Grandma Margaret and Grandpa Randy live on a lovely property in Sagle, near Sandpoint, ID.  We had to cut our trip a little short, but we will go back soon.  We all love it there.<\/p>\n

‘A’ soaking up the morning sun on the deck…
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Grandma and Granpa purchased
\nseven chicks.  They are now "teenagers".  The boys enjoyed watching them in their coop and following them when they were roaming the yard.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\nGrandpa and the boys…\n<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are a ton of crickets and grasshoppers.  Here is one on a daisy.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Harvesting strawberries in Grandpa’s garden.  A major highlight for the boys is deciding what to eat for dinner in the garden that night.  They pick the veggies\/fruits and take them directly to Grandma to prepare.  They are very proud of their lettuce picking.\"\"<\/p>\n

Feverfew…
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

The boys love to go on the utility trailer and use it as a "stage" for performances…
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Grandma gave us a deck of ‘yoga for kids’ cards.  We spent every morning doing different poses.  Here are the boys doing what I think is called the "partner bridge"…
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

We got a few lessons in.  There is nothing better than taking "class" outdoors!
\n\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Grandma reading to the boys.  It was a story about a man who was a printer for the newspaper.  He was deaf, which was common for people working the noisy printers back then.  We had directions in the back of the book to make the newspaper four square hats the printers would wear to keep the ink off their heads.  In attempting to make these hats, we have come to realize that newspaper pages are smaller then they used to be; who knew?!
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

We went to an alpaca farm From the Heart Ranch<\/a>, and got to go into the pens where some of the alpacas were hanging out.  There is a gazebo of sots on the property and we had our picnic lunch there.
\n\"\"\"\"\"\"
\n\"\"\n<\/p>\n

After visiting the ranch, we went to see where Grandpa Randy works. He is a craftsman for a custom timer frame company.  They use wood pegs instead of nails.  It truly is a beautiful skill.
\n\"\"
\nThe boys liked spending time with the shop cat who is always covered in a fine layer of sawdust. (good fiber…)
\n\"\"
\nGrandpa in front of the shop…
\n\"\"
\nAfter the visit to the shop, we drove to Bonner’s Ferry.  I had never been to this sweet town.  We spoke with one of the sheriff’s, ate some ice cream, and looked around in some of the shops.  There seems to be a good size Mennonite population there.  I saw quite a few women in head coverings.<\/p>\n
