Manwaring Adventures

So, here's just a recap of what we did last week.
Monday night we went and flew kites for FHE.
Anna and Ellie
Truman, Ogden, Anna, and Justin

Wednesday night Justin wanted to head up to Wolverine to pick out a camping spot for his scouts for Friday night, so we went along. I didn't think he was serious when he mentioned hiking up to forty horse cave or we would have dressed a little more appropriately. We'll just say, Justin, Ellie, and Truman were the only hikers with good shoes on.

We still had fun, though.










For Christmas, Justin's sister, Natalie, gave us a book called Back Country Roads Idaho, or something like that. Justin has been aching to go hunt down one of the spots in the book, so on Saturday, we headed out to a part of Idaho I didn't even know existed to find a waterfall.


The kids were starving for some lunch when we were only about 4 miles from our spot, so we finally gave in and let them eat. There was sagebrush everywhere, so we had to picnic in the back of the truck.

When we were about 3 miles from our spot, we had to turn around because there was too much snow on the road. We all had such a fun time all crammed in the car together, though, that we'll probably attempt it in a few weeks when the snow has melted.

How fun, the pictures with the mountains behind is really cool! I'll believe the waterfall in the sagebrush when I see it :)

What a fun week. Are you so excited for warmer weather? Picnics in the back of a truck are some of my favorite memories. Cute family pic.

OK, Matt and I need to details about 40 horse cave, we would love to hike there. Also, that back road Idaho book sounds awesome, you'll have to let us know about some of these spots!! Kite flying was such a fun idea and I love your hair curly! :)
