I headed up to Boise for Labor Day weekend again this year. After cheering the Cougs on to their first victory of the season, I slept for a few hours and then hopped in my car and headed to Twin Falls. Here I am road trippin' solo:
I did a quick session at this beautiful temple (got to cross another temple off my list...yippee!), and then Kara and Ryan met me there for lunch.
I watched Iz while Kara and Ryan did a session. We headed over the mall and had a grand time! He loved this Big Bird airplane ride and we even saw Elmo which made his day!
Then I drove around for a while hoping Iz would fall asleep, but no such luck. So we headed back to the temple and played there until Kara and Ryan were done.
From the temple we headed to our campsite just outside of Hagerman, ID. It was right along the Snake River and very lovely! I love camping so much! We roasted hotdogs for dinner and went swimming in the resort pool.

| Love camping with kids because their faces are dirty within 20 seconds! |
 |
| There were waterfalls everywhere...so beautiful! |
 |
| We could not keep Iz away from this swing. He would throw a fit anytime we made him come back to camp. |
 |
| This picture makes me laugh so much! Mug shot! Ha! |

| This was taken 2 seconds later. |
Then we headed back to camp and got in our warm clothes and cooked s'mores.
Isaac would have nothing to do with going to sleep in the tent. He kept crying and saying, "Car!" over and over again. Poor kid just doesn't understand the whole camping thing yet. He just wanted to go home and get in his comfy crib. Kara sat with him in the car and he fall asleep in no time. Here is us with the morning crusties:

| Love waking up in a tent! |
We ate a quick breakfast and then got on the road up to Boise.
On the way home we stopped to see the Hagerman Horse. This is an ancient fossil skeleton of a horse-like creature that was found in this area. I love that when people say the Book of Mormon can't be true because it talks about horses and no horses existed here before the Europeans came, I can just say, "Boom! Hagerman Horse!". I'm positive those skeletal remains were once Moroni's noble steed!
We just chilled the rest of the weekend and watched lots of college football. Isaac is a basketball champion. We played a lot of sk'ball, as he calls it. Love this kid!

| Beautiful sunset on Sunday night. |
On Monday morning, I went for a run while Kara and Isaac joined me on the bike, and then we got ready and headed downtown. I attempted to take family pictures, but the kid wasn't really interested. This one turned out pretty dang cute though!
We grabbed some lunch downtown and then I headed out on my journey back home. It was a great weekend! Thanks to Kara and Ryan for hosting me and to Iz for all his kisses and loves! Such a sweet boy! Wish I lived next door!
