Almo, Idaho

We spent this Memorial Day weekend in Almo, Idaho. It is still a quiet little southern Idaho town, but seems to becoming a more popular vacation destination because it is so close to the City of Rocks. Many of Bill's ancestors lived in the area, so it has a special place in all of the Whitakers' hearts. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous, so it's not hard to see why.
Four of Bill's 6 sisters and their families all came and we stayed in these cute little cabins. All of Bill's dad's siblings and some of their children and grandchildren were also there so we had a great time catching up with those we don't get to see very often.
We had a great time exploring the amazing rock formations in the City of Rocks.
A few of my sweet sisters-in-law: Tina, Carrie & Melinda
Sam turned out to be quite the little rock climber!
Sam had a great time getting reacquainted with his cousins
Games until midnight
(a pretty big deal for me, since I tend to turn into a pumpkin by 9:30 pm)

The weekend went by way too fast, but we had such a great time! Hopefully this will become a tradition every couple of years!
