Kali Cakes is Married!! - Rexburg, ID August 6-8, 2021

My oldest niece on the Gillespie side, Kali, got married on August 7th.  We drove from Montana to Rexburg for a few nights to attend her wedding.

We traveled to Rexburg the afternoon of Anikka's birthday. She was less then thrilled to not have the afternoon to do what she wanted.  And when we got to Rexburg, the place she wanted to eat was closed so we had to make food at our Airbnb.  She ended up coming up with a concoction of pasta filled bread.

All our family in town for the wedding came over to have a "cake party".

Luckily, she ended up having a great time with her cousins so it made up for the not as fun afternoon.

It was also fun to have some family to help us celebrate. We don't normally get to spend birthdays with so much family (we celebrated with GG and Papa in MT in the morning).

The next day (Saturday Aug 7 - wedding day) we spent the morning walking around BYUI, we had lunch with Leina and her kids and took Ani to a skate park to test out her new skateboard.

In the late afternoon, we had wedding pictures in the park

Then we went to the wedding ceremony and reception.

It was a beautiful ceremony.

Dinner and the reception/dance were super fun and we partied the night away.

They had a fun photo booth.

It was a great day and so fun to spend some time with family.  It was a beautiful wedding that was exactly how Kali wanted it.  I was so happy to be able to be there to support her.  

Farm fun, Townsend MT - August 3 -10, 2021

As a last summer trip we went to the farm in Townsend MT for a week (with a quick 2 day trip to ID for a wedding- separate blog post about that trip) . 

The girls harvested vegetables every day from the garden. 

They rode the 4 wheeler and the tractor….

We went to the Broadwater County Fair & Rodeo. 

We went on a boat tour through the Gates of the Mountains and learned a lot of local history.

And celebrated a special 9th birthday with Anikka.

(We spent the morning and lunch in MT and the evening in ID).

They tried to catch Snowflake to say hi, but he wasn’t interested. 

Luckily, the cows were always glad to see them 

It’s always fun to be on the farm with GG and Papa.
