Cabin at Garden Valley


The 2nd week of our vacation we went up and stayed in a cabin in Garden Valley, Idaho. For those of you who have not been up there it is really beautiful. The ride up there was very nostalgic as I craned my head to see all the dangerous rapids my crazy adventurous grandpa Nielsen loved to take us Kayaking down. It brought back fun memories of our trips together and what an all around amazing guy he was. Our first night up there we attended Oklahoma at the starlight theatre. While the play was mediocre the majestic sight of bald eagles soaring above got me in quite the patriotic mood. What a wonderful country we live in! The rest of the time there was spent, playing tennis, cards, swimming, and karaoke. The latter I found out was not my thing. I have a new respect for those crazy people who try out for American Idol! It was fun and best of all I got some relaxation time in.

Yeah your Grandpa Nielsen was pretty amazing! Glad you had a great time at Garden Valley. You mom mentioned you were going up there; it sounded like so much fun. I also enjoyed hearing about your college buddies. It's always fun to catch up with old friends.
