More Idaho and Maddie at Grandpa's and Grandma's

I know you all have seen plenty of visit pictures if you've looked at Lauren's and Dana's blog, but I got some when they weren't around so... here we go!
While we waited on the shore at Centennial for the kayakers Maddie was fearless and would have walked right out into the river if I would have let her. We walked all along the rocks under the cliffs, she loved every minute of it!


Throw'n rocks in the river...
It's OK Lauren... Cole, Shelbe and I are all between her and the water!
Cole and Shelbe waiting their turn.
The old kid size picnic table... she loved it! I'm so glad we kept it around for the next round of little people.
WHEEEE! swing'n with Grandpa
Swing'n with Uncle Cole at the river...lots of swing'n going on!!

Is that a ball coming at my head??

Hiking at Galena summit. It was a 5 mile hike, lots of snow on the trail... the map didn't mention that! Sooo beautiful!! Yup, my hair is gone!

Titus Lake... it was the most beautiful emerald color.

We had a fun little impromptu get away at Sun Valley. After our hike we stayed at the Sun Valley Lodge, and just bummed around. Shopping... Eating... Eating...Shopping. We also rode the lift to the top of Baldy and got a great view of the whole valley. Breathtaking! Wish we could just put it in our pocket and take it with us. Idaho is truly a beautiful place to live.

Spring!

Our yard is at it's best right now , so I thought I'd share the beauty! Most of this will be over by the time you get here Dana and Lauren so I didn't want you to miss out. I wish the iris would keep blooming all summer.

Now if I could just get a lily pad to live in the pond....
Now I just need grand kids playing in the back yard to make it complete!
