christmas present (part 2)

Went to Devil's Canyon on our way to Crater of the Moon.  

 Took a 'hike' down by the dam... that was a LOT of stairs!

                Devil's Canyon

           Saw a quail with all her babies.
     Amazing the amount of beehives that we would see along the road.  There were 4 to a pallet... had to do my math 2 or 3 times to really let it sink in how many hives there were!
    We saw lots of goats!
 Bearded iris... wish these would grow here!!!
    The flowers were beautiful!   Went to the botanical gardens in Boise and saw lots of blooms!



  Our professionally photographed family pic!  Thanks Bridgette!
 Rosalee in the roses.
 Elic enjoying a seat in the shade.

 Rosalee's senior pic... okay... 8th grade graduation pic!
 An old jail tower at the gardens.
 We made it to Crater of the Moon, and it was cold!
Sweetpea and the kids.

 Love this saying.


 Indian paintbrush-- would like to find some seeds of this one and see if it would grow at home.
 We went spelunking!  Old lava tubes make great caves to check out!
Me emerging from the cave... made it out of the dark!!

 Creepy Elic!

 Lava formations.
 Georgea in the dead trees.
 Went to the top of an ash pile (have to remember what that's called)  It was windy and chilly!
Looked it up-- cinder cone.
