On Tuesday, June 28th we ventured up to Rexburg, ID. We had planned to travel from Boise down to UT and fly out of Salt Lake at the end of our trip. Billy thought it would be fun to reconnect with an old mission companion that lived in Rexburg. He made the plans, but didn’t realize at the time that Rexburg was 4 hrs. out of the way…not at all on the path to Salt lake. We almost cancelled the plans, but knew this opportunity doesn’t come around very often….we are so glad we made the trip to Rexburg. Billy’s companion Willy Twitchell and his wife Rhonda have 5 adorable children. They were so welcoming and Billy and I felt at home the instant we were there. It was as if no time had passed. Willy has a special talent in working with horses. They live on a ranch with about 45 horses that he trains and works with. Willy also teaches animal science classes at BYU-ID. It was a fun filled day. The kids played in the sprinklers, we went to Bear World, had dinner at a park during mutual, had fun traveling around the ranch seeing all the horses, and lots of great conversations. Thanks so much Twitchell Family. We had a great time. We’re hoping for a vacation to CA sometime in the next couple of years to connect again.
Ryan was not afraid of the animals at all.
Ryan had to have an adult with her on almost every ride. Billy was a great daddy who took her and the other kiddos on rides.
Our family! 28 weeks preggo in the picture.
Willy took Ryan for a ride on the horse and she absolutely loved it. She talked about the “black horse” for weeks.
