Twin Falls Idaho

We spent a weekend up in Twin Falls with my family after Mark's family reunion in Utah.  It was nice to visit with Susanna and her family and my Mom came out with Katie, Cade and Cameron. We got there Friday night and headed over to the community college there to see Lisa's end of theatre camp production.  She is becoming quite the performer.  For their short (but it didn't seem that short) play they provided (many) methods on how to survive a zombie attack. I know some people really like zombies but I have never gotten it.  Around method 8 (of 12) Lydia who was sitting with Mark said,rather loudly "No more zombies!" It was kind of funny and the people around us got a good laugh.  It was fun to see Lisa doing her thing and to attend a theatre event as it is a big part of their lives in Twin Falls. We went out to dinner downtown after that and Jared and I spent most of the time outside as he was super sensitive ( a sadly reoccurring theme that weekend) and just needed some alone time.  It was a nice evening outside and I am much more familiar with the downtown area of Twin Falls now.

The next day we went over to a new park there and had a picnic.  We hadn't been to a park in awhile and this park was super fun.  The park was so interactive and really different than many other parks. It was great.

Saturday night we went fishing.  We didn't catch anything which was a bummer but it was nice to be out on the lake.

This umbrella made me smile.  When Susanna and I were little we each had one. One was pink and one might have been this color.  I am pretty sure this is not one of them but it was fun to see it.

Susanna asked Lydia if she wanted to touch the worm and Lydia surprised Mark with her death like grip on it. She and Jared have worms from our yard as "pets" often so I wasn't too surprised she was fine touching it.

When we go back from fishing we had a glow stick party. A few weeks ago Lydia was sad because she did not get a glow stick when she and Jared went to bed. I was talking to my Mom at the time and she promised Lydia and Jared we would have a glow stick party when we met up in Idaho. So we popped some popcorn, got the glow sticks ready and danced around in the dark with the glow sticks. It was probably my favorite thing we did in Idaho.  Lydia and Jared's favorite part of Twin Falls was playing with Lyra and Lisa.  They both loved using their dress up clothes. Since Susanna and Ryan are involved in lots of theatre productions they have lots of costume pieces. Susanna put together a super cool pirate costume for Jared and he was thrilled.  He had told me earlier in the trip that he missed his pirate costume. I love how he is making his finger a hook.
