Here's a shout-out for warm weather!



Okay, the calendar now says March 1st...so that means Spring, right?! I am SO ready for some warm weather and good times! Get me out of the house already! I'm posting some pictures from last summer to get me in the mood for sunshine! (If that stupid gopher, or groundhog, comes back out of his hole and sees his shadow again, I'm going to bop him as hard as I can...I'm DONE with winter!)

Bruneau Sand Dunes and Balanced Rock


It's President's Day, no one has to work or go to school...what do you do?! Well, I was GOING to catch up on laundry, clean house and paint my bedroom, but who wants to do that?! Brian had us pack a few snacks, some warm clothes and get in the truck for a family outing. And then we drove...and drove...and suddenly we were at the Bruneau Sand Dunes. Apparently my Dad took us here when we were younger (but I don't really remember it!). It probably would have been extremely fun, but the wind was so strong that we couldn't even talk to each other, seriously, or we would have a mouthful of sand! It was beautiful and we did have some family fun. But we were still finding sand in our ears, in our pockets, you name it...for days and days! After the Sand Dunes, we stopped for a hike up to Balanced Rock, but Kelsie and I decided to stay in the truck while Brian, Briana and Kaycee trekked it! I'm really not a wimp (or pregnant, as Debbie thinks!), but someone needed to stay with Kelsie, who REFUSED to get back out in the cold and wind! Fun times, I tell ya!
