Eagle Mountain Rodeo.

Eagle Mountain Pony Express Days

RODEO

We were lucky enough to get free tickets to the Rodeo.  It was so much fun!  We made it through the whole thing, in spite of the cold.  The kids and I agreed that we don't like the events where the guys rope the calves. We feel that it is mean.  We actually cheered when the calves got away.  Matt was a bit embarrassed.  He insisted that the calves did not get hurt....we don't believe him.

Shoshone Falls, Twin Falls ID 

This is the second time we've been here as a family.  It was awesome.  It was a bit cold and muddy so we couldn't explore as much as we wanted to.  I told the kids about Evel Knievel and how he tried to jump across the Snake River.  The kids had a ton of questions about Dare Devils.  I guess we have a new subject we can study.  

What a beautiful world our Heavenly Father has created!

Ice Caves

Ice Caves in Shoshone, ID

This was so much fun!  My parents and grandparents took us to these sames Ice Caves when I was a kid.  We went with Josh's family the day before my Grandma Conrad's funeral.  It was a good way to honor my Grandma.  The Cave was so cool.  (Literally:))  The kids were a bit nervous at first but they loved it, too.  The statues outside are cheesy, but they've also been around forever.  A boy actually stumbled upon the caves a long time ago.  It's a pretty cool story.  

There are some pool pictures mixed in with the Cave pictures...same trip, wrong order.  

Spring Dance Recital 2011

My beautiful, talented children!  I'm not biased at all, am I?  The kids have worked hard this year in Dance.  This was Conrad's last year in Break Dancing.  He's liked it and done well, but he's decided to take Drawing classes instead.  Jaylee was in 3 dances this year.  She's in Jazz and a Performance Group.  Waverly is in Jazz/Ballet Combo.  They all did so well.  We love Gotta Dance.  Ms. Jamie does an awesome job with the kids.  

Discovery Museum at Gateway

We've been having a fun time at the Discovery Museum.  So many fun things to do.  We go during the day when everyone else is at school.  (That's the best part for me.)  We hit the Planetarium while we are at Gateway.
