Rexburg Trip

On Sunday Katie, Kyle, Joseph, me and Lilly drove to Rexburg. We drove my minivan and still gas was horribly expensive and it seem liked the gas was just not getting us very far. That was frustrating.

We went to Rexburg to drop off Kyle to EFY. Katie had found out that when they registered Kyle, it for some reason didn't go through. They were very worried that he would not get in to the program but decided that maybe by begging they would find a way to accept him.

We stayed the night at the Womacks house(Katie's in-laws from her previous marriage) because that was where Joseph was going to stay for the week. It was nice there and luckily her mother-in-law knew a lady that worked at BYU Idaho and told us the perfect time to go and beg.



We had lunch toether at a local resturant that Katie used to go to a lot when she went to school there. I would say that the ice cream was better than the sandwich we had. It was also pretty expensive for everything but we had a good time. After lunch we took Kyle to the school and didn't heven have to do any begging for him to get in to EFY. Within 45 min we were off to drop Kyle off at the room he would be staying for the week. It worked out great.



After dropping off Kyle we went to the DI there. The last time Katie had been there she said it was the best because all the college students had just finished the semester and got rid of a lot of very nice clothing. We tryed on a lot of clothes. Lilly even found something for herself. She just had to get a new dress. So we took a tryed on some clothes and took a picture together. We were not able to get much clothing but it was fun trying them on any way.




Katie had purchase a hotel room for Monday night and it was a little scary. We went soaking in the gross hot tub that wasn't even hot. We hung out for a little while in there because Lilly just had to play in the water. The hot tube was in this enclosed area where their work out room was located. We were out telling stories and talking when it began to get dark and all of a sudden Katie had a feeling that we should get out of the hot tube and back to our room. We were just two ladies and a little girl and this hotel was extremely creepy. We practically ran back to our room. It was scary thinking of some crazy person thinking up bad things and us being vulnerable to about anything out there.

When we got back to the room I had to go to the lobby to get some extra towels because we had used them all for swimming. I ran as fast as I could down the hallway and to the lobby. I was really freaked out. After getting into our pj's we said a prayer together and for the rest of the night we were able to relax a little. We painted our nails and applied some moisterizing masks. Lilly had to be envolved in it too so we put the mask stuff on her.

I think Lilly felt pretty special having all this attention and not having to share it with any other kids. When it was time to go home she didn't want to leave.



This is the hotel room we stayed in. It wasn't horrible in here but the outside was definitely not kept up very well.



This is the out side where the pool was. A cat roamed around the grounds too.

Well it was not the nicest place but when it comes down to things it was a cheap room that we were able to hang out and do some fun girl things and get a good nights sleep. At least this place had a continental breakfast. We grabbed as much stuff as we could to last us the drive home. It was totally worth it to have an enjoyable trip with my daughter and my good friend and sister, Katie.
