Day 35 of 365

We headed to Twin Falls today to meet Bryan and the kids, to spend a little time together before he takes them back on Wednesday to Illinois.  Cameron decided he wanted to stay at Grandpa and Grandma's and so we got to spend the afternoon with Rylee, Jordan and Bryan.  We first went to a late lunch at Five Guys which is always delicious.  Rylee and Jordan hadn't been there before and they really liked it.  I guess that will be a new tradition for us.  We went shopping at Walmart to find some school clothes for Jordan.  We then went on a little outing over the Perrine Bridge.  It was a beautiful day.  We walked north on the bridge, then walked underneath and walked back to our vehicle.  I took lots of pictures.  The kids loved it!  I thought Morgan would be scared, but he did really well.  There were sidewalks on both sides so there was no way to fall off; however, it was a little unnerving when we were in the middle of the bridge and with all the traffic going by, it would shake a bit.  It reminded me of going up in the Arch in St Louis.  It definitely was hot - when we got back to the van it said it was 99-100 degrees outside.  We were able to grab some water and drinks for everyone and then I headed home and everyone else headed to Boise.

Everyone looking at the view, getting
ready for our walk (I noticed in this
picture that Morgan is almost as tall
as Carson!)

Walking back, this time we
got Dad to go with us.
