WARNING: Kind of long! I am sure only my immediate family will enjoy reading this...
My dad came to visit me and Alejandro this past week. He was here from Saturday, July 5th, and he just left yesterday (I am feeling lonely right now). I always love when family comes to visit, and this was no different -- we had a lot of fun and did lots of things. When he got here on Saturday, we went to Idaho Falls and went to the mall to return and exchange some things, and then we went to the Museum of Idaho to see the Pharoah exhibit. I have been there twice already, but Ale and my dad never have. It is a cool exhibit -- very informative and interesting. I knew my dad would really like it. Then on Saturday when we got back we went on a walk. We took him up to the gardens on campus, which he really liked. It's beautiful up there. That's where we took all the following pictures. We also walked up to the temple and took some pictures up there. It was a wonderful, cool (weather-wise) evening to go on a walk. On Sunday, obviously we went to church and then in the evening me and my dad went on another walk up to the gardens and sat up there and talked for awhile. I think it was on Sunday night when there was a major thunder/lightning storm. We kept on going outside to watch it. If any of you know my dad, you will know that he LOVES crazy weather like thunder and snow storms. So he got a kick out of that. It was pretty cool though, I have to admit.
Monday I had to go back to work (teaching swimming lessons), but I was done early, and me and my dad did some shopping for my mom at the Distribution Center and Porter's. We basically hung out on Monday and enjoyed each other's company. We went out to eat at Millhollow, which was really good! Dad liked it a lot.
Tuesday, I had to work again, but after that we had some fun. Alejandro took the day off at Melaleuca, and we all went up to do a session at the Rexburg temple. My dad hasn't been inside yet, so that was a good experience for him. It's absolutely beautiful inside, as many of you know. Then we had dinner and hung out together. On Wednesday, me and my dad drove to Idaho Falls again and did some shopping at Winco. My dad is a big fan of the store and he bought us some food there, as well as some snacks for his trip home. That night we went to see the play "Savior of the World" put on by the theatre department at BYU-I. It was a really, really good production and my dad really liked it too. I am glad we were able to go. Then we went out to icecream at Millhollow. My dad really got hooked on that place while he was here! :) On Thursday I had to work longer, and my dad just stayed at my work reading and stuff. Then I had to drop him off at the shuttle at 2 p.m. It is always hard to say good-bye to your family (especially parents) when they leave. I wasn't too sad until later that night when Alejandro was at work and I was all by myself. It was nice to have someone here to talk to at night and go do things with. I am still kinda sad, but next week I have my Spanish final and lots of things to do. So anyway...it was a really fun and eventful week and I am super glad my dad came to visit us, as always! Here are some of the pictures we took on our walk Saturday night.

That picture of dad with the sun is really funny. Was that his idea? Dad is a fun visitor cause he is happy doing just about anything. I love those khaki shorts by the way? Where did you purchase them, pray tell?
Sorry, I put a question mark where it was not needed. My apologies.
You idiot! Jk. But I got the khaki shorts at...Maurices! Where else?? I was in dire need of some leg action. Anyway...yes that picture was dad's idea. It was funny because I was trying to take a picture of it and then dad wanted to take that picture. It was hilar. It is fun when dad comes because he could just read a book or check around on the internet and be fine.
i love the holding-of-the-sun picture. very nice. i bet it was fun having your dad visit!
Oh yeah, Rusty told me that he saw you and your Dad somewhere... I think on campus. It caught him a little off guard! That's so fun that he was able to just go and hang out for a little while. Congrats again on your pregnancy!
