So What I really wanted to talk about, before I found all those other fun things to mention, was our trip to idaho!
To start of, Twin Falls is 3 1/2 hours away not 2 or maybe 2 1/2 hours away. When you're driving long distances and you think you're almost there and you see a sign that says you've got 108 more miles to go... well, you get really tired of driving really quick.
Well, we made it to Twin Falls and visted Nat and Kate (Nate and kat) and thier kids Titus and Kylie. They are such a sweet family. And we had so much fun. Chris even got to weed a little bit! We enjoyed an awesome view and walk around the Falls, played some BurnOut, and then we found a new love of Sonic's CreamSlushes. Yum!
We also got the chance to record a "Steer" radio commercial for my brother Nate's radio staion. Chris did the best job, and her voice is one the Twin Falls radio now, wooing all who hear it.
We headed out to Boise to visit Robin and her Aunt Margie. I had no idea how empty and plain central Idaho was... wow, I'm glad I had some Comedians to listen too, because I would have fallen asleep.
Well, we visited Robin first and I made the mistake of letting Chris hold one of thier new puppies. Needless to say, we now are the owners of two sweet little puppies (if any one wants them, please speak up). I'm being a little dishonest. I actually liked the puppies too, thats why I said it was okay to take them home. Now, with poop on the floor, I'm quickly losing patience. They're like babies... they need constant attention and food... but at least babies have diapers that you can hand to your wife to take care off ;)
Robin then made us some lasagna and continues to impress with her food, it was even healthy stuff. And her kids are just awesome! Total flirts and total gentlemen. And we got to go spulunking in this cool cave! Then we went and stayed at Aunt Margie's house. What a beautiful place, with a beautiful view. We loved that house. And our experience there reminded us that life can throw some unexpected curves. Thier house burned down the night after we left home for Salt Lake. I couldn't believe it, had we left some kinda curse there? We had been talking about how much we wanted to come back and visit again and stay longer when we get news that the house is gone. Oh John and Margie. Thanks for the pancakes and they wonderful company. We'll never forget your hospitality, If there is anything we can do to help, just call us.
We went back and forth between house the rest of the trip, we just couldn't get enough of everybody. And we're sorry we couldn't stay longer. And i didn't know this, but this was the first time Chris had been to Idaho! Well, here I go knocking more of her life-long dreams off her list ;)

the house burned down?! that is sad!
i love idaho! both my parents are from there!
sounds like you had lots of fun!
I am reading Russ your blog while he is doing dishes. We laughed and laughed about the jello and all your adventures. Russ wants to know, "How long after you left did it take for Aunt Margie's house to burn down? Make sure Chris reads this question and tells us how long it took for Aunt Margies house to burn down." He also wants to know "How long your whole stay was at Aunt Margies house. Make sure Chris reads and answers this. It's very important and Russ needs to know."
P.S. Russ also wanted to know if you have ever tried calling her "Marge." He says, "You could just say,'Hey Marge,' as you were driving away, and it would be kinda like the Simpsons."
