Vacation is almost over

Hubby starts his new job Tuesday, we are all excited and nervous. You see he spent 15 yrs in the Army and is going head on into the civilian world. I know everything will work out. Back to the fun stuff, we got into the car , decided to leave the city limits and head to Emmett. Instead of heading up on hwy 55, we went around on the 84 fwy. It took us through Fruitland? Payette? Somewhere in the country......

Somewhere on the 84 fwy and yes it gets cloudy in Idaho and yes my kids think it's the end of the world when it does. 

We got off some exit pointing to Emmett & Fruitland, we had to get off the fwy anyways because it was shut down due to an accident.  

An Alpaca farm! Finally, I feel like I live in Idaho for real!! I don't know about you but the background scenery is beautiful.

Then after we passed all that we made it to Emmett and checked out this house for sale I seen on the Internet. Oh boy, we laughed. Not because it was in the complete middle of nowhere, it looked NOTHING like the picture. Emmett is a cute little town in the country and I would live there if we were either retired or had a job in the town because that hill you take into Boise looks like it would be a hot mess in the winter, not something I'd cross everyday when there is snow and ice.


Yesterday the weather was ugly and raining all day so we decided to take the kids to The Discovery Center in Boise. It was fun, hands on and we learned some cool science stuff.

The Discovery Center is right next to the river and a big park, I packed our lunch hoping to go there afterwards but of course it started to rain, the wind picked up and it was cold for a minute I thought I was back in Washington.
