Northern Idaho




We made for the hills and went to northern Idaho this weekend. It was a bit of a struggle for Ellis to be in the car for 10+ hours, but he managed alright. :) Bucky's parents were a huge help with the kids, trading back and forth between cars and helping us keep our cool when the kids were having melt downs. We went up to ID because Bucky's grandparents, Guy and Maryellen Cash, were being honored in the Grangeville parade. Guy's dad, Guy Sr. was a world champion bronc rider and even won the Calgary Stampede. We got to do some sight seeing up in Harpster where Maryellen's mother lived and heard many stories about life in the 20's and 30's in northern Idaho. It was great. We had a good time and the kids had a blast running around the RV park where we were camping. We also took a day trip up to Moscow to see some of our friends from college. It was great to be back in that small town and see how things have changed and what has stayed the same. It really is beautiful up there, with the rolling hills and farm land.

I think it's wonderful when you can take the time to share with your kids a piece of what it was like for you growing up! What a neat little trip and the kids look like they had fun!
