Early Memorial Day May 17

We knew we would be in Star Valley on Memorial Day, so we went to Ogden on Sunday afternoon to visit the graves. The monument below is Grandpa and Grandma E.T. Saunders. This is Dad's tombstone. It was our first time back since the funeral. The headstone looks really great.

Life seems so short. Our eternal life is everlasting. Our Father has set a really great example for us. Dad was a wonderful person. We only hope we can have such a good life.

Star Valley Three Weeks Later

When we left Star Valley on April 11th there was over 3 feet of snow as you can see on the previous Blogs. We returned on April 30th, less than 3 weeks later and look whats left. Yes the snow has disappeared.

Even so nice they are mowing the green.

Now the fun starts. It's time to work on the landscaping.

Shoshone Falls

The weekend of April 18th we had to go to Boise for a meeting. While there we were told that the Shoshone Falls were getting the second highest flow on record. They said you have to stop and see it.

As you can see below they are really big.

Even an Elk Ranch on the way down into the canyon.

Spring Break in Star Valley

Last summer off the deck looking at the green. What a difference a few months can make.

And why is the railing missing? See the pile of snow below that was pushed off the deck. When we got here on Friday night there was almost 2 feet of new wet snow since two weeks ago.

Beautiful snow covered mountains?

Jen, Paige and Hailey came Saturday afternoon and stayed until Sunday evening. What a great weekend.

Jace and Carter's cave by the drive way.

Hailey can catch some major air on the dirt pile. Looks pretty awesome huh?

Lots of snow and fun riding. It was hard enough to go anywhere and not get stuck.

Fun girls enjoying the great sunsine.

Oh ya the cave is big enough to crawl in.

See Hailey fits all the way inside. What fun!!!!

See how deep the snow is on April 5th?

There is not any golfing in Star Valley for spring break. With snow this deep how can you hide your Easter Eggs? Oh Well, it was nearly 50 degrees and sunny today. Who says your can't get sunburned in the snow?

March 22nd in Star Valley

What a beautiful weekend. The weather was great, but can you believe all this snow at the end of March. I do think it melted down about a foot this week.

The gravel section between the road and the driveway was covered with about 8 inches of ice last weekend. Now it is gone.

Still about a foot of snow on the front roof. The water is really running off.

We even got out cross country sking a couple of times.

March 3rd in Star Valley

I stayed in Star Valley on Monday, March 2nd on my way to Pinedale. There was only a couple of inches of snow to clean off, but it had been melting and thee was an inch of ice on the driveway.
As you can see the snow is now as high as the top of the car.
In think when Jace and Carter were here for President's Day they were building a snow cave. You can see it in front of the car.

President's Day Weekend

We were in Idaho Falls during President's Day Weekend. On Monday morning the fog lifted and the river and frost was beautiful. Always better in real life than in the pictures.

Even the falls were frozen.
