Monkey Falls with the Boys
This is my last week watching the boys on Tuesdays and Wednesdays before I start teaching again next month. Kevin has gone back to school, so now I spend the days with Jacob and Ethan. I've found that the time passes more quickly if we find things to do. Today Ethan wanted to catch grasshoppers and Jacob likes to throw rocks in the water, so we went on a drive to monkey falls (basically an irrigation canal that dumps into the Teton River. It really is a fun place, but apparently can be a little dangerous. A BYU-Idaho student died there a few weeks back (there's a story here).
Anyway, we had a great time. I caught a few frogs, we caught some grasshoppers, and everybody got to throw rocks in the water.

That last picture looks more like Ethan to me. :) I can't believe you got him to hold the creatures! Way to go!
Yeh, I thought Kevin was in school. Besides I don't think Kevin would hold a grasshopper like that. I was pretty impressed with all of those pictures. Especially the one of the grasshopper looking right into the camera.
I loved the pictures with Ethan holding the frog and the grasshopper. Great scrapbook pictures.
Okay, that picture of the grasshopper on the leaf kind of freaks me out! Any second he is going to jump on me! I hate grasshoppers almost as much as I hate butterflies.
I'm very proud of your boys for holding the critters!
Way to go, Ethan!
