Parma Motor Vu Drive In

One of my favorite things to do in the summer is go, at least once, to a movie at the drive-in. (My brother and sister and I all remember being traumatized by seeing "Soilent Green" at the Motor View in Idaho Falls as kids.) My parents would pop a lot of popcorn, we'd get in our PJs and we were on our way. There was a swing set we could play on before the movie started. We rarely made it to the second movie before falling asleep.

Friday night we invited my sister Linda and her husband John to go see Wall-E with us in Parma. We loaded Dave's truck with chairs, blankets and treats and drove the 40 minutes to get there. As the movie was starting, the full moon came up behind us and the sun was setting in the west in full orange, pink, and purple gloriousness. We tuned the radio to the right station and the previews started. Summer at it's finest!

Twin Falls Temple Open House

Dave, Bryson and I went to the Twin Falls Temple open house last Friday. Today, I went again with a friend who didn't want to go by herself. It is a beautiful temple with a huge mural of the local canyons, plants, waterfalls and animals. The Idaho State flower (Syringa) is featured in the windows, woodwork and other detail work. The whole open house was well organized, with a reception area afterwards, knowledgeable guides and youth who put the booties over our shoes.

After The Fun...

Summer Fun, Dave and Bryson Style

Dave and Bryson went on a motorcycle ride up by Lowman today. In between rusted bearings and a flat tire, they had a beautiful ride. They were attacked by a helicopter doing maneuvers, saw some fellow motorcycle riders and stopped at Kirkham Hotsprings on the way home. After, some cool water river diving and a soak in the hot springs they left for home. (Dave said "the camera" was too slow, so the splash in the water is Bryson diving in...)
