Graduation & Shoshone Falls

Not the greatest picture, but she did it! Jenn received her Master's in Health Education on Saturday.
The Jones Family. The kids were excited. I don't think they understood what the fuss was all about, but they got to go out to lunch afterwards.

Jenn was excited two of her siblings could make it to graduation! It was a neat Mother's Day weekend gift for me too, I got to have three of my four kids together for awhile!
Jenn with her very proud parents.




There's still a lot of snow on the hills north of Burley and the Snake is running really high. We asked at Shoshone Falls and were told they would keep the water high over the Falls for about another month before they "turn them off." They have a water gauge at the entrance that marks how high the water levels are and it was pushed as high as it would go!



They call Shoshone Falls the "Niagara of the West." It is really beautiful, especially when this much water is flowing!





I took this shot to get perspective on how big the Falls are. There are groups of people standing at the observation point just to the right of the falls on the rocks. They are so small though you can't really see them!






This angle was cool with the rainbow. What a neat experience!








This was taken on the observation point that you can't see in the other picture! Karson didn't want to get too close to the rail. It was really loud! If you're close enough to visit, we highly recommend it!!!!
