Idaho

Friday October 15

So Tenlie was out of school for UEA and since Cody was still hooked up to his chemo until Friday we were limited to the places we could go. Fortunately for us Cody's parents were heading up to their property in Ashton Idaho. Cody has really wanted to go up there this year, but we have not got there until now. We had a great time it was beautiful. I just love camping when the air is crisp and refreshing.

About 9 miles north of their property is the lower and upper mesa falls. These next few pictures are of the lower falls.

Here we are now at the upper mesa falls. It is so pretty there.

At the last minute we were able to convince our friends the Davies to join us on our trip. Our kids had such a great time with theirs.

Tenlie has really got into taking pictures so I let her take some her self. So this is the view of a 5 year old.

Saturdays weather wasn't all that great it had scattered showers so we headed up to the falls and then up into West Yellowstone. Since its only 50 miles from the property. We enjoyed the scenery on our drive and just hanging out in the town.

On our way back to the property just off the side of the road was this moose. The kids got out and was so excited.

Our kids had such a great time playing in the foundation to the cabin more than anything. They kept calling it their space ship. The boys had a window well that was theirs.

And the girls had one of their own too.

The other thing they enjoyed very much while we were up there was the 4-wheeler rides. Anytime someone jumped on one they were not far behind them wanting to go.

My in-laws have built this shed so people would have a place to stay while they were working on the cabin. It's very nice inside. They've insulated it and have electricity in there so it stayed nice and warm. We tease about it and call it the Mexican hut or the sombrero.

This had to be Tenlies favorite past time. She just loved swinging in this swing. If we couldn't find her all we had to do was check the swing.

O.k this was the coolest part just down the road is the river and there is a place that has a tone of fish. The kids had such a great time feeding these fish the bread. I think we spent a good several hours there.

The fish were so big its hard to see but they were monsters.

I'm so glad we were able to make this work out. I don't know if Cody could handle the weather up there any later in the year. The mornings were so cold it was hurting his ears and face. It's going to be very interesting this winter.
