The Crandalls then left for Pacific City, where we had great weather and lots of ripe huckleberries. Shimano, however, so as not to be confused with the cartoon character, prefers to be "Apple Core Hound" instead.

Four days home from Pacific City and the Crandalls left for Island Park, Idaho. We spent time with all of Cal's siblings and got up into Yellowstone Park for a day, but the highlight of the trip was our visit with Kayla in Rexburg. Here are Kayla and Alex in front of the nearly completed Rexburg Temple.

Kayla and Alex also showed us all over campus, which has changed just a bit over the last 30 years. We got really nostalgic about college life by checking out Kayla's apartment and meeting her five roommates ;-). We had a GIANT hamburger for lunch, then Cal and I spent the night in Idaho Falls before heading home.

Upon our return, we got to see Eric for about 87 minutes, just before the big "brothers' weekend." Anyone brave enough to report on that?
