"A house does not have to be perfect to be a home of joy, a child does not have to behave perfectly to love and be loved, and every moment of life does not have to be perfect to be of value. Too often, I realize, we fail to see the glorious reality of the simple joy that abounds in the seemingly mundane routine of day-to-day living. Instead, we tend to idolize the past, idealize the future, and devalue the present.... What better way to show our appreciation to Heavenly Father for what we have than to embrace our lives, albeit 'ordinary' and 'unexciting,' with joy?"

Seeing the Sights!

On day two of our trip, we decided to venture out of town and see what we could find! It was fun seeing the different landscapes and vegetation!

Cooper, the backseat navigator!

Exploring the Weiss Rock Shelter




The beautiful Salmon River! If we'd known we were going to stumble upon sparkling white sandy beaches, we would have been more prepared for an afternoon at the river! Now we know where we'll be spending our next trip to Idaho!



The pictures don't do the sand justice! It was almost white and it sparkled! It was gorgeous!

We were wishing we had our swimsuits and lawn chairs- the river felt great in the 100 degree temperature!
