Swan Valley with Kathy and Kids

Kathy and Harley could not quit putting this puzzle together. We finally went and got in the car. LOL!
 At the top of the falls. So pretty.
 Kathy had me take this one for Craig to show him what he was missing.
 Beautiful Snake River
 Of course you can't go to Swan Valley without stopping at the Square Ice Cream place.
 Everyone playing a game of Egyptian Rat Race.
Today we headed out to Swan Valley after a relaxing morning of scrapping and visiting. Kathy and I have scrapped 12 double layouts. We are finished with all of our vacation to Island Park last year. It has been so fun to scrap with my sweet niece. We spent about 3 hours driving around Swan Valley and seeing the falls and Palisades Reservoir. Such pretty scenery. At one point on a narrow dirt road we had a lady flag us down coming the other way to tell us that two wide loads were coming and I might want to wait here for them so I could get off the road. Here came a huge cat on a flat bed and another truck. So after they went by us we started off again and ran into a BMC truck with a long trailer. So we hugged the side of the road until they went by and here came another one. What the heck. This was a little dirt road in the middle of nowhere. As we kept going we saw the cause of all this traffic. They were digging out pads and building houses along the river. We decided they could build us one so we could spend each and every summer by the river canoeing and rafting and fishing. We can dream, can't we!
After that we stopped for Square Ice Cream at the general store. It was refreshing but not as good as the homemade stuff Janna had made for us a couple of nights ago. But it hit the spot and we started off for home. We spent the night visiting and Kathy played cards with the kids. We sent in her pages to Allen's to get them printed off. Then it was off to bed to get some much needed rest.
Grateful Statement: Today I am grateful for Heavenly Father's creations. What beautiful sites we saw today. I am so blessed to live here.
