This weekend was lots of fun! Nat, Robby and EE came up to visit. Nat and I took the boys over to the Boise River to throw rocks and climb the "thinking tree." It was such a beautiful day although it is much more beautiful by the river when there are leaves on the trees. I am so anxious for spring and summer to get here!
There are many reasons I love living in Boise. It really is no wonder that it was ranked in one of the top 10 places to live. Going down to the river reminded me about why I love living here so much. My parents live about 5 minutes from the river. I have lots of my childhood memories running around in the woods, riding bikes, and building forts in that area. I love to watch the bald eagles, blue herons, and the great horned owls. I'll never forget my first experience with poison oak. That was a NIGHTMARE. We have had many great memories floating the river on hot summer days and I won't soon forget the time my sister and I performed on a float the last year the River Festival had the night light parade. (The parade was actually ON the river...it was SO cool!)
Another reason I love the river: because without it we would have no LAKE 20 minutes away! I am SO looking forward to the summer now that I am not pregnant or breastfeeding! (Yep, Landon up and quit on me about 4 weeks ago...I am a FREE woman again!) I know Nate is looking forward to hitting the lake this summer...I got him a new wakeboard for Valentine's Day! If that isn't romantic, I don't know what is! Here are some pictures from last year:
Not the best picture of me. Obviously I am VERY focused. haha.

I love Boise too! Although I didn't grow up there, I have so many "summer" memories with you and Nat. Floating the river is probably one of the most fun things I've ever done. It's like your own little adventure!
Living in Boise sounds very nice. I had fond memories of the woods in my back yard and floating on tubes in "the ditch". We rode bikes and had great times. Then Walmart came and built on top of our huge playground.
I love the picture of you water skiing. You look great in a swimming suit. I wish I could say the same after three kids.
