Idaho Trip, Day 9, Saturday

We went to Yellowstone Park to day

Photos on the way to the park

The animals we saw in the park. We would have traded 50 buffalo for 1 moose. Lots and lots of buffalo.

The Park is very pretty to see. It brings back many memories.

This is the inn keeper at "Gaye and Roger's B&B". I think she was working or our bill for staying there. Some places leave a little candy on the bed, but here we get a whole "Idaho Spud". Thank you Gaye for everthing.

Trip for Staisha’s Graduation, Day 8

We had another graduate. Briana graduated from kindergarten.
She had two parts on the program.
She had the letters A & Z in the program.
Briana with the letter "Z"

This is what is used for entertainment in Rexburg, “Cow Pie Bingo”. You lay a field out in square, number each square, and then people buy each square. They turn a cow loose into the field and the person that has the square number where the cow drops the “pie” wins.

Trip for Staisha’s Graduation, Day 7


This is what a graduate looks like the day after the big party.

We stopped in to where Darla works to get some picture of the professional women of Rexburg.

The Blanchard party was held at the Sugar City Park. There were 11 of the 15 family member at the party.

We had some party crashers (they were a welcome addition). We felt they represented Bonnie and Bob. So we had representation from every family.

Trip for Staisha’s Graduation, Day 6

Briana’s cat had 4 kittens Sunday and Briana is the kittens sitter. While Nina & Michele went shopping Briana and I went to McDonalds for lunch and then we went golfing.

This was Briana’s first time golfing and she did great.

Today Staisha Graduates for High School. Congratulations to Staisha.

St Anthony High School Class of 2009 Graduation

Staisha is no longer a High School student. On to “Ricks” oh yea that’s BYUI now.


I guess my family has not been trained how to pose for pictures. But, I love them all.

Trip for Staisha’s Graduation, Day 5

We went to Bear World today. Michele, Staisha & Briana came with us. We all had a lot of fun. It was hard to pull Briana away from the rides. The rides were free (after the large “Entrance” charge) so she could in theory stay and ride forever.

The beginning

The BEARS

The petting zoo.

The rides.

We had dinner with Susan & Randy but we forgot to take any pictures. Who thought that could happen.

Trip for Staisha's Graduation, Day 2

We traveled to Rexburg today.

We had lunch at the Cracker Barrel. Nina just loves this place. I think it’s because there are nick-nacks to shop for.

Then barns, barns and more barns.

We went to the Rumsy Snow Shack in Rexburg and met up with Michele, Briana and Lyle.

We are now staying at the "Gay & Roger Orr B&B"

Trip for Staisha's Graduation, Day 1

We are an our way to Rexburg for Staisha's graduation from High School. We made it to Coeur d'Alene Friday night. The traffic was terrible. It took 1 1/2 hours to go 12 miles. There was a roll over accident on the freeway.


You can see the accident above.

Lots of toys going down the road.

It was a pretty day.

And there were barns, barns and more barns.
