After we left Big Sky Montana and Yellowstone, we decided to go to visit Rexburg, Idaho and see
BYU-I. I had never been there before. The temple was beautiful. Jamie and I spent time at the
BYU bookstore there and walked around campus. We went to see the movie "Ramona and Beezus," which was really cute. Jamie and I had read those books when we were about 9 or 10, and I even remember meeting the author, Beverly Cleary when I was in 2nd grade. I had won a class reading contest, so my teacher took me to a special event where she was at.
Back to our Rexburg adventure.
Just outside of Rexburg we saw signs for "BEAR WORLD." We decided, "Why not?" So we followed the signs. It was really fun to go there and see bears roaming around like you hope to see in Yellowstone, but don't. There were rides, a petting zoo, a cute gift shop, elk, deer, moose, pigs, etc. as you will see in the pictures. They will even let you feed a baby bear for $25, but we passed on that experience. We really enjoyed Bear World and recommend it to young families.

| In part of Bear World there is an area you drive your car through to see the bears in their habitat. If you stop you car, they may climb on it, so you are encouraged to go 3 mph. |

| The baby bears were so cute. |

| Even I got on this ride. |
Another fun memory. The Reader's Digest Magazine had an article on happiness. They suggested you spend money on experiences, not a new car, if you want more happiness. I don't have a new car, but I will never forget this vacation with Jamie. We made it to Logan about 5:00 p.m., ate at the Blue Bird Cafe, which I love, and spent the night at Tenille Segalla Phillips' home, which was a delight. We picked up Mandie and Rachel at 7:00 a.m and drove to Provo to visit Lauren for a bit and then on to California. Mandie and Rachel talked about how great EFY was much of the way home.
