sometimes you just really need to get out of Rexburg.

So we head to Idaho Falls. Ashley wanted to look at pet turtle prices and the nearest petstore was IF. It turned into an excursion for all of us! And what a needed excursion it was. Don't get me wrong, we all love Rexburg, but it gets really easy to feel trapped here sometimes.

 Our turtle friend Poops comes everywhere with us. Look for his facebook debut.

 We spent some quality time in the IF mall playing with the kiddie toys

 Being a playa in Bath and Body Works

Getting special customer treatment from my cousin Jessie since she was at work. :) We smelled like Bath and Body for the rest of the night.

We also hunkered down in the Barnes and Noble examining classic novels for a while, stopped at a cute farmers market held in the parking lot, ate a bunch of samples of cheese, caramel apples, fudge, etc. and went to the PetSmart where we were disappointed to find out that we weren't allowed to hold the kitties. :(

We are so thankful to Ashley for her transportation abilities so that sometimes we can have a break from the windy city!
