Now that we are back safe and sound in Virginia, the yard is mostly mowed, we are mostly unpacked, and I found a little time here is an update from our trip to Idaho.
We had a good visit with our oldest daughter, her husband, and their cute little ball of energy Mia. Tona and Angela got in some crafting, Chad and I went on a little hike up City Creek trail, some friends came by for a visit, we enjoyed seeing everyone at worship service in Blackfoot, and plenty of good eating and coffee in between.
In between the periods of rain ( I understand it was record setting! ) we did get a chance to get out and enjoy the green Idaho countryside.
Here is Tona, Mia, and Angela taking a picture break on the Portneuf River trail (Chad was working). The river was up and had been flooding. In an overflow area Mia went to walk across on some sticks which gave way and she got good and wet. Tona has on her quilted jacket she finished making just before the trip and is sporting her new hairdo!
Here is Mia with the wind blowing in her ears!
Looks like she is enjoying herself. Kinda makes you want to try it yourself!?!?!?!
This rose hip was glistening after the rain.
I had to get Chad in here with Mia!
Here is something a little different - GEARS!
Chad took me out to the garage and he had the engine out of their old car. Over 90 pictures later I had calmed down enough to head back inside. So I thought I would leave you with a couple of pictures to see for yourself!
This dipstick handle was a neat element. I probably could have done a little cropping to come up with a more compelling image but I wanted to present the view I had at the moment and save the delay on getting this posting published.
We came back home to a few rainy days but it is clear and sunny today.
Whatever the weather we can rejoice that God has given us another day in His care to serve Him and enjoy His creation.
