THE RAFT RIVER MOUNTAINS

It was an adventure. We decided to explore a place we'd never been before.
The 3 hour (meaning 5 hour) drive there was scenic and beautiful. We searched and drove through the mountains trying to find public land where we knew we could legally make camp... and also maybe find some good fishin' on Grouse Creek. (more great pictures found here).
No real luck on the fishing part. We eventually decided to get out and wander around a bit.
Then we found a "road":
And drove to this beautiful ridge, potentially great for camping. We spent some time there
wandering around and then
we voted to drive back home, barbecue in the backyard and watch the neighbor's* fireworks. It was a good thing we did too, because by 10:30, I was really nauseous and coming down with a fever..
I'd show pictures of the 4th...but I was feeling crummy that day, and when I finally dragged the camera out- it was out of batteries. Just like me ;).
I'm hoping my prepared sisters in law will send me some. They took some cute photos.
Sam has two sisters in town, spouses and hubbies in tow. It's a Carter Cousin Reunion like you wouldn't believe and my kids are in heaven! It's been busy and fun. I will try to take some photos before they go back home.

Grammar question: About the above mentioned neighbor's fireworks.... it's possessive, but how do I write it? neighbors, neighbors' neighbor's........anyone? I know it's only one of many grammatical errors on this page. It's just the one that's bugging me most. If anybody would like to help me out, that would be great. I think Sam stopped reading my blog because I acted annoyed by his proofreading ;)...now I miss his help.

It sounds like you guys had a great day trip. Sometimes that is all you need. :o) Have fun with all the cousins and I hope you are feeling better!
These pics are so great! Wow!
It sounds like you had tons of fun(aside from the getting sick part). You're so funny with the neighbors thing. Don't worry I don't know either. I have no clue on grammar. I know I have tons of mistakes but I just hope no one notices and if they do hope they don't care too much.
neighbors' = you have multiple neighbors and they have fireworks that you are watching.
neighbor's = you have one neighbor and he/she has fireworks that you are watching.
neighbors = you have multiple neighbors, none of which have fireworks, because there is not an apostrophe to make it possessive, meaning you had a crappy 4th of July because you didn't get to see any fireworks.
I love grammar. I am weird.
Love Ann :)
P.S. I am also a big, fat dork.
