    Educational

    It's really quite interesting to go horse riding in the Teton Mountains with one dad who is a cowboy/mountain man and has lived in said mountains his entire life, and the other dad who is a mining engineer. Not only do you learn about the animals that live there, the indians who used to live...

    We had balcony, it was so fun! I loved the singing sands beach with the pinky, squeaky sand! My mom stopped to take pics of EVERY country church we passed in our week there... and at every restaurant I ate seafood chowder because each place had a different recipe!

    Whats wrong with my African Violet?

    Whats wrong with my African Violet?

    It seems very healthy other than the color of the leaves.... and the stems of the brown leaves are still nice and green. I moved it about ONE FOOT to the left a few weeks ago, do you think that'd do it?
