Idaho Trip

We had a great time on vacation. We had 10 days of fun fun fun. First we drove to Idaho to see the Craters of the Moon. It was a long drive with a couple of potty stops and food. Idaho looks pretty much like Utah to me, less trees :( We were so lucky to find snow at the Craters of the Moon and we were not able to go through the 7 mile drive they have there. Dan was very disappointed and mad at himself. But the kids and I convinced him that it wasn't his fault and we were having a great time anyways. We took some pictures and climbed on some of the rocks that were not covered with snow.
After walking around for a while and going to the visitor center we found out that they were
going to have a truck come and clean the road in 3 days. We decided to drive to Twin falls after that and stopped on the side of the rode to let the kids out and see the lava rocks and take more pictures of them. They had lots of fun. Only one injured kid there. Victor was running and fell down on the rocks, he had a bleeding hand but we put a band aid on it and he was like new.
We drove some more and got some snacks at a grocery store and lunch in the car. Kids whining
a little bit but still having fun :) It was a little boring at some points because there was nothing to see until we got to Twin Falls. That was a beautiful place and decided to go explore a little bit. You can't really see it on the picture but we were pretty close to the edge and it was a long long drop, very scary, Victor and I decided to stay away from the edge as far as we could. We had decided to spend the night at a hotel with a pool and Best Western was just the place. The best hotel I have stayed at. Two big beds, 1 recliner, our own microwave and tiny fridge and the indoor pool. We went shopping for snacks and found a cool grocery store where you can buy cereal and snacks by the pound for really cheap. I guess they have lots of LDS people down there because the store was perfect for Mormon people. We went to look for the water falls, which were really close to the hotel. They were cool looking. The kids played around rolling down the hill and climbing on trees, after that we headed back to the hotel, played in the pool and had more fun, except for Aaron who was very scared and cold. I ended up getting in the jacuzzi with him. Dan was playing with all the kids and seemed to enjoyed himself. The next day we drove home but decided to make one more stop at the Golden Spike. Dan had been talking about taking us there for a long time, and we finally did it. We are going back in May because they have the trains on display and people act out what happened there years ago. Tristan really loved looking at the trains. So that was our Idaho Trip.
