fun

we have been busy! these past saturdays have been too much fun! we have been active in making eastern idaho exciting and eventful. we hiked "r" mountain-finally. everyone does it so we thought we could handle it. it was beautiful and found out something interesting. the buttes in the eastern idaho, are a volcano that blew up like a thousand years ago. it is now a big crater you can hike up and then down into. it was definatly a steep hike but well worth it. we saw all kinds of butterflies, birds of prey and huge bumble bees-the really fuzzy kind. the flowers were my favorite. then the nest weekend we went to mesa falls and hiked to both the upper and lower. b-e-a-utiful. andy loves the waterfalls. we also just got done with floating the warm river. we decided to go in the "heat" of the day. we ended up drifting through two storms and freezing our butts off. it was still fun. enjoy the pics!
