Driving, driving and more driving! The last few days have been "covering miles". Matt has loved it--I swear he is more like his grandfather everyday; he too loves to cruise distances! Me? I need respite from the "drive-push", so we stopped at Payette River (Hwy 55 north to McCall, Idaho--very scenic) to take pictures and watch the rafters. I suggested a rafting adventure...believe it or not, Matt said, "No thanks." Although he would love to kayak, he draws the line at getting into a floating rubber boat...go figure.
The river is gorgeous--note photos below. It is a light green color--refreshing looking.
While driving along the southern part of Idaho, Matt drew a picture. I will try to attach it below too. (Hmmm, unsuccessful at this time--poo, it was well done.)
Additionally, we stopped at Hagerman, ID to see the Hagerman Horse (actually more closely related to a zebra, but the name stuck). Matt did a bit of paleontology--smiles!!! I think we could do some archaeological volunteering; that boy is amazingly patient.
The fields of rape in Washington are out-of-this-world yellow!!! Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be as intense a color in the photo, but trust me, the rape flowers SCREAMED, "I am YELLOW gosh dang it, Y-E-L-L-O-W!!!"
Last night we stayed in Sunnyside, WA. Nope, it is not sunny; it rained all night long and most of the morning. A perfect day to do laundry, clean-up a bit, write email, etc. I am loving this "etc. day".
