summer comes to a close

as i recall, summers in south eastern idaho never last long due to the fact that it is a frozen hell. :) with that i would like to officially say goodbye to our dear, sweet summer as we will not see the sun or feel its warm rays upon our faces for another nine months.
let's recap all the wonderful things that we were able to do this summer:



as you can see bear lake...


a little chilly to get it but just a toe was ok


hank came home and wiped us into shape


Shoshone falls



our first trip to west yellowstone. lots of fun-hikes and animals and great friends!


Andy was able to go muddin and LOVED it



andy had a surprise pirate party for the big 27

showing his new straight pearly whites


we climbed "r" mountain


straight up



hiked around mesa falls

west trip #2 with some fun new places


we swam in the fire hole-not as warm as fire but it wasn't bad


huge elk

horse back riding in west yellowstone


andy all ready to go


we had such a good crew and it was sooo fun


hobo pool the warmest funnest warm river around


cave falls we were able to go behind it and it was massive and breath taking
we were so lucky to be able to do this one


fun times at lava hot springs


family went to bar j wranglers


andy's family was here so we took them to mesa falls


the big graduate




going to the swimming hole


free water park


caving


sand dunes


eating at the montage-trip to portland



adult night out-too much fun in portland


frog legs-we loved these. we also had alligator tail yum yum


chilled-literally-at the beach


and to sum it all up we saw the most beautiful rainbow ever right in our front yard



it was a complete end to end bright and beautiful rainbow.
it made my summer

so as it comes to an end, i can truly say that we did not waste a single day. we went camping, hiking, horseback riding, saw scenery like none other, saw friends and family and ate some awesome food. who could ask for anything more.

so long summer. we will miss you. until next year
