Home again

We made it home after two long flights yesterday. The pups seem to have missed us and we were so very happy to see them, too.

I have a few photos to share from our time visiting my aunt and uncle (Laurel and Brian). They took us to a beautiful old growth forest as well as the Oregon coast. We lucked out as the weather was beautiful.

Corey "torturing fish" as my aunt Laurel says:


Me, Brian, Serena and Laurel:

Idaho's famous namesake

This is what a potato field looks like at 80 mph.

Not just potatoes in Idaho

I always thought the farmers in Idaho only grew potatoes, but to my surprise we saw thousands of acres of wheat fields, onions, and occasional corn fields.

See what I mean?

The Hertz people are going to LOVE us when we return this car.

So, apparently Idaho has lots of bugs

That is, if our windshield is any way to judge. At times it sounds like it's raining, but nope, just bugs.

Waiting on the fisherman

I took this photo with my phone while taking a solo hike around Jenny lake in Grand Teton. Corey was fishing but before long he caught up with me since the trout weren't biting. I kind of like hiking by myself because sometimes it's hard to keep up with "Crazy Legs" Corey.

One thing I have to mention about the Tetons is the amazing smell of the woods. As you hike and the warm winds twist through the canyons, the smell of the pines is awesome. I love it :)
