Huxley, by the time you can read this for yourself, you will already know what a great place your parents chose to live and to bring you into this world. I want you to know how much the rest of your family enjoys coming to Idaho to visit. This part of the country is so beautiful, some of the pictures seem unreal. Also, on this trip, some of us got to see some Mountain Bluebirds. I hope there are still many bluebirds in the world when you are older, but according to many environmentalists, the bluebirds of every variety - Eastern, Western and Mountain, are in trouble. We have been coming to Idaho to see your Mom and Dad for eight years now, and this was the first time we got to see the Mountain Bluebirds. We also have seen lots of Tree Swallows, which are also beautiful to watch. On the last day that Great Uncle John and Great Aunt Marilyn were here, we took the gondola up to the Roundhouse Restaurant and then took the chair lift up to the top of Baldy. Here are some of the beautiful sites we saw.

| This view is so beautiful, it hardly seems real. |
 |
| When the bird is in flight, more of the blue plumage of the Mountain Bluebird is visible |
 |
| When these birds flutter through the air, more of the metallic blue-green is visible |
 |
| We love the time we spend together in Idaho. |
Patty the pictures are beautiful. The narrative, beautiful. So much love. I hope to chat with Steve one more time before he flies out. Love to all.
