We're back from our little Idaho/Utah adventure. Of course, the big news is that we got a call on Saturday informing us that we had received two offers on our house. Upon returning to Reno we reviewed the offers, made a counter-offer, which was accepted and heard yesterday that our counter-offer was accepted. As of yesterday our house is sold and if everything works out then we'll be out of our house in less than a month.

We spent all Thursday driving. The trip was probably about 10 or 11 hours. We went up through Salt Lake City, then to Logan and finally to Bear Lake. The cabin was a three-story house right up the road from Bear Lake. It had a pool table in the basement, so we played quite a few games; however, many small children make for interesting pool partners.

Friday we went to Minnetonka Cave and took the tour. Although some in our group weren't real excited about this activity at first, they quickly changed their minds once we got inside - it was pretty cool. I was disappointed to find out that there wasn't a Minnetonka Cave Cache as the sign so brazenly advertised.

After returning to the cabin we went down to the lake. The sand was fairly nice, so it was comfortable and fun. Not so many rocks, thorns and scorpions like Pyramid. The water was cold, but not as bad as Tahoe, so nothing to complain about. We had a lot of fun there, as well.

Saturday we drove over to Idaho Falls for a family reunion on my mom's side. We saw some people we haven't seen in a long time, some people we've never seen before and played volleyball. I had some chicken for lunch, but a few feathers were still attached - they need to fire the plucker.

Sunday we headed back to Reno. It was a long, grueling drive, but we survived.

Finally, this what our new ouse currently looks like:
