Quiet House . . .

 
We enjoyed a pleasant Sunday evening on the greenbelt by the falls in downtown Idaho Falls. The children particularly enjoyed walking down close to the water edge. We even saw a large pelican floating on the water at the top of the falls - who knew? One of the pleasures of the Atlantic beaches is the abundance of pelicans soaring close to the water in search of dinner. We never expected to see one here in Idaho!

All good things come to an end however. Early Monday the Bailey bunch headed for home and the house is tooooo quiet! What a joy to have a week of family fun!!
