Saying Goodbye Is a Pain

My kids are headed back to BYU Idaho.  Caleb, Annie and Miranda all go to school there, and I guess school starts next week, so they are all headed back.  They all stayed the summer with us.  Yesterday morning I was up early to bid goodbye to Annie, Caleb and Baby Todd.
Yesterday it was Annie and Caleb's turn.  They had there car stuffed, and barely had room for bodies.   Of course Todd went with them.  They hoped to be off by 4, so I went down.  They got up just after 4 and were off before 5.

 Next day we were destined to do the same thing.  Sheri is taking Miranda to school, while I am staying home guarding the house and making it so Tony doesn't miss school.  They left just after 5 today.  They had to wake me up to come down and say goodbye.

Vacation 2016: Rexburg, Idaho: Thomas E. Ricks Horticulture Gardens

Mom, Tony, Annie, Caleb

 We went for a Sunday afternoon walk to the BYUI gardens.  It was cooler there in the shade with the fountains, and wasn't too bad of a walk from Caleb and Annie's.  The gardens were interesting, because there were lots of isolated locations where you could relax even though there were over 100 people in the gardens as a whole.  There were beautiful flowers, often placed randomly, as well as cool statuary mixed in.
