Greetings from the greatest state in the nation. Oh, don't tell my husband it's

not is fatherland, Texas. Truthfully, everything is bigger and better in Idaho. Everytime I come home (yes, it's still home) I am awestruck about how

beautiful it is. I think it's hard for some of my friends to comprehend the majesty.

We have had a great week so far. Travis came with his family. We have been geocaching in the valley, gone to the Alpine Slide in Jackson Hole, done the 24th of July parade, dinner, and roadshow. The girls have been horseback riding and 4-wheeling. But most of all, we are loving the weather and the real grass! Monday, Dad, Bailey, Emma and I all went to North Leigh for a horseback ride. Emma rode Lou all by herself. She did great. The only part she was scared about was going through the creeks. (pronounced "cricks") And guess what? We forgot the camera. Aargh. The next day, Dad took Kayla, Ashlyn, and Reiley. The went to North Leigh. They took the camera. It looked like the had a great day.
