Last Minute Trip

We decided, (very last minute) to drive down and catch the last day of the Twin Falls Temple open house. We left Friday night and drove to my Sister's Husband's Family Cabin in the back country near Burley, ID. On Saturday we drove up to Twin Falls in the morning and got to see the inside of this beautiful Temple. The kids were really excited, since this is a rare opportunity for most young people. It was really nice and we even bumped into 3 groups of friends and ward members while we were on the tour. Such a small world.
After we got back from the Open House we drove down the road a short distance from the Cabin and swam at Durfee Hot Springs. There are actually 3 pools, One 100+ degree pool and one 90+ degree pool and a kiddie pool. It's not very impressive at first sight when you drive up, but once you get in and soak for a minute it's really nice. Those aches and pains just disappear. The kids of course only care about who wins at a game of Marco Pollo. It was nice water with no smell of Sulfur and your eyes don't burn with Chlorine. It's just a natural Hot Spring that they pump into the pools. We will definitely go back if we get the opportunity to.

Today is Dave's Birthday and we are about to leave for the yearly Chinese Food Buffet. That's become a family tradition for Dave's Birthday meal. The kids can't stop talking about trying Sushi this year. We will be rolling through the door in a couple of hours.
