Idaho!

Kent and I travelled to Idaho, last weekend to visit Kara. We had a great time as Kara and Ethan showed us the area. We arrived Friday night and still had a long dirve to Moscow, but it was a great chance to meet Ethan and get to know him. What else are you going to do for 2 hours but talk. We got in around midnight (3 AM for us east coasters!) so we didn't waste much time gettin' to bed.


This is the view from their front porch.


Kara showed us around their home Saturday morning.

The next morning (Saturday) we went into the town of Moscow to shop the Moscow Farmers Market. I always enjoy seeing markets of other towns and Moscow has an impressive one. Along with the usual fruits/vegetables and plants, they had arts and crafts. This added a different dimension to the farmer's market, as there was handmade clothing, wood products, photographers and other artists. There was also a band playing at the market. This was an interesting addition because the band was over to the side where there was seating and a mini playground.

After walking around town for a bit, we headed over to the ball fields where Ethan's son, Forest, was having a baseball game. Unfortunately we didn't have the big camera for this game (or Reed's for that matter, either). Kent could have got some good action shots. We watched the game, tossed the "bee" around a bit and then went for a hike when the game was over.

Kara and Ethan took us to Kamiak Butte (I think). It was a great hike. The wildflowers were in bloom and the sky was so blue. The weather was warm with a slight breeze. Perfect for hiking up a pretty big hill. When we reached the top we were treated to gorgeous views of the palouse (sp?) and other buttes. We saw a couple of hawks circling in the wind as we took it all in.

We had Reed's baseball game to go to, so we headed back down. After the game, we went back to house for a home cooked dinner (Yeah Kara!) with Ethan and the boys. Then we all settled in for a movie. An action packed day!
