It's been a long summer, and a fun summer for the Higley bunch. Ethan's job on the farm ended because his boss went on a mission for the church. After being unemployed for awhile, he found the 'dream' job. He is a personal gardener for a successful businessman who lives on Pelican Point on the Snake River. He mows his lawn, maintains the sprinkler system, does other 'gardner' things, like clean his boat and wash his airplane. Then he gets paid to ride the boat on the river, and his boss flew him to Twin Falls for lunch at the airport. How would it be??? He, also has his own shop, with a stocked fridge, microwave and choice of a 4-wheeler, golf cart, and a mule to ride while doing his 'job'. He's making more than Mom. Too bad his job ends when school starts. He has also been mowing Grandpa McBride's lawn, and the neighbor who lives in Toolson's old house. He bought a nicer pickup with all that moolah he's been earning, an extended cab Chevy. He'll be a Senior this year.
Zach & Zeb are moving handlines on a farm north of Paul. It's been a long summer for them. They learned the importance of sunblock, especially Zeb, with that red hair and fair skin.
Landon has been staying with Jonathan's wife Crystal, until Mike get's home. Thank goodness for a wonderful daughter-in-law.
We took a wonderful vacation to Jackson Hole on the 4th of July. This time we got to stay more than just overnight, which is usually how it is, because one of us usually has to go to work.
We stayed 4 days and three nights. It was great!! The fireworks were beautiful as they are every year. The weather was great and the Tetons were majestic!! They were still covered with snow and beautiful. The Pallisades was sooo full!!
We decided to ride Snow King to the top and WALK down. It was one of the funnest things I have ever done. It was so pretty and all the locals were so friendly. Sure my legs were killing me, but I loved every minute of it. If I lived there, I'd walk it everyday. When Jen shows me how to post pictures on here I will post some of the Tetons and a really cute one of Ethan and Landon walking down Snow King.
The grandkids are growing and Jon and Crystal just had a family picture taken. We'll have to post that, too. Michael will be one on Oct. 4th. That year flew by. Skylar just caught her first fish with Jonathan while we were fishing this last weekend. She had a ball!! She reminds me soo much of Jenn.
Hope you all had a great summer!!!
It was nice to see Melanie and Puyal's family this summer. Looking forward to seeing you all at Jami's wedding.

One of the many great things we got to do this summer was go to the Grand Canyon. We had a blast. Sally's son Robby went with us too. We drove up from Mesa just days after flying in from Shanghai. It was hot and we were jet-lagged, but we had fun. It is so amazing it was worth it. This was our last vacation before we dropped Nicole off at college. I can't believe she is in college! We miss her very much.
