We went to Mesa Falls for part of Memorial Day this year. The weather was hit or miss while we were there, so we ended up not going to the upper falls, just the lower, as it started to rain. The kids had a good time though and we love being outdoors.
Lucas did really well at his piano recital. He said he was pretty nervous to have to announce what songs he was playing, but not nervous to actually play. We need to find him a new piano teacher in Shelley so he can keep progressing.
One day we made our way to what’s called the Glitter Pit. It took us a bit to get there, we ended up at a closed road at one point, then down a long stretch of a dirt/rock road that I thought might cause some flat tires, but eventually we made it.
It used to be a mineral mine but now it’s just some piles of rocks and an open shaft you can go in and mine your own gypsum. The kids loved it and I think they each ended up with multiple bags of gypsum to take home.
