What is there to do in Twin Falls?

Play with friends!!!! This weekend we got to go up to Twin Falls, ID and have an awesome weekend with our dear friends the Kinghorns and the DePolas. On our drive up, we passed an overturned vehicle with some people trying to pull a woman from the car. We flipped around and Trent helped several other men attend to the driver (who was unconscious for about 3-5 minutes and who might have had some internal bleeding) until emergency crews showed up. I felt helpless so I held up a blanket to keep the sun off the woman and those helping her. It was such a scary feeling being there but such a relief that all 4 people in that car survived and only one was in need of immediate attention. We drove a bit slower after that.
Friday night the girls left the kids with the guys and had a fun GNO. Saturday the boys got thier turn and went golfing. When they got back we packed up and headed out to Wilson lake. Jake's dad had brought out his boat and we got to play. We all tried boat surfing (so fun! and I actually got up!), the kids swam, Trent, Mike, and Corie did some wake boarding, and we took the kids out one-at-a-time on the tube. We had food and sand and sun and rain and water and so much fun!
That night when the kids were sawing logs, we played pinochle---and for once the girls won!!!!! Go us!!! We all ate too much crap (aka candy, pop, and wings) that we felt sick but it was worth it! Thanks again Jake and Jenni for hosting!!!

YOU ARE A ROCKSTAR! I'm scared to death of deep water. I can't imagine getting up and boat surfing.

I love water sports! Looks like you guys had a good time! Trent is my hero. We saw several accidents while we were traveling over the holiday weekend. I know what you mean by feeling helpless.
