Mesa Falls

I wouldn't let Bailey do a Water Wednesday this week. She has had anxiety really bad the past little while, and when she gets it, and can't get it under control, it ends up making her physically sick. Last fall when this happened, she was sick for 8 weeks! She's had headaches, stomach issues, and finally the dreaded cough. The cough is what takes FOREVER to get rid of. She's going on her third week of coughing, and has a half marathon this weekend that she's worked really hard for. So, no physical activity. That meant no swimming ;(! Wednesday is our day to do something fun, so we decided to go on an adventure to Mesa Falls instead. We brought Tanner! He's the funniest kid, and pretty much kept us laughing all day! I'm glad these two are such good friends!

Our first stop was Big Jud's!

Nothing like a giant hamburger to get the day started!

Hahaha, it's bigger than her face!

 Next, we stopped along Warm River to feed the fish! They took the fish food dispenser away! What the heck! We could see all the huge fish, but had nothing to feed them. We ended up getting the left over tater tots out of the car and trying that. The fish spit them out, but the seagulls loved them. So we ended up throwing tater tots at the seagulls instead.

Mesa Falls is one of my favorite places in Idaho! It's so gorgeous! We stopped at the lower falls first.

Lower Mesa Falls 

Upper Mesa Falls is my favorite!

The visitor's center lodge is where the fun really got started! Tanner and Bailey probably broke every rule the place had!

They ignored the signs that said they could touch the pelts, but not remove them from the table! I'm pretty sure Tanner tried them all on as a hat, scarf, or coat!

Hahahaha!

Tanner had fun posing Elder Varvel for pictures. This is one of my favorites!

Hahaha! I love them!

We ended our adventure with huckleberry shakes at our favorite place in Ashton! We were gonna go to Bear World on the way home, but  by the time we got back down here it was about to close. That will have to be an adventure for another time.

We took this great picture of them with their shakes, and then realized the straw was right up Tanner's nose! Hahaha, we had to do a retake!

Much better, but not near as funny!

We had a great day! Hopefully Bailey will be better next week, and we can pick up with Water Wednesday again, but this was sure a fun substitute!
