So, we ended up at the Rexburg Nature Park. No friends. No in-laws. Just us. And you know what? We had a fantabulous time together as a family!
Here's a documentary of the things we saw that afternoon:
We saw eight turtles. They were from four to seven inches in diameter. Ryan didn't see the "No harassing the Animals" sign and taught our sons how to throw rocks into the water so they could watch the turtles swim instead of sun-bathe on the logs. What a cool dad! 
Once Ryan found these, everyone and their dog had to look. But, we found them first (at least out of the dozen people there enjoying the sunshine!) Tanner wanted to take them home and color them for the Easter Bunny.
And for dinner? We {love} the Backyard. It's so tasty!!! Forget McDonalds and TacoBell. This place rocks!!! And if you're not on a budget, they have yummy custards. I don't even want to talk about calories. But, they make it all fresh, does that count??? I'm pretty sure they even had to slaughter the pig that night because we waited for at least 17 minutes. It was worth it! 
I practically licked the checkered tissue paper after eating my gourmet hot dog...it was that good! (And their fries are to die for. If you can't stomach the thought of a hot dog, at least get their fries!)
***Um. oops!***And we ended the day on a good note, watching the Chronicles of Narnia, eating popcorn and topping that off with a small bowl of ice cream. And yes, it was only one-an-a-half scoops (2 servings, mind you!) THIS SO DID NOT HAPPEN ON SATURDAY!!! WE DID THIS GREEN PART ON SUNDAY!!! ON SATURDAY, I WAS AT THE BONNEVILLE COUNTY JR. MISS EVENT!!! MORE ON THAT LATER!!! :) I can't believe I did that! I was reading through this post, and was like, "No, I SWEAR we watched that movie on Sunday!" LOL! And just in case you're all wondering? Yes, this is my new haircut, No, I'm not watching my weight (though I should be) and No, I'm not pregnant. Ryan keeps asking me, because I crave hot dogs when WE'RE expecting...I just think these ones taste really, really, really good!

Love the hair, love hot dogs (I don't know why), and where did you get that font?
Love the hair - not sure about the hot dog. But if I was closer I would for sure give it a try!
I love the captions you put on your pictures. (which are awesome just by themselves)
You are so creative! You have a real talent for capturing these moments...with pictures and now, words!
Oh fun! I've never been to ANY of those places! I love to find new places right here in my own backyard. And speaking of that, I think I need a date to the Backyard. YUMMO! And your hair is super cute. I saw just a tiny glimpse of it at church. Why can't I look cute with a fun, fresh do?
So fun, Deanna! I LOVE your haircut! so cute! Marci is a master, is she not? Speaking of which, she commented on my last blog post, and you should be able to follow the link to her blog! We'll have to pressure her into posting more!! :) LOL! -- So I'm so glad that you saw turtles at the Nature Park! I was there one day, all my myself and thought I saw several swimming in the water, but I could never be sure! - So nice to know I'm not nuts!!! :) Do you have my email address? Or my phone number? I don't have either of yours and I have no way of getting a hold of you - and I'd like to! We need to get together - I haven't seen you guys in forever!

your hair looks so cute!! i love it. i have to be in the mood for a hot dog, but when i am i heart the costco ones, so i'm sure these that you posted about would put it to shame. what a fun day in the park though, i love all the fun things you found
Deanna, your blog is so cute and it's fun to see what you are up to. It's especially fun to see pics of eastern Idaho and the Backyard! That place opened right before we left. Wish we could have enjoyed it more. Your hair looks really cute.
