lau family reunion, soda springs, id

hooray for family, hooray for fun.

lots of activities and a rustic lodge for when the day was done.

baptisms, baby blessings, parades, fireworks, food, and birthday games,

each time we get together it is so different, yet everything the same.

mr. lau and mr. jones were baptised in the snake river

the neighboring town of lava hot springs,

is known for just that - pockets of warm water things.

but most people don't know in a converted gas station,

one will find some of the best thai food in the nation.

riverwalk thai food will put you in the mood,

for affordable and fast scrumptious thai food.

where treats from the holbrook brick store still cost a dime.

built by frontiersman humble and intelligent.

18 states to see

northern utah and southeastern idaho

we left the reception in a horse and carriage,

it was a very sweet way to begin our marriage.

yet, it was unpractical to ride in that for several more days,

as the horsey might not like the city's freeway maze.

so a car was rented to ride from town to town,

it took us through city streets, up mountains and down,

it could seat all our friends and the gas mileage wasn't a bummer,

indeed, we enjoyed our sweet ride, the brand new black hummer.
