During conference week, the kids and I went with Dan on a business trip to the Del Monte seed plant in Idaho Falls, Id. The kids thought it was pretty cool to see where our bean and pea seeds go and how they process them. After our tour, I had to laugh a bit because it ended up being an 11 hour road trip for a 45 minute tour! I really do love road trips with the family. Everyone is all together in one spot talking, laughing and just having fun! On the way home, we decided to take one extra day for ourselves. We stopped at the Craters of the Moon. The kids loved it! They were so interested in the whole area. It really was interesting to see. It started to get dark on us so we didn't go into the last two tunnels. especially since we didn't have a very good flashlight!
We got to Inferno Cinder Cone (which is the picture below) and decided to climb to the top. It doesn't look like it would be much of a climb, but the point that looks like it is the top, is only the half way point and is a steep climb! I did however learn one very important lesson this day, which is NEVER forget your inhaler in the car when you decide to climb a hill in the cold!
It was really neat on the top! You could see all the cones below and around the park. Our car looked like a little speck down below! There was one lone tree on top that was covered in frost and a bit of snow. It was a gorgeous view!
I think the coolest part and the kids most favorite, was the lava tubes and tunnels!
When it was time to leave, the kids asked if they could come back some day. Absolutely!! :)
