Idaho Fun

I have one other Picassa album I've created since we've moved here, and since it's soooo easy to create a post from the album I'm going to cheat and do it again.

We love Boise. Even though it's the capital city, it's a pretty small town compared to the sprawling, concrete Valley of the Sun. The Boise River runs right through the center of town, and it's lined with all these different parks and biking paths. The Greenbelt is just beautiful, and in many areas you can be on the river bank and not see or hear the city around you. It's like being in the middle of nowhere. And it's a 10 minute drive from our house. Course, I could drive to the other side of Boise and back and not really feel like I've exerted myself much.

The city is ringed on one side by the Boise mountains, on the top of which is Bogus Basin, the popular, local ski retreat. I haven't been skiing. I probably won't go skiing. But I still enjoy the drive to the top of the mountain. Just 30 minutes from downtown Boise and you're on the top of the mountain, surrounded by pines and gorgeous views. It's a fun place to walk around and explore all year long.

We love to explore and take the kids out and about. The air is fresh, the sights are rejuvenating, and the family time is priceless.

Picasa loaded these a little mixed up, but I'm not going to take the time to fix it. .... More updates later...
