Well it took moving to Utah to experience the life a of Idahoan. While on our way to Fairmont for Labor Day, we stopped in Blackfoot. We went to visit Taunya who is working potato harvest driving truck. Avery, Lily & Amanda all got to ride with her in the truck while they loaded it with potatoes from the field. It was a first for all of them (Brian also rode a little bit, but its not new to him since he used to do the same thing). It was really fun to see how potatoes are harvested. Lily was a bit nervous in the big bumpy truck, but Avery really liked it. They were quite excited with the red potatoes they got to take from the field. We also got to see a little bit of them unloaded the potato truck and picking out the dirt clods.
When we pulled up to the potato cellar, Brian mentioned how he loved that dirt smell- and how much it brought back great memories for him growing up in Idaho. We are so glad that we took the time to show our kids something from their daddy's childhood.
We sure do love Idaho!
