Idaho Adventures

We are here in Idaho with Brandon's family and we are having a great time relaxing, laughing, boating and taking jeep rides into the mountains!

We left town Tuesday right after saying goodbye to the boys and came straight here to Brandon's hometown. It felt kind of weird being the 2 of us again, but it is turning out to be an easier adjustment than we thought. Truly this is a tender mercy from the Lord.

We have had some non stop fun since we got here. Wednesday we went to the golf course in Weiser, ID and Brandon, his dad, and brother golfed while I drove the golf cart around. It was so much fun.

Thursday (yesterday) we went to Hell's Canyon to water-ski and eat a picnic. It was a fun and relaxing afternoon/evening. The water was perfect (though Brandon's family says it's too warm) and I was able to go kneeboarding for the first time in a year or so. It was a lot of fun until I totally biffed it in the water. When I surfaced, I was dazed because it happened so fast and it hurt! Thought I would wake up this morning (Friday) with whiplash, but thankfully that wasn't the case.

Today we went in to the mountains in Don's (my FIL) jeep, and ended up hiking a little ways. We drove on some old mining roads that are 50 years old. We had a blast of course! We came to the near top of the mountain and got out of the jeep and climbed up the steep mountain side quite a ways and tossed or rolled some rocks down the mountain to see how far they would go. It was a great work out, but quite slippery in some places. It was the coming down part that really made us stay on alert. I took my sweet time coming down so that I wouldn't get hurt out in the middle of nowhere.

Tonight we are going back down to the lake, seeing as how everyone wants to get in as much water-skiing as possible!

I once again want to thank everyone for your love and support. Be assured that we have felt their influence. We love y'all and hope y'all are doing well! Have a great weekend!

My heart goes to you... I know the boys will remember you guys. :) You are gems! Like Shakespeare wrote, "Parting is a sweet sorrow."
