The Zoo!

Our house is nestled at the edge of a canyon. A very large canyon. Most canyons consist of animals. Well, when your house is at the edge and animals roam the canyon, they occasionally come close to home. Why do I need to go to the zoo when I can just look out my window and see all sorts of animals? Almost every day, we see animals in our yard. We have a large wild rose bush out in the pasture, and we have a ton of quail that live in it. These are the animals from the Allen Zoo:

This is a turkey that came running to our house one night. He is one of the smaller ones that we've seen around.

This animal is very hard to see. If you look at the center of the picture, there is a black dot. What is it?? A Bear! We have many bears in our canyon. I'm telling you, who needs the zoo?!

Here is our little quail babies. They are so cute all running around. They are very scared of us, so we can't make any fast movements if we are watching them. Even when we are in the house!

I took this picture from my kitchen window. Deer are always coming up into the pasture with the horses. Most of them aren't too scared of us. They just sit there and look at us.

Well, now nobody needs to go to the zoo. They can just keep looking at these pictures. We also have snakes, but I'm too scared of them to get close enough to take pictures. I just have Justin kill or chase them away!!

I'M A SLACKER!!

Ok, so I know that I'm a slacker, but I can't help it. It has been a couple of crazy months. From going to McCall for Memorial Day, to getting a new job, & girls camp. I feel like I have just been running. So to begin; obviously we went to McCall over Memorial Day weekend. The whole family went and we had a blast. Then shortly after, I started a new job at State Farm Insurance in Orofino. A lady in our ward also works there, and she is the one that told me about it. Last week I headed to Girls Camp. I was our ward camp director and it was so fun. Instead of keeping everyone in their own ward (which I'm used to doing), they split the girls up by levels. I had 12 girls in my cabin, and not one of them was from my ward. It was really fun to get to know different girls though. This weekend has been going great. Yesterday, Justin rode in the Winchester Rodeo (that's all I'm going to say about that one :( , then we went to our Bishop's house for fireworks. We went to the lake today and had trouble with the boat, but we still had a great time with our friends. Right now, we are just hanging out in Kamiah with our friends, and later we might go and ride their horses. We haven't decided yet. Hope all is well with everyone and hope you all had a great 4th of July weekend!! We miss you and hope to see you all soon!
