Hurricane Epperson Hits Rexburg

We traveled up to the great cold, windy, white north, not Canada, but Rexburg. We stayed with my brother JD and his family. Imagine a home with 10 kids 12 and under! All of our children get along great and had a fun time playing with one another. We managed to trash their home. I can't imagine the cleaning that is taking place after we left! Luke managed to pull a shelf off the wall, nails and all, poop in the bath and ruin all the bath toys, flood the bathroom (a different day thank goodness), get the entire family sick and leave bits of food everywhere. The older kids went sledding twice and came home with no broken bones. To get out of the house and not freeze to death, the only place to go was McDonalds. This is a picture of Lilly Sue (or Sue Sue as we all call her).

Here's Luke and Gunnar playing.
The adults went to Tasha's parents home to ring in the New Year, while the kids stayed home and had a party of their own. They all managed to stay up till midnight. New Years is so over rated. I had fun at the Leishman's home. I learned some interesting things about Tasha's family and I am amazed that her brothers are still alive today! Tasha got a lot of reading done, because JD actually had someone to watch the Rose bowl with. JD is never surprised with my sporting knowledge. We had a great time on the trip and are thankful for the Griffith's putting up with us!
