Rexburg for Adam's Mission Farewell

 How much fun, sweetness, and family can you fit into 24 hours? I will tell you: a lot!
Steve, Richard, Zoe, Liam, and I went to Rexburg on Saturday morning. We got there in time to help Dad with some printing. He was printing his Christmas cards. I really loved this. I could certainly get into this if I had access. Liam was really excited about it.
We also got to play a new game with Grandma Sam. It was called Snake Oil and we had some good laughs playing any second we got.
 Next we headed over to Pizza Pie cafe to meet up with Shakespeares and eat some pizza. Also to admire James's extreme cuteness!
 Even more fun? Yes! Swimming at Super 8. I will admit, I never left the hot tub. That pool was freezing! Didn't seem to slow down the kiddos at all.
 Grandma Sam didn't have any ice cream in her freezer!!!! First time ever! So we decided we HAD to go to Millhollow to get some frozen yogurt. Actually, I hadn't eaten any pizza so I got a sandwich instead. Those sandwiches are killer.

 The next morning we got to go over to Nana's home to visit with her. She was so happy to see everyone, though a little confused and overwhelmed. We kept the visit brief then left Steve there to have lunch with her.
 Then we headed over to the meeting house for the farewell meeting. Adam's talk was so great. All about love. He did such a wonderful job. He is quite a well rounded young man.
We went over to Ricks's home after the meeting to eat lunch and visit with Adam a bit before his friends came over.

 I love my family!
 Elisabeth and Daniel...soon to be newlyweds.


6 of 8 siblings represented. Pretty amazing. We miss the Texas Samuelsons and the BamaSams so much!
What an amazing trip! Totally worth the drive!
We love you Ricks's and Elder Adam!!
