Idaho - Monday, 21st

Monday started off with another basketball challenge.

Once again, it was a battle!  Captain American gear was in full force.

Jane, I saw your comments on the other blogs, so let me clarify.  They play to eleven--but you have to win by two.  Each basket is worth one point--unless you shoot beyond the three-point line.  Those baskets are worth two points.  (I hope that helps!)

Ty, I'm sure you're dying to hear how it went!  So here's the rundown.

Game One:  Josh won 13-11.

Game Two:  Dallin won 12-10.

Game Three:  Tied 9-9.

 

Still Game Three:  Tied 11-11.

 

Game Three Final:  Josh wins 13-11.

 

After the games, Josh had to focus on his finals.

But the rest of us headed down to Idaho Falls (or "The Falls," as Dad refers to them)!

We enjoyed lunch at Cafe Rio then headed to Missionary Mall.

The first thing they had Dallin do at the store was write his name on a map by where he will be serving his mission.

Elizabeth was with us for moral support--helping Dallin choose what would be best.

The whole process took about 90 minutes.

Dallin said he was getting a little cranky by the end--having to make so many decisions and spend so much money!

 

 

When we were done, we walked a few stores down to David's Bridal where we got to see Elizabeth at work!  All the employees there went on and on about how much they love Elizabeth!

 

As luck would have it, there was a frozen yogurt store right next to Elizabeth's work!  Just couldn't pass it up.

Then we headed back to Rexburg.  Since both Josh and Elizabeth were working, we went back to the hotel and yep . . . we took a nap.  Aren't vacations wonderful?!

Elizabeth was able to get off work a little early.  So after our nap, we bought a few groceries then met her at Karie Anne's for more Italian ice and custard.  (I think this might be our daily tradition until we leave--so good!)  We brought it back to our hotel to eat while we watched another episode of "The District" for Family Home Evening.  It was a lot of fun, and we had a great discussion after watching.  Elizabeth was able to share some great insights that will benefit Dallin on his mission.

Another great day.  But we sure are missing our loved ones in Mississippi!
