: Adventure Edition

Since we're back in our familiar territory of Rexburg ID, 

we have been galavanting all over the area and enjoying some family adventures. 

 First off, we took full advantage of a very cold, rainy day and drove to Mesa Falls.  

It was so fun-- Dallin even got to wear this great fluffy outift!!

       Which, as you can see, he enjoyed so much. :)

But seriously, it was so nice to get out into the wilderness and enjoy the waterfalls! Because of the dreary weather, we were one of the few people there, so we got VIP access to all the 'picture-perfect areas!' Thanks to all the rain, everything was so vibrantly green, and the color was food for the soul.

   And the view was just breathtaking.

We even got a family picture--thanks to a lone couple we ran into.

And a friendly yellow bellied marmot crossed our path as we walked around.  Pretty neat. :)

A couple weeks later, we got to drive down to Logan to see Mom and Emma ride the Little Red Riding Hood Century Ride. Here's mom after 20 miles or so--looking amazing!!

Dallin really got it the spirit, onsie and everything.  He loves his aunt Emma!!

Throughout the day, Dallin, Amy, and I drove along and followed Mom and Emma through their ride.  We had a great time, and they did such an amazing job riding!!  Grandpa joined up with us near the end, which was great because Dallin really needed a cuddle buddy. 

And nobody's arms are as inviting as Grandpa's!

Here they are nearing the finish--they aren't even winded!!

 The weather was just perfect and it turned out to be a great 100-mile biking day!

Next on our list of adventures was introducing Dallin to the wonderful world of water!!  

He has always loved bathtime

(haha, I love this picture--it's like the paparazzi caught him bathing!)

But he wasn't so sure about the splash park...

Nevertheless, we took him to the little pool in Rexburg last week...

It took a little prodding, Aunt Amy, and a trusty-wide-rimmed hat, 

But before we knew it he was crawling everywhere!!

We always knew he'd be a waterbug, just like his Momma!
