Idaho 2017 Day Eight

Our last day started out with packing up all of our things in the cabin while the kids played. During lunchtime the day before, the girls and I finally made our fourth of July wands. Only three days late. That's not too bad. The three big girls needed minimal help while Ruby could careless about making one. Clara was more than happy to make another one for Ruby.


The girls had so much fun playing with them.


Thank you Pinterest for the idea!


The two little ones powered down for a little bit.

After saying our goodbyes at Chris and Annie's house, we made our way east to Wyoming. We wanted to visit where our great-great grandpas were buried in Star Valley.


I love the bright yellow canola fields!


From the car, I saw a tall building with a spire and we drove around to figure out what it was. It ended up being the Star Valley Tabernacle!


Our next stop was the Star Valley Temple. After living in Utah for so long, it was surprising to see such a cute little temple. As I was taking pictures of it, someone from Sacramento stopped by to look at the temple.


The next stop was the Afton Cemetery to see where Anson Vasco Call II is buried along with many of his family members.



Next we went to the Fairview Cemetery to see my great-great-great grandpa Aaron Nebeker and my great-great-great uncle Carl Nebeker.


As we were taking pictures, Jonathan's phone finally succumbed to all the water it went through the day before and died. We did not bury it in the cemetery though. Thankfully all the photos automatically backed up to Google!



We ended up spending a few hours in the area, so we decided to go to the drive-in for dinner.

The Red Barron in Afton is delicious!
On the drive home, we were convinced that the wildlife were out to get us! A hawk barely missed the front of our car and a rather large deer dashed in front of us only a few miles later. For all the driving Jonathan has done over the years, he's never had a deer cross the road in front of him. Thankfully, he was able to react quickly and slow down before anything happened. We were also treated to a lovely thunderstorm in northern Utah.


And that was day eight.
