Our flight to Idaho was very smooth! Jack was SO excited about the airplane and did a great job. (FYI- the sticker book the Jakobsens recommended was a hit!) And Josie was perfect, as expected.
Idaho is a very beautiful state! These are pictures of the
palouse (in ID and WA). It was green and brown rolling hills as far as you could see. Jack called them volcanoes…and we corrected him "No, those are hills." Come to find out - they are actually made up of volcanic ash - so Jack is much more intuitive than we give him credit for. This region of Idaho & Washington is known for it's wheat & lentil production. For the record: I did not see a potato field.
We stayed in a cute little house on Adams St. in Moscow (pronounced Mos-co). It was very cute. But it was also very little. Jack and Josie were privileged to get the only bedroom. Tyson and I slept on a pull out couch. It's an understatement to say that we were excited to sleep in our King size bed last night. AMAZING!
Washington State University (in Pullman, WA) is about 10 minutes from Moscow. We drove over on Friday with part of the Swihart Crew for a visit with some grizzly bears! The bears really put on a show for us! Jack, Elliot, and Eliza had a lot of fun!
Josie didn't care about the bears…but she had fun meeting her family!
Love how you show a picture of a grizzly behind the fence, along with a pic of Jack with his hand IN the fence!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Yes, there were two fences and about 3 ft separating Jack from the grizzly!
