Since we had so much fun going to Twin Falls in February we decided to take a Saturday and take the kids to see Shoshone Falls. We left around 11:30am, had sandwiches in the car then stopped at Malad Gorge. The kids were very impressed with the huge hole in the ground.
After stopping at the Gorge we headed on to Twin Falls to go visit the college to see the 2:00pm show at the Planterium. The show ended up being about the weather. Pretty cool but a lot to remember. We let each of the kids pick something out from the gift shop.
Emma got a necklace and some sort of gem stone.
Ethan picked out a big "diamond". Ohhhh, sparkly!
Ella picked out a tiny little sticky bug that cost .10. She lost it the next day.
We then headed towards Shoshone Falls. I think everyone was there trying to see the falls since it took us 1 1/2 hours to go 2 miles. WOW. We ended up parking our van and walking the last part. It was well worth it. The falls were awesome. All the kids thought it was really neat and I was surprised that they all went out to the overlook place without being scared.
After the LONG walk back to the van (by this time everyone was hot, tired and hungry) we took everyone out to Mexican food. The ride home was pretty quiet, we ended up getting home around 8:30pm. Just in time to put the kids to bed.
It is nice to be in a state where we have so much to do within a short distance. I think the next thing we will have to go do is camping in the mountains.
Ella and Ethan loved going on the 4 wheeler with great grandpa

Ella was pretty freaked out for the first couple minutes. The park had speakers hidden in the trees that made it sound like the dinosaurs were growling and walking around.
What a cute picture!
