Swan Valley Idaho

Next on my journey, I got to drive up to Swan Valley, Idaho with Boo. We stayed there with Richard for 2 weeks...and wish it could have been longer. I had to get home to Provo, because my old roommate Bonni was coming from Kaua'i to stay at our house for 10 days.

Swan Valley is beautiful. We'd never been there before. We stayed not far from the Snake River and just 5 minutes from Lake Palisades. We went fishing with Clint and Darcy, and Richard caught a fish that kinda freaked Boo out. It was almost dark, and Richard stood in the water w/his bare feet and legs and almost froze them off before he caught his trout.

We got to see a lot of beautiful country. Wendy and I drove up to Jackson Hole for my first time, and we ate at a cool place and got some sunglasses and stuff. It's a cute town. Darcy and I went to Lake Palisades and hung out on the dock. Her and Boo went swimming and had a blast. This is where Boo began dock diving...he absolutely loves it! He loved playing fetch in the water with Darcy. We also went photo hunting....and found some beautiful places to photograph, like this haunted house a few miles down the road.

Wendy and I drove up to Driggs and Victor with the kids to check out the towns....they look alot like the Heber Valley and we saw the magnificent Teton Mountain Range. We ate dinner at an Irish Pub that Richard and I like. It was fun to explore the towns and visit the cool little shops. I got Boo a stuffed whistling birdy at the general store that he loves to play with. A while later when we were home, there was a birdy in our trees...whistling the same tune. I think Boo thought it was just me mimiccing his toy. :-)

Richard and I got to drive 45 minutes north and go through the Rexburg, Idaho temple. What a beautiful temple! That town has grown a ton! Some of you have seen the book I made and got published of Swan Valley photos with poetry. I chose this place to publish my first book about....because of it's magnificence! I'm having a blast making videos and doing projects with my photography! Definitely fun projects to work on when we're on the road.
