a long and good day

After completing the first day of my awesome second job my brother David, Lorry (David's wife), Julia ( The Bare Family's old foreign exchange student) and I went to the dance festival parade to kill time while Waiting for Nick Bare ( Lorry's brother) to take us to the ice caves.









In the parade there was a group and dance for each nationality.The parade was pretty small but it didn't stop a good portion of Rexburg coming out to see it. Some of the different groups had children dance with them.

eventually the parade ended and we all headed home. Nick came and we all got into Nick's truck. David and Lorry sat in the truck bed. Julia and I sat in the front. The ride took longer than I expected it too. AS we passed the sand dunes and got closer to the ice caves the road got more bumpy as did the ride in the back for David and Lorry.



We made it to the ice caves all in one piece and as the sun set every one got ready to go to the caves.


I think the ice caves are called the " Darby Ice Caves" . They weren't too difficult to get thorough however due to genetics my legs weren't quite long enough to reach everything I needed to. Thankfully Nick had been through once before and helped me and every one else get through safely. There was lots of slipping, lots of sliding through slopes and low areas. Every one seemed to have a great time despite the wet and cold.












Eventually We all made it out of the Ice cave at the end the sun had set and everything was dark well...other than every one's flash lights or head lamps and the stars. It was really pretty.
My brother and I offered to sit in the back on the truck for what wasn't too bumpy of a ride. Thankfully Nick drove more slowly, enough for David and I to nap on the ride back.



Tiredly every one got of the truck said goodnight and went off thier seperate ways to rest for the night.
