Rachel's Big Performance

We had the opportunity to attend Rachel's fourth grade musical program last week. All of the songs they sang were about Idaho. Rachel was chosen to read a short essay she wrote about Idaho.
Rachel said: "Idaho is the best for 3 reasons: Number one, we are unique. Our state gem is only found here and in India. Our state flag is the only one designed by a woman. Number two, landforms. There are many interesting land forms to see in Idaho- like balanced rock. Number three, the people. We process most of the country's potatoes, and give out huge ones and leave the smaller, harder to peel ones to ourselves."

We were very proud. Even the little ones sat captivated by their big sister.

I LOVE what Rachel said about leaving the little potatoes. That is so true!!! Except they send little hard to peel ones to Utah too. And you know I am a true Idahoan at heart.
