By way of comparison (This one should be on the bottom)

Just by way of comparison. The last time we were at Shoshone was 1997! Look how little my kids were! Chet's folks looked the most different after the kids. Kinda fun to look back! I sure hope we don't go that long in between visits to the Falls next time.

Shoshone Falls

So today was Fathers day, and we decided to go on an adventure! :) We picked up Chet's Dad & Mom and headed to Idaho. Idaho? You might say. To that I would say Yes! There are so many beautiful places in Idaho and I love going there.

(This sideways picture by the way wouldn't turn and that is why it is sideways.) My cousin told me about a month ago, that Shoshone Falls was flowing really high this year, and we haven't been there since the kids were little so we decided today was a good day to go. Last time we were there Chet's parents were there with us, so it was fitting that they went with us today.

On the way there it started to rain. Not hard really but very steady. I was hoping and praying that when we got there, it would clear up even if for just a little bit. Prayers work! By the time we got there, though it was really cloudy and it did rain a fine mist on us a little bit, it cleared up long enough for us to enjoy a good hike. After words we went to grab a bite to eat, and just about the time we were finishing lunch, it not only started to rain, it started to POUR!!

It continued to rain on us just about the whole drive home. Clearing up about the time we hit Ogden. Such a good day! I love spending time with my family!!! I love them so much and I am so glad Chet's parents came with us to enjoy the day as well.

Thanks for the rain....

See my nicely weeded corn :)

So today, I have been being very grateful for the sun shine. After so many days of rain I was very glad to be working outside in the sun!

I do have to say though, that I am grateful for the rain! It has done such good things for our garden. After worrying needlessly about the rain washing the plants away, I went out today to find all is well and even that the weeds are for sure loving all the water. I spent quite some time pulling weeds in the corn, but had some other things that needed to be done so didn't get much else done in the garden, but I wanted to continue with the picture catalog of how the garden grows. I have never done this before and am really looking forward to seeing how it will all play/picture out!
