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)
