Vacation to Grandpa's Cabin

We took off to Grandpa's Cabin for the July 24th weekend. It was 105 degrees when we arrived in Idaho City, an hour north east of Boise. The shade of the big lodge pole pines though made most of the days cool. We arrived at the cabin Thursday night, just in time to unpack and call it a night. Friday we spent the day hiking and exploring. Friday night Jon, Lori and Myles came up to join us. Saturday we spent time swimming in Mores Creek and going into Idaho City for ice cream. You can't make a visit to Idaho City without eating a Pot O' Gold, the biggest ice cream sundae you'll ever find. They serve it in a gold miner's pan. Sunday we went to church at the Idaho City Ward. We sat next to a young girl who brought her pet caterpillar to Sacrament Meeting. It was a good idea until the jar holding the little crawler broke, right as the Bishop stood up to begin the meeting. Fun times. Monday we drove into Boise to visit Grandma Wheelwright before heading back to Logan. We're going back in August and the kids are already counting down the days.
