Every year Mitch's family goes to his dad's boyhood home in St. Anthony, Idaho. I loved how excited he was to go because of all the memories that place holds. Aren't those the best? The places that maybe aren't glamorous or well-known, but they are so special because of the things you've done there and the traditions you have with your family.

 On Saturday, I got to see my family too! My parents were in town dropping Jacob off at BYU-Idaho so we met them to go to the temple but it was closed because well....Pioneer Day! haha! They take it VERY seriously up here. So instead we just met for lunch. It was so good to see them!

Jacob then got to join us that night for the Pioneer Day Rodeo. We had gone to the parade that morning and it was actually pretty fun! Seeing those Jergensen boys get just as excited or more about the candy than the kids was pretty entertaining. This was my second rodeo this summer so I basically feel like a pro now. I can't believe my little brother is old enough to be in college. In my head he's still like 12. But I had a blast hanging out with him.

Isn't he cute?!

Look at these cute cousins hugging. This is the first time Mitch's family has all been together in 2 years and 3 little girls were added to the family! 

 This is the backyard of the house. It is right on the Snake River. Isn't it gorgeous?

 Mitch caught Hudson just taking in the view and then he got a smile out of him. 

I literally could've floated down the river all day, every day and been completely content. Being on the water is my kind of paradise. 

The rest of the weekend we went to Falls Drug and got shakes, we played games (family minute to win it games were hilarious!), Mitch and I beat almost everyone in cornhole, we went to see his Uncle's farm, I met most of his dad's siblings, and we went bridge jumping!
