SPRING BREAK for the grandkids with Grandma and Grandpa

This past week was 'spring break' from school. All of the grandkids decided they wanted to come to visit Grandma and Grandpa during part of their week. We were able to have two or three of the kids here at a time, each getting to sleep at Grandma and Grandpa's for two nights. We had lots of fun playing games, going bowling, visiting the Bruneau Sand Dunes, and geocaching. Wendy was here when her kids were here and got some pointers from Don on planting a garden. It is getting that time of year, to plant. Don planted the peas this weekend and has some pots of veggies sprouting in the house, to give them a head start. A highlight of the week for all the kids was getting to type on our old typewriter. They thought it was pretty cool to type on the 'old fashioned' keyboard. Melissa wants me to give it to her when we die!

Crater Rings of Idaho

Can you believe there's this big hole in the desert just a couple of miles away from Mountain Home? We took a little drive with Brent and Allison yesterday afternoon and found two big holes (crater rings) in the ground. We'd been there previously, but Brent and Allison hadn't. There were a couple of geocaches there also, so that was our incentive to take Brent out there. Our first trip was in our little Ford Ranger pickup. This trip in the 4WD Silverado was much easier ane much mroe comfortble.
