Arrive at Campground any suggestions for later or other wise let us know.

April 9th, Tuesday
Let’s try to go to another show at the Faulkner Planetarium at College of Southern Idaho. We tried going before but had some faulty equipment and we didn’t get to see the movie. The movie showing this year is “3-2-1 Liftoff”. Seems to be a animated adventure type but we can all use relaxation and enjoy the experience, the price is right, $5.00 for senior. The movie starts at 7:00 pm so we need to meet around 6:15 to purchase tickets and get seated. Address is 315 Falls Ave.
We would like to have a earlier dinner so we could get to the Planetarium on time. Our suggestion for dinner would be at Pizza Pie Cafe, address 1826 Canyon Crest Dr. near the Planetarium Bldg. This is a pizza buffet also with pasta bar and the price is reasonable.

April 10th, Wednesday
Hola, Hola!
Mexican, potluck!! 5:00 PM in the recreation room. Please bring your own plates and ware.
Janell and I will do the meat and taco shells. We will have a sign-up sheet for related menu.
Games and fun after dinner.

April 11th, Thursday
We have planned a tour of Jerome Cheese factory at 11:00 am to 12 noon. The address is 547 W Nez Perce in Jerome. They ask that we wear a closed toe shoe and no shorts. For those who would like to go we should try to car pool.
Dinner Out at 5:00 at the DEPOT GRILL, 545 Shoshone St West. Older place but good food and reasonable prices. This is not far from the RV park.
Visiting or Games after at recreation room.
