Jake has been wanting me to experience Idaho for quite sometime. He used to come up here a lot as a kid, since this is where his mom grew up. They have this big ranch with like 20 or more horses in the middle of no where (to me). It's actually smaller than Vermont!!! It was really fun actually! I was able to stand in the middle of a field, with like 10 horses just surrounding us, wanting to be petted... Usually I just stand on the fence and try to pet them... so this was a little nerve racking. But, they were all friendly horses.. Jakes cousin was also shoeing horses, which was my first experience watching that happen. It looks pretty painful, but I guess they don't feel it?? I got to pet the horse, as it was getting shoed. This is Sadie.
Jakes Uncle Frank took us on a horse and buggy ride through town, after Brandon shoed this horse... I felt amish as everyone stared as we rode on past.. but I am pretty sure the whole town knew his Uncle Frank.
In the front..that's Jakes Uncle Frank, and his daughter Jelinda with her little girl Savannah...
It was soo windy outside. Beautiful day, but the wind was a killer! We were going to ride horses, but we figured we would just go up again when it was a little warmer outside... and I build up a little more courage :)
Jakes Uncle is trying to get rid of some of the horses....so he offered me a horse as a wedding present... I guess they have too many.. I said, wow, my dad would love that! Maybe a return for my wedding ;)
Then we went and saw some falls that were near there ranch... I forget what these are called... But they were really pretty...The water was crystal clear.
Apparently, they used to come off this whole cliff, but they put generators in, and something to control where it ran off...
To bad we didn't plan ahead... we could have done our engagements :)
We went to this abandoned barn that was used back in the day... There was an owl there, and this was its little baby.
This was in Twin Falls, Idaho... Marissa and I were trying to imitate the statue... but it was rather difficult...
The bridge behind us was huge! People were jumping off it as we were there... We saw 3 people jump off. It was pretty crazy. I guess it's the largest "legal" bridge to jump off of... Snake River I believe is below it.
Jakes little cousin Savannah wanted to go see the alligator.. They have a town pool, and just to the side they had this... It was kinda random.
And then... Shoshone Falls.. Incredible! It's a must see for people who can't get out to Niagra Falls. Apparently, these are taller than Niagra, but Niagra is much wider...They were rather intimidating to walk down too..
The Crew... Jakes brother Matt, and sister Marissa that made the trek to Idaho....It was a really fun trip, and I am so glad we went!
