Malad

Our last stop in Idaho was Malad to visit the Brower family. Annie had already planned to go to a Jimmy Eat World/Third Eye Blind concert with some friends so I tagged along and had a great time. The music brought so back many memories of college and high school and made me wonder how it is possible that so many years have already passed. Annie and I met our freshman year of college which was already 17 years ago. She is and always will be my bosom friend.

Cody built a foundry a few years ago so he could melt aluminum. They took us out to a friend's field where we melted the aluminum and then poured it into anthills. They have done it many times before but this was the first time Jesse and I got to. It was fun digging them out. They were each different and we never knew if they were going to be big or small, shallow or deep, etc. It was a fun day with some of my favorite people.

We also took the kids to this reservoir where they were able to kayak and swim. Gage even did some fishing and caught a fish.

As a last big hurrah, Annie dyed Cambria and Addie's hair. Annie bought them thinking they were both temporary but it turned out that Addie's was permanent. She looked so cute but it was so dark. Cambria loved her bright red, mermaid hair.
