Memorial Day in Twin Falls

Shoshone Falls
The Dodds clan (including Dunbar's and Van De Graaffs) went on a walk by the mighty Shoshone Falls. I was reading about the geology of the area and when Lake Boneville flooded (11,000 years ago) the canyon, water flowed over the south canyon wall. The 460 ft. high Twin Falls bridge would have been under ten feet of water! Today all that remains of Lake Bonneville is the Great Salt Lake in Utah.











As we were hiking out of the canyon, we stopped and took some photos along the way. While I was taking this pictures I heard the rock walls start to buckle and crack. I knew I'd have to act fast...












So I threw down the camera and jumped under the rock wall to brace it while everyone got out. Luckily no one was injured.















This is Jenna Van De Graph, a very happy three year old. For her Birthday, she wanted a "princess castle cake". So her mom (Andrea's older sister Kristen) created this masterpiece. Andrea also helped out by doing the red frosting around the towers.

Bustin' a Move


Andrea and I went to the "Second Chance Prom" in Idaho Falls with Brandon and Melissa. Melissa has a job at a bridal shop so she got Brandon a deal on a nice tux. I decided I'd just roll in my usual black suit and red tie. When I wear my suit it's a little eaiser to "bust a move" if you know what I mean.

















Brandon and Melissa are both looking snazy. Andrea wanted me to crop out the couple in the background but I thought it was funny. It seems this fellas hand has driffted way south of his wife's waist.
