We took a little trip over to Idaho Falls this week to do some shopping and to go to the temple. While we were there we stopped in to DI (a 2nd hand store) which always has some interesting bargains! Max had a great time looking over the toys and was happy that he was not being told to not touch or put it back, etc. Grandma let him try this mask on and I think it is a baseball umpire mask - although I am not 100%. Anyway Max looked rediculously cute - so I had to take a quick picture.As far as bargains go I was able to find some great clothes for Max for this upcoming year - I think I ended up with 7 pieces for $23 and then I found two Williams & Sonoma cook books for $1 each. I was so excited! I love to find a new cook book - especially at bargain prices. I have never been to the Idaho Falls Temple so I was happy to go and do some work on my spiritual self. This is an older temple but still very beautiful. Quite different from the Washington DC temple but, the same wonderful spirit resides as it is the House of the Lord. The fall flowers were beautiful. I love fall .... I think it very well may be my favorite time of the year. We spent the night at a local hotel which thankfully had an indoor pool. Max and Grandpa had a great time splashing in the pool while mom and I did more shopping. I considered this a quick trip to the "big" city ... which from Thayne, Wyoming perspective - Idaho Falls is like going in to DC! All in the eye of the beholders perspective!
Talk to Mark again this morning. He has been terribly, terribly sick. Fever and stomach flu have plagued him for the past 4 days. I guess this is Afghanistan's little welcoming for him. Apparently most people go through this after they get there. He is more than ready to be done with the fever and running to toilet!
