Shoshone Falls

There are so many wonderful spots to visit in Twin Falls, Idaho. I think Kylan under-appreciated some of the beauty because he was born and raised here. Being away for several years and living in flat country, we both have come to truly enjoy and look forward to our trips back west. There is nothing better than dry heat (humidity does a number on your hair) and mountains. Love it!

The other night we took a trip to the Shoshone Falls. It was unfortunate that the water wasn't very full and therefor the falls were weak. I still thought it was beautiful. I took a couple shots, especially for my friends back east, so you could all enjoy it with us.





My mom and grandma went for a little stroll. This is Grandma J. My grandma who has hands soft as butter and an attitude of a saint. She will be 88 yrs. old next month! As you can imagine, she has difficulty walking and getting around, plus she is basically blind. That doesn't stop her though. I love that you can use grandma's walker to sit on. It came in handy for this adventure. My mom was really acting it up for the camera. That must be where Keion gets it!


I can't believe they wouldn't let me jump on and get a "pump" to the car. Oh well. Look at that face, it is so angelic. Keion really does take after his great grandma. Last night I thought she asked for a beer (she is very funny and witty and I thought she was cracking a joke). She did but she meant her root beer. She loves root beer and so does Keion.

I can't believe the small amount of water coming over the falls compared to what it can be. Still beautiful though. You guys are lucky, it would be nice to spend some time there now that I've been gone for so long. I guess that'll never happen. We'll just live vicariously through your photos!
