As most everyone knows I've lived on and off in Idaho for about 3 years now. In my very first apartment I have 5 roommates.. 4 out of the 5 were from somewhere in Idaho. The one I became closest to was from Shelly, Idaho about 30 to 40 mins from Rexburg. After a week of knowing Crissa Rae she invited me to Shelly's main event... Spud Day! It was so much fun. You go to the parade first and then after in the park you get a free baked potato with the works and there's a big carnival.
I now love going to Spud Day I try to go every year. This year we got down there and didn't even have to wait long for the parade! And got great seats. The years before it's always been freezing down there, my first year it was 40 degrees at the parade, this year it was more like 70 or 80... super hot! One of Brad's friends from the Pharmacy came with us and brought his daughter! She was a lot of fun to have around!
This is the "Biggest Potato" I have no idea if it's real or not, I doubt it, but mashed potatoes would be cover in our house for life.
Brad and I have been very into doing things around Idaho, We're trying to take advatage of what we have around us. (This weekend we are hoping to go to Yellowstone and then up to Montana for the day.. There's a Buffalo Wild Wings there!!)
I have the worlds tiniest blatter so while there was a gap in the parade I ran to the bathroom. Brad thinking he's funny playing "paparazzi" I was slightly embarrassed but it was kinda fun he sat and waited until I came out...Boys.
One thing I totally miss about Orange County is OCTFCU....Doesn't this totally look like the debit card picture!! It totally made me laugh when while it drove by. Anyways, it was really hot and Brad's friend didn't want to stay long so we walked about the booths and headed home! But next year I would like to stay from the tug-of-war game... (the middle is full of mashed potatoes that get dumped by a giant cement truck! Super cool!) But now you all know, Idahoans(?) have great pride in their potatoes!!
