After Twin Falls Steven decided to put the peddle to the metal...
(if you look close you'll see the fuel reads completely empty,
yeah, the electrical in the dash of his parents car has gone haywire. We
were really only going like 40mph...)
This is the ranch that Steven's dad grew up on.
Danny, Jesse, and Jane, and beyond them is the ideal playground for an adventurous little boy to grow up exploring. Also a great place to baptize chickens :)
John and his boys (minus one)
Surveying his boyhood.
That would be such a neat place to grow up. I'm glad we got to see it.
If you head north up the road from the ranch you come to Hailey, where John went to school. We saw these neat bridges:
And up the road from Hailey is Ketchum, where we stayed. It's a nifty resort town that is fun to browse around, but kind of on the pricey side. We ate at Whiskey Jacques, a bar with delicious sandwiches, and walked around the town.
Danny searched for his inner ch'i
The LDS chapel at sunset.
This is where all of Idaho's power comes from.
Since I'm usually the one taking the photos, I have to take shots
like this to prove I was there too.
This was another nifty church in the area; it was huge.
This was such a beautiful valley. There was a lot of driving involved in this trip, but it was totally worth every mile. We got to be with family we hardly ever see (who I'd never even met) and we got to experience places and learn more about John's growing up years. We're very grateful to Steven's parents for making this trip possible!
I think those chickens appreciated my efforts to "save" them, but some of them did learn the hard way that they're not ducks. :)
