Adventures in Idaho

By Renae

We enjoyed the past two weeks with friends and relatives in Southern Idaho.

The majestic beauty of the Sawtooth mountains haunts me. I want to go back.

My son does too. He conquered a huge hill, caught his first fish, paddled in Pettit Lake, and fed cows wind fallen apples.

Our backyard just can’t compare with such adventures. Observation and imagination will have to carry us through our longings for nature’s splendor. Let’s hope the birds flock to the repaired feeder and the swing set becomes a pirate ship.

    I can just imagine the adventures going through your son’s head! You captured a beautiful moment here.

    Jennifer,
    Thank you for your kind words. If we could view the thinking process of a nine year old boy I’m sure we would get quite an education. :)

    Hi Renae!

    So glad your trip went well - I so wish we could have connected while you were in the vicinity - Maybe next time? - we just got back from WA - great trip too!

    I enjoyed your most recent post about multiple choice tests - so true!

    Warmly,
    Mandi

    Thanks, Mandi. I wish we could have met as well. Next time we’re in Idaho we will get together and hopefully it will be sooner than the four years it took us to go this time. :)
