Idaho FUN!

It’s that time of year again that we take our yearly trip to Idaho. I LOVE how quiet it is up here! We were sitting out on the deck last night watching that bats fly overhead, eating all those pesky mosquitos. Today we went out on the boat and I got to see where Matthew Mcconaughey’s new house is being built on the lake! Shhhhh its a secret! Rumor has it he bought the island across the water too! But you know how rumors in a small town go!

Grandpa and his fearless copilot! I could spend all day out on that boat! We have had some perfect weather! 90’s during the day and cool 60’s at night! I am working on my tan too! Till next time! I hope to have some awesome eagle photos to show off!

Mt. Rainier National Park

Last weekend Scott and I went exploring and we made it all the way to Mt. Rainier National Park. I never thought I would be using the words Summer and snow in the same sentence but I guess welcome to Washington! I knew the mountain had snow on the top year round I did not think that it was something we were going to see let alone spend time playing in. We drove up to the top to a little place called Paradise. They have an awesome lodge up there as well as a welcome center and multiple trail heads. From what I understand this place is pretty much covered with snow in the winter. Heck it’s July and there were still piles of snow 10 feet high! We hiked up in the snow for about 45 mins to an hour before we decided we needed to turn back. Neither of us was dressed for the weather … we both had on shorts and t shirts. I found out that is was really fun after you fall down in the snow to just slide on down the rest of the hill on your rear!

We hope to visit again next month and see some of the wild flowers that are trying to come up!
