Hedgehogs!


We got another hedgehog! We have had Scion since this past summer- He is a 3 year old male hedgehog that we adopted from a family in Albuquerque. He has been kind of lonely, and due to a change in the breeding laws, we have obtained a second hedghog. This Hedgehog is a 4 month old female from breeder in Montana. We have named her "Nanay" which means "mother" in ilonggo (got the hint?) Yes, we are hoping to breed these two hedgehogs. They are both very friendly and we are excited to have baby hedgies in our home and later on in the classroom! \

"River Navigating" the Teton River

Blake and Becky came up to Rexburg and we went Rafting/Camping on the Teton river. We floated 2.2 miles on Friday evening and then set up camp, and then 2.5 miles on Saturday. It was quite the adventure because none of us has floated the Teton River before, so it was all new! There were some good rapids and I think we all got wet! It was beautiful weather and we had a blast! We saw several eagles, some deer, and some abnoxious beavers. We fished lots and Blake caught his first fish! It is a beautiful 14" brown trout. We had so much fun! It was quite the adventure and we had a blast!

Hiking Table Rock in the Tetons

Natalie and I hiked Table Rock! It was probably the hardest hike I have ever done, but it was definately worth it. In 4 miles, we went up 4,100 ft. Basically we were climbing straight up! It was a beautiful view of the Grand Teton and of the whole valley! It is kind of crazy to be so high that you see birds and airplanes flying below you! There were also tons of wildflowers everywhere and basically just an awesome day!
