Welcome to Idaho!

So . . . we made it to Idaho! It is absolutely beautiful here. Lots of trees and agriculture. Right up my alley. Everything was going great, lots of unpacking and playing. Garrett woke me up on Saturday to get him breakfast. Garrett and Claire couldn't wait for "Conference breakfast", so they both ate a leisurely breakfast of cereal before everyone else woke up. (Our prophet and apostles speak to us on a Saturday and Sunday every six months, and it is usually broadcast on cable, so we stay home have a big breakfast and watch!) Then it happened. Garrett walked into the living room and almost in a trance said "Mom, there's snow!" I couldn't believe my eyes. The kids quickly woke Kaile, and almost as quickly, Dad, and we went outside to play. Our great friend from Fallbrook, Susan, had come over to watch conference with us, so we let her borrow a jacket, and we played in the snow. Unfortunately we missed the first half of the Saturday morning session, but we couldn't resist. We had BIG beautiful flakes, what I hear called "Salt Lake flakes"???? They were about 2"! Anyway, it was great. I wasn't quite ready for the snow yet. None of us had snow boots. Kaile wore ziplock bags under her sandals. It was fun anyway.

Susan taught Claire how to eat snow, and we couldn't keep her face out of it the remainder of the morning!

You can see a little of our backyard in these, although covered in snow. And our perfect snowman, thanks to Jan. Luckily we are back to no snow (except an inch or two of snowman) and fairly beautiful weather with changing fall leaves. I'll try and post more soon.

Love to all!
