Hooray for Vacation!

The last vacation we went on (excluding to visit family) was 3 years ago, so it was time!!! Seth hasn't had a Saturday off all year, so it was so nice to finally spend a real weekend together and go somewhere we've never been. We went to Hagerman, over by Twin Falls. It was actually a really cool place! We had a great time and saw some really beautiful scenery. Here we are on a hike with signs about Idaho fossils.At the Hagerman Fossil Museum...the Hagerman Horse. (Idaho State Fossil)
Malad Gorge...the picture does not do it justice. It was a looonnnggg way down! Kind of scary!


Random alligator farm out in the middle of nowhere. Kind of funny, alligators in Idaho. We think they were asleep or fake, they never moved and didn't appear to even breathe.


Rebecca was so good, we were in the car so much. She was especially good whenever she found the bag of Doritos.




There were a lot of trout hatcheries in this area. Most of them had no fish in them though. I guess it's the wrong time of year to see the hatcheries. Oh well. We did see a lot of sturgeons at one hatchery though. They are huge! Rebecca loved looking at them



We went to Balanced Rock, which was awesome, and hiked up to it and all around it. It was really fun!


You can kind of see my head...I'm out there on one of the huge rocks.
A nice cave to relax in for a minute!


Niagara Springs. So Beautiful!!

Sounds like such a fun trip (except for the alligators!) Good for you guys for going away somewhere! We've not been anywhere together for 2 years now! It's driving me crazy!

Probably because Hannah would be a demon in the car! How did you get Rebecca to be so good?!???!?!?

That is a very cool little trip you took. I agree with you the aligator didn't look real. I liked the cool balancing rock. You will have to tell me how to get there. Kirk and I will have to check it out.
