Family Adventure

Well, we decided to go on a family adventure exploring parts of Idaho we've never been to. We chose Craters of the Moon, Shoshone Ice Caves, Shoshone Falls, and the Hagerman Museum. It was fun for the kids, especially the older girls, to get out and see the sites they've studied during Idaho History in school. We had a great time and everyone seemed to have fun, even while learning.


We stopped in Fairfield, Id and ate at the Wrangler Drive-In, home of the roadkill pattymelt (Ken tried it). Typical rundown drive in with pretty good food. This is a huge tree in the middle of town.

One of the cinder cones at Craters of the Moon. We hiked up it, over 6,000 feet elevation. The rocks of the cone were super sparkly in the sun. It was very windy, but what a view!
This is Emily coming down the cinder cone. Ken carried her up. It was quite the trek and oxygen levels were low.
Olivia posing by one of the mountains of lava. It was pretty amazing to see the lava flows and mountains.
Phillip checking out the lava path. It was really neat to see the different levels of lava flows.
