!
