Rexburg

This was Thursday, it was a really fun day! Jackson and I went to the Rexburg Library for story time and he LOVED it. We used to go a lot when we lived in Utah but we haven't gone for a few months. He loved the story teller, he loved the kids, he loved the books! much diff. from when he was just a few months younger! ANYHOO, while we were there they gave us Carousel passes to ride for free! Rexburg has this amazing carousel, it's totally antique! and it's all covered. So we went and picked up Daddy and we took turns riding the carousel with Jackson. HE LOVED IT!! He did not want to get off that horse! We tried to remind him that he has one at home (a rocking horse) But after the carousel we went to the splash park which is right outside the carousel!! He loved that too! He LOVES the water! He is very brave, and not afraid at all to loose sight of his mom and dad so we have to watch him really close!

Daddy and Jackson, He is waving to me! It was so cute! He would hold on to his bar and ride his horsey, then when he saw me he would start waving like mad until he couldn't see me anymore! It will be on the video if I can figgure out how to post it.

One of the things I LOVE about rexburg is that it is SO family friendly. It is such a safe town, and almost everyone is pregnant or has a baby or two. The community has so many free events, like the splash park, FREE! everyday all day long! They have FREE lunch in the park every weekday at noon! for all children ages 1-10. One day a week they have music in the park at like 6:30pm people perform, usually from BYU-I, its awsome!!

I also have to say the student wards (church) here are SO amazing, everyone is ready to serve and help. You can Always feel the spirit, even with a boy who is wiggling out of control all three meetings! NOW that is a powerful spirit to get through to you when you have such a huge distraction! I love my ward and the sisters in it. We are all at the same stage in life and have so many of the same challenges with life. We have a social group three times a week for moms to let their kids play together and we get to chat! So fun, and the kids LOVE IT!! at least Jackson does. I love relief society (Judd takes Jackson to priesthood) so it's just a great break for me to relax.

There are very many perks of living in Rexburg...but they all go away in the winter!! HA HA
