Beautiful Surroundings!


Today is beautiful! I wanted to show all of you guys what Idaho really looks like. It isn't just flat nothing every where like everyone thinks. My mom has taken most of the pictures but i have taken a few. We have a lake in front of our new house and the sunsets are absolutely gorgeous here.
The weather is starting to cool down here which kinda makes me sad because in the past year i have lived here it snowed in 10 out of the 12 months. Scary huh? We had a crazy thunder storm a few days ago. We were out on our property roasting marshmellows and the storm kept on getting closer and closer. After about 30 mins it was surrounding us. We sat out on our deck and watched it. We would see the lightning and count 1..2..3..4..BOOM! It was way cool. The only bummer part about it was that there wasn't any rain! :( We have some ducks that have nested in the reeds in our pond this year. We have only seen them come out acouple of times. My mom really wanted to get some pictures of them so she took our neighbors paddle boat out there one afternoon acouple of weeks ago and waited. She was sitting out there for i think about an hour before the mama duck even decided to venture out. Pretty soon she decided that it was safe and brought her whole clan out. There was alot of them!
