Nature, Electricity & Bears ! OH MY

Again, I don't know how to make the pictures in the order I want them. . . Todd's parents from LV visited us while in area for wedding, what a pleasant treat!  We visited (first pix) Boundary Dam on the Pend Orielle River, these are the lines coming up hill from HUGE turbines below,  265000 horsepower, and the elec travels across state to Seattle in ONE SECOND!   It is impressive to see.

Then we "hiked" to Sweet Creek Falls, some other visitors snapped pix for us. . . the falls were roaring with spring run off.  You can see in background...

Then the bears, Kim snapped pix from his pickup last Sunday while visiting a neighbor 2 miles up road from us. . . a mom and two cubs, when he snapped pix, one cub stood up and turned to see. . .

Sheila ventured into a cave on hike, all turned out well.

Sullivan lake was looking-glass clear, it was beautiful today.

Life is good.

OH JOY

Got to share some events with Brooke and Bryce.   Bryce is in the Kiwanis Boys Choir, and they took a day and toured, visiting Bryce's elementary school and other places, ending up at Concert at Capitol that evening.  Bryce got to ride bus, great fun.  His dad went along for the day, too, what a great dad ! There is a pix of Bryce and his good friend Robbie, they are singing "Popeye the Sailor Man". . . Brooke also won an honor of the "Patience Award" for her class, got breakfast with the Principal !   Her class has been tending a flock (?) of pheasants, here she is holding one, I guess she and Gage are "birds of a feather. "  And mom joins in the fun ! (see Witt Wisdom blog)

SHE GRADUATED! Music to our ears!!

Valerie graduated from Kindergarten at Charlotte Hill Elementary in Las Vegas, NV in June 1992, and from Absarokee High School in Absarokee, Montana in June, 2004.  AND NOWValerie Witt Robinson graduated from BYU on April 23, 2010.   We are so very pleased at the choices she has made with her life.   SHE is music!

ANTS

Haven't posted for awhile, and tons has happened.   And I don't know how to make a layout cooperate, so just randomly on here.  We built a new storage room in the corner of the garage, it will serve us well. Not to get it stocked up.  We traded the subaru for a hyandi, good mileage and paid for.  We burned our field, and I rediscovered ant beds, these are huge.  I used to love to "study" ant beds when I was a kid.  When I was in third grade, our class was earning money to buy a pair of guinea pigs (from my brother Kendall) and mom gave me the job of walking to the store for a few groceries.  On the way home, I stopped to "study" an ant bed for an extended period of time, and when I got home, I almost didn't get paid.  I had looped the grocery sack over my arm and ended up smashing the middle flat of a loaf of WONDER BREAD.  Wonder bread was a rarity at our home, it was a great loss.  Anyway, my "study" of ant hills goes way back.  If you look closely, one ant had a piece of grass three times longer than he was in his mouth, that always amazes me. 

Having a nice spring and glad for some warm days after a few weeks of much needed rain.  The robins love our yard, and the worms.  Tried to get a pix of the cats, not very photogenic. Now next week we are headed to Provo to see our baby graduate from BYU!

We had great fun visiting the Montana Witts. 

We caught Steven's Family sledding in Montana!
