Everyone in line for a hike

After a horrendous day work day Friday, we weren't sure we'd make it. Our old Chevy broke down as we were heading home after work so we had to wait for a tow truck. We didn't leave town until 5:30 p.m. but once we hit the road, we could feel the weight dissapate and a sense of peace come over us. We stopped for dinner in Coeur 'd Alene before heading on up to the mountains. (It's nice to have a well-running truck with an adapter--we watched movies all the way).

We were completely at peace and felt at home while visiting Shasta and her family in Bonner's Ferry last weekend. The family all gathered for Colson's baby blessing and as usual, we had a wonderful time. Saturday morning, John and I got up early and took a drive around town, checking out yard sales and dreaming. We ended up at the little Farmer's Market downtown....that was fun. We arrived back at Shasta's in time to head out for a hike up to the waterfalls. Sadly, we weren't listening very well to the kids as they complained of mosquito bites; thinking they were just being whiny. They got chewed up pretty bad. We then hit the park for lunch, let the kids play then went to do a little consignment shopping before taking the kids to the lake for a swim. After we got home and cleaned up, Owen let the kids take the 4-wheeler's out. Jehkiah showed up by then to entertain the kids.

Shasta was the perfect hostess; feeding us with all her new salad recipes. Sunday, after Sacrament we came home to a wonderful lunch and good times. We loved it all and had such a lonely feeling when we had to leave. I kept thinking of those mountains and our beautiful grandbabies all week!!!
