Goodbye, Rexburg. Hello, Twin Falls!

Here are a few pictures of our last week in Rexburg and our first week in Twin Falls. We are getting settled in to our new apartment and starting to explore a little bit. Gail and Lee made the trip all the way to Idaho to help us with the move, for which we are very grateful. This week Ryan will probably try to make it in to his classroom and get started with planning. Only two weeks until his first day of school!

About a week before leaving Rexburg, there was a beautiful evening sky so I went for a drive with Lyra, windows all rolled down, and stopped to take this picture. One of the things I always loved about Rexburg--the beautiful fields on the skyline.

Of course we spent lots of time at the Rexburg splash park this summer. Lisa asked to go there every day. It pretty much became part of her regular schedule. Lyra got a kick out of it too once I finally bought some swimmy diapers so she could play in the water.

I have seen this canyon numerous times as we drove over it on our way to California. Now we live a two-minute walk away from a paved trail that makes its way along the edge for a short distance. Beautiful sights to enjoy. We can't wait to explore the hiking and fishing spots around Twin Falls.

How to entertain a 10 month old while trying to unpack: put her in the kitchen sink!

Or just give her a broom. She's getting pretty good with sweeping actually!

Our new apartment has a pool and Lisa asks to swim every day. On this day she wanted to curl her hair. Before going swimming. What do you know--I'm so starved for hair styling moments with her that I actually humored her and curled a few strands.
