WINTER ARRIVED......

Spent the week end in Island Park, Idaho with the Panniers checking out the new " BARN" not really a barn as you can see, but taken from the blue prints of a barn by the builder.....so dubbed the barn. HOWEVER.....it did not look like this this weekend end.  We left Salt Lake about four in the afternoon in a blinding snow storm that left about two feet of snow in Karrie's back yard.  It snowed on us to the border of Idaho then we had good road until we got almost to the barn.  We woke up the next morning to a winter wonder land out side and bitter cold. The temperature dropped below zero in the night.  That didn't stop us from doing some shopping and sight seeing.  They took me up to some beautiful springs that every turn was a picture post card. Then we ended up at "BOONDOCKS", a quaint little place with the best lunch ever!  Fun friendly people and we will be going back every chance we get. We also took two humungus cinnamon rolls home for breakfast. The lake in back is in walking distance and will be a fun summer treat to fish, boat, swim, water ski etc.  In winter of course snowmobiling etc and West Yellowstone  is a few miles away. It will always be a fun get-a-way for them and their family for many years.
Sent my sweet missionary an email tonight, been gone going on eight months....maybe two years won't seem like forever soon..
