So I got online the other day to see if there was anything interesting to do around here that I hadn't done before. After not having much luck, I found this random forum talking about things to do--here are the top seven things on the list (paraphrased by me, except when quoted):
1. The famous Idaho Falls Zoo (boooooooooooooooring)
2. The local dollar theater that shows old kids movies for free sometimes during the summer
3. The regular priced movie theater
4. McDonald's (This is for real--I mean, a real person wrote this)
5. "Go to downtown Idaho Falls and let the kids play on the benches. [The BENCHES!] Those who have done this saw it's amazing what games the kids will invent for themselves."
6. Buy a kiddie pool to play in
7. "With that wading pool DRY get generic Cocoa Puffs or a similar cereal and put enough in for the kids to play. Then you can store the generic Cocoa Puffs for potential re-use. That's if it all hasn't been crunched, fed to family pets, eaten by the child/children, [peed on,] or ended up elsewhere. This usually is an outdoor activity, but could be moved indoors if blanket/sheets are placed under the plastic wading pool so clean up is easier. For my friends who have done this, children will be entertained for hours. Besides, if they didn't eat breakfast...well you could accomplish two goals."
As you can see, it's been difficult for Barbara and I to find things to fill our time with. Thankfully, our friend Todd fixed Barbara's bike recently though, so we've been riding around everywhere on that. There are some good parks and trails in Rexburg to ride.
We got hot.

If you guys had kids, you would think any of those things were worthwhile. Just you wait, you'll be frequenting the local McDonald's playland and thinking, "Wow, what a great day!"
