Shoshone Falls

Now that we're all settled in our new apartment here in Twin Falls, we decided that we should take a look at Shoshone Falls. Jake hadn't ever been there before so he was pretty excited. We walked around the trails and learned that it is referred to as the Niagra of the West. There's more water running over the falls right now because of the early spring run-off. Despite the blue skies and no snow, it was still pretty chilly outside yesterday afternoon. We both grew up in Teton Valley, one of the most beautiful places on the earth, yet we found it kind of interesting to think about how Shoshone Falls can be just as gorgeous, just a different kind of beautiful.

When we were up in Driggs visiting over the weekend, we decided to enjoy the snow a little. It was our Annual Husband/Wife Snowmobile Ride. We got together with our friends and cooked tin foil dinners up in the mountains. Normally Jake and I can put together a good tin foil dinner, but this time Sid and Tracy trumped us with their steak, potatoes, and carrots. To top it off, Tracy made some awesome cookies! Riding double on the snowmobile in the mountains is sometimes challenging when you have to side hill or go up a steep slope. In fact, I couldn't hang on tight enough to Jake in a couple of spots, so I got dumped off. He'd have to turn around, then come pick me up and hit it again. We look forward to this every year and lucky for us it was another perfect day in Teton Valley.
