August 2010, part 2

First of all, isn’t this an awesome picture of Laura!? Anyway, on to the story:  while we were in Idaho, Brent decided to get up super early and go run Tablerock.  Yeah, he likes to sweat.  Anyway, at about 10:30am after picking and snapping what seemed like an eternity of green beans, my parents and I threw the littles into the van and drove the hour and a half drive to go surprise him.  But there isn’t cell phone reception and it was a possibility that we would completely miss each other. 

But just as we pulled into the parking lot we saw the red truck’s rear lights come on… Brent was just about to pull out!  We couldn’t have timed things any better.  And yes, he was wonderfully surprised:)  We had a yummy picnic in the shade and the kids climbed all over and jumped off the benches.  Then we hiked for a little while on the trail.   It was green and warm and there were huckleberries on the bushes!  My parents had to go back after only an hour, but our little family kept going until we came to a beach on the river.  We threw rocks in, waded in the freezing water, and on the way back we climbed up to a waterfall.  On the drive home we stopped and got ice cream bars.  It was a fantastic way to spend the afternoon.
