~Idaho~

Over memorial weekend we went to Idaho to spend time with our awsome Harker family there. We went to our cousin's homecoming, moved pipe, shot guns, hung out with g-ma Harker, and had a great time with Pam and Layne's family. One of the highlights was going to a cave there in Idaho. It was so cool. I know pictures are worth a thousand words... so i'll just put some pictures on.

this is the opening of the cave. it's so random. if you didn't know where it was you would never find it. It's the weirdest spot for a cave, it's in the middle of a flat, sagebrushy place.

This is our little lizard friend. My aunt's brother pulled this out of his pocket! ha ha

The cave was about a mile long. It was really fun. It was the first cave i've ever been in.

From the left to the right: Me (amber jo), Marissa Hansen (tanner's fiance), Tanner, Amanda (Marissa's friend).

There were two ladders you could climb throughout the cave. Erin's on the ladder, Marissa is in the red, Amanda is on the left, i'm on the right.

this is my model of a cousin going thourgh a crawl space.


My hillarious cousin, Jordan going through the same crawl space. thankfully there were place matts already there.

Strutting our stuff, yeah that's right! there was some graffette on the walls. One was dated back to the 1940's! it was pretty cool.

This was just our immediate family, there was more there.

There were some parts where it was a bit small, but other parts where huge openings. I felt like i was in Lord of the Rings 1 in the caves. Good thing we didn't see any Orcs

After the cave hiking we built a fire and roasted got dogs and marshmallows. It was so good.

The only problem was our car. To get to the cave we had drive on a muddy, nasty road. The next day me and mom went to clean off the bottom of the car and the area by the tires. There was SO much mud. It took forever! there was mud EVERYWHERE!! nasty.

They day before we went to Pam and Layne's farm we stopped by at g-ma's. She drove us around Shelley, where she first met Raymond and where they lived for a while after they were married. We saw her house, their farm, their first appartment and this picture above is where my grandpa was living when they met. It was so cool! it was interesting to see proof that g-ma was young at one time. I was amazed at how much she remembered.

This week was so much fun. It was nice to catch up with my family. they are so much fun. Next week i'll tell you all about our visit to Ohio. Then the week after that i will tell you all about Tanner's engagement to Marissa Hansen. So, look for that! Untill next time. bye! ~Amber jo
