Trin comes back!

Triniti came to Moscow to get her stuff and I miss her tons now that she is gone :( but while she was here we did some fun things. She brought her boyfriend Alex with her and we went to Nectar for dinner. Trin and Alex at Nectar.
We went to Sangria for dessert and then went to Mix to have a few drinks. These are our drinks. If you go there I think its the Pom Passion is amazing.
Triniti and I being goofy.
The Next day we went Garnet digging. Star Garnets are only found in Idaho and India and the Emerald Creek Garnet digging area is only about an hour away so we headed up there. I thought it would be a fun thing to do with Trin since it is her birthstone. How you do it is you get buckets and go to this hill and load your self up with dirt. Then you sift through it in sifters and get all the dirt out and what you have left is rocks. You then take it down to the sluice and clean it off and then you can see the garnets. Its hard to find them though because they look like dark rocks. So here is Me digging.

It was a fun weekend and I MISS YOU TWO!!!!

Trin goes to Rupert

So Triniti Came to southern Idaho to go camping with my family this summer and things came up so it took us a while to be able to go so we hung out around town for a few days.
I showed her around town first we went to The upper crust for lunch.Then we went on the hunt for an antique store but for some reason they were all closed so we took a picture in front of the hitchin post.
Since there were no antique stores open we settled for the Minidoka Museum.
Where Triniti drove a stationary train with Juan.
She knocked on outhouses.
Made a phone call :P
We stopped by the first Church ....
to pray :)
Then Triniti was naughty so she got sent to the first jail.
And she finally got her chance in the outhouse.
I haven't been to the Museum since I was in grade school but it was a lot more fun this time.
Then we prepared for camping. And yes my mom taught Triniti to cook! She made and excellent strata that we ate for breakfast while up camping. I couldn't find the exact recipe but it was close to this.
When we finally did make it up camping we went to a kinda crappy spot because there was a sick family member at home and we had to have cell reception. But we did do some fun things.
This is Kody and his dog Mya riding the motorcycle.
Triniti and I before we went on a ride.
First beer break. Don't worry mine is lemonade.
The four wheeling trail we took.
The view from the top.
Waiting to continue.
And sitting by the campfire.
I also found a snake!
After a long weekend of camping Triniti and I had to head back so I could get to Moscow and she could head back to Montana. We had to have a group picture with my mom at the table where we played monopoly cards several times during the trip.
It was a lot of fun I hope she can come back again and we can go camping at a nicer spot.

Massive Blog post time!!!

Ok So I am really bad because I have been meaning to post a bunch of blogs and never have time so here I go. First we are going to start with My visit to Montana! I went to visit Triniti on spring break last year. So here is what we did. I had a post about this a while back but I jsut got more pictures so here is some more.
Triniti and I started out by doing what we do best: Eating!
This is at Jade Palace where she works and we got a ton of food for the 2 of us.


We went to Hobby Lobby and met Chelsey there.
Triniti was in a rock climbing class and they said I could come along for repelling day :) this was one of the most terrifying and fun things ever.
Trinit going down.
Me going down with my death grip on the rope. (I know I am holding tight with the wrong hand leave me alone I was trying not to die)
Our hands after repelling twice.
That's what we repelled down. I now want to take a rock climbing class :P
And Walkers the other place she works for dinner.

It was so much fun I can't wait till next time I go visit her!

Fair and the rest of Rupert

So when we got back from camping my mom, brother and I went to a play at the Oakley Valley arts center.
But then we had to start on the real reason I was down there. The Rupert fair! Kody and his cow Suzy were at the fair all week.
This is my grandpa, Kody and Suzy
This Next picture is of my mom loving on the calf. She was a very sweet cow.
One of the last nights I was there my mom made a big dinner. Shaunna came over and it was great to see her. We decided to make fried green tomatoes!
Shaunna cooking the tomatoes.
While dinner was being made I went out to the living room because I had hurt my ankle earlier that day and when I got out there Kiarra my kitty was relaxing on the couch and I found it so funny that I had to put a picture up.

Camping

So when I got back from Arizona I headed to Rupert to be with my family for a week. The day i got down there my family had planned on going camping. Jordan and Mykah came over and were going camping with us. We decided to take Keanu our dog camping with us so we took him to give him a bath and comb him out so that he was clean enough to put in the car.
So here is Keanu with Jordan and Mykah.
When we got up camping there was a creek running through our camp site so the first thing we did was play in it to cool off. Here is Kody and the girls sitting on the bank of the creek.
The girls and IThere were dragonfly everywhere. When we got out of the water the dragonfly landed on us so here is one sitting on my hand.
and the girls with their dragonflys.
We had the usual things a huge fire.
Fishing
and since it was hot we took our chairs and put them in the creek to be cool.
After all of it I was very tired and of course I can't sleep without my kitties sleeping on top of me.
