Massacre Rock State Park

We have attempted to tour most of the state parks in our region over the last year, but have not yet experienced Massacre Rocks State Park  east of Twin Falls. Since April is unpredictable, we opted to rent a primative cabin which consisted of a bunk bed, fouton, and a table and chairs.  Luckily, it had heat so it was nice and cozy. We met our frineds Kevin and Ruth and explored the many trails throughout the park. It's a really pretty desert park, especially in the spring. We also stopped at Shoshone Falls in Twin Falls on the way home.
We all had a great time easing into camping this year. Caulder and Kesser keep us on our toes, but always delight and surprise us! We brought the boy's balance bikes, and they rode all over the campground. They are becomming such experts on their bikes. Caulder decided to be a dare devil and ride down a very steep dirt hill. He made it a little way down the hill before he wobbled, tipped, and crashed into the dirt. He proceeded to pop up and announce 'I'm all right' as we dashed down the hill to his rescue. Both of the boys are talking up a storm. They know so many words, and copy everything we say. We are also working on counting and letters with them. They actually can somewhat recite their ABCs, and can count to 10 (but always miss 5 for some reason). We bought someflash cards with numbers on them, and they are beginning to recognize them. They can get one, two, and three, but when they get to four they always say 'chair'. It took us a while to figure it out, but the '4' on the flashcard really does look like an upsidedown chair.
