Idaho Falls

Barrie, Kasey and I went to Sam's Club in Idaho Falls today. Fun trip. Roads were sometimes dry, sometimes snow packed, sometimes slushy. Barrie's truck has studded snow tires, so we had no problems. Then we had a pretty good load for the trip home, about 800 lbs of dog food, plus a few other things. Did I say a few? You never buy "a few" of anything in Sam's Club. about 5 gallons of animal crackers, 36 rolls of toilet paper, 5 lbs of cheese, two huge cans of coffee, a few other things. Every nook and cranny of the truck had something stuffed in it.

Beautiful scenery on the drive. The wind was blowing so hard here when we left, but as we got in the canyon, the wind quit and all the tree branches were covered with snow. There were some sheep right next to the road. We saw some bald eagles, and the river around Ririe was full of ducks and lots and lots of swans. That must be why they call that area Swan Valley!

And I didn't take one picture

No special reason for this picture, except I love the interaction here between mother and daughter.

We went out to the dog lot for Barrie to feed before we left. Kimble was up on top of her doghouse, posing beautifully. As soon as I tried to take a picture of her, she went in and peaked out at me.
