Ethan off to BYU-Idaho!!!

     Well, the day finally came.  Another kid has left home😢😢😢. And it was almost offensive how EXCITED he was about it😉. It hurts this mama heart more than I can express but truth be told...I am REALLY excited for him too.  He's off to find out who he really is and I can't wait to see what he does.

    My dad made the road trip with us.  We took 2 cars and 2 days to drive up to Rexburg and then hung out for a couple days.  

    Before he left, we had to do ONE MORE HOLDING LOLA pic.  This was such a fun impromptu idea I had from a baby puppy pic we first took.

 

    We got him all moved into his apartment and met most his roommates.  They are all a bit older than him but seemed really cool.  Ethan ended up not having a roommate in his room--last minute change of plans or something💁--so it looks like he has a room all to himself this semester (great for Max if he flies out to visit).

    We took a little trip out to see the famous Teton Mountain Range.  We drove out to the Grand Targhee Resort which actually took us into Wyoming.  It was breath-taking.  They had a ski lift up the mountain which we of course jumped right on.  W.O.W.

    We said our goodbyes Saturday night and left our Ethan in Rexburg.  We stayed the night in Idaho Falls and were up bright and early to make the long 14 hour drive home.  Great road trip--we hit Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming.  Crazy proud of my two grown kids.  There is no place I would rather either of them be right now in their lives--not even home.  Spread your wings baby boy.  Love you to the moon and back.
