Big Jud's

There's this place in Archer (southeast of Rexburg) called Big Jud's. It's literally in the middle of nowhere, and it takes a good half hour or so to get there. Ben had been hearing about it since we moved to I.F. last year, and it was his desire to go there for his birthday celebration.

Here's the birthday boy:

Big Jud's is so famous because of its gigantic burgers that you can get, if you so desire - the one-pounder, two-pounder, three-pounder, and beyond. They post a picture of you up on their wall if you eat one of these by yourself. Here's the wall:

Within the square with the Mexican flag colors are the people who have eaten one-pounders. The Easter Egg-colored square has two-pounder eaters in it, and the square with the stars is called the "Three Pounder and Beyond" square. Here is Ben with the one-pounder he ordered for he and I to share:

I only ate about 1/8 of it; Ben ate the rest. He figured that he could have eaten the whole thing, but he had a big lunch at work, so he felt too stuffed to be able to do that on this night. Here are some of the people who were there to help us celebrate Ben's birthday. Ivy:

We had a lot of fun eating and people-watching. There were a lot of kids from BYU-Idaho there, in big groups, flirting with each other and being silly. It made me laugh and brought back some funny memories. I took this shot on our way home:

The above picture is one of the reasons I love Idaho so much, for its sunsets in the summer, against the fields. It's just gorgeous.
