Smuin ReUnion and Dreams that Come true!

So for the first time in a while we had a Smuin Reunion! We went to Birch Creek which is on the Salmon Highway! It was a ton of fun seeing and hanging out with people we haven't seen in a while! One of the days we ventured to the Kilns where they made charco for the mine and for asphalt and other we went to Indian paintings and then we went to something that is almost an Indain later but ended up just being a nosiy archelologiest latter but as Grandma Wilding said it is still history! It was a ton of fun! Here are some super fun pictures!
This was at the kilns! I had to at least try the water that me pumped up but it tasted like poo! (those are all cousins in the back part of Emily Kaylyn Heidi and Tammy and then that is Braydon next to me!)
This is super Cute Kade as the water came out of the foset thingy!
Kaylyn pumping and parts of Jeremy and Colton and Braydon!
Kade needed some help Kenna Colton and part of Daxton!
For those of you that know me I have a sercet dissirer to be a tour guide! I think it would be like the best summer jog ever for me! I have grand plans for it that will be explained later in this blog!
Look how excidited I am that my dream has come true and that I will be able to lead myself as a tour guide! Dream do come true and not just at Disneyland!
One of the kilns! I believe that is Kenna and Kaylyn. I just think that are super cool! They used about 150,000 cords of wood before they stopped.
Other view of the beauties all together! There used to be 16 but there are only 4 lefts
My Uncle Dewey brought his horses so I decided take a ride! I do love horse!
If you look real close you will see that Dewey and my Dad are almost twins! They are about two years apart! At night by the campfire they (including my Uncle Darin) would tell us stories about their childhood growing up on the farm and cray things they did like bring home a black fox! They told stories that we had never heard about our Grandpa Smuin, like how he bore his testimony every Sunday and other awesome things!

So while we were driving around this gourgus land I was remembered how I just love Idaho! Really I have a great love for this crazy state!
This brings me to the most awesome summer job ever! I really love talking about the settlement of Idaho and how it developed as a state and why people seattled here and what the people where looking for! And one day I will take a road trip in which we will stop at very historical site along the way to were every I am going! I will call it my Idaho Historical Journey!
Once I am done with this journey I will have collected enough knowledge to start Melissa's Idaho! A tour group that will visit all the amazing hidden gems of the Gem State! (ovisouly I will come up with a catchyer catch pharse)
That way all of the people around the world will be able to share the love of this land that I have!
P.S. I feel like the spelling is worst them normal but that could be because the spell check is coming up automaticly and I am to tired to fix them or I can't figure out how to spell it when I try to fix it! So I will stay true to the blog promise from the beginning at let you sound it out!

The only problem I see with Melissa's Idaho is that if everyone sees it through your eyes there will be to many people clamoring to live there! You are quite a 'gem' yourself!
