Idaho...part III

We left Blackfoot Monday morning and made our way to Boise. We floated down the Boise River (which Mike and I had done with our friend Alyce 9 years ago.)

We brought our 4-man raft from home and some tubes, but ended up with all of us in the boat since the river was so COLD!! (Mike said there was NO WAY he could sit in a tube. His feet had "headaches" in less than 2 min of standing in the river.) The ride down the river was a bit longer than we'd remembered...Mikenna was DONE 20 min into the trip (1:45 min trip total) There were very small "rapids" along the way...the first set didn't faze her too badly, but after the 2nd...she wouldn't move, kept saying "go" and "all done" fell asleep with a hat on her face but was then rudely awakened when watered splashed in when we went through more "rapids". She was VERY happy when we got out of the boat. (Pics to come later)

We spent the evening/night with Mike's cousin Nathan & his family. The girls loved holding little Lila (6m) Kaylee once again went into her "why can't you keep having babies until we get a boy?" The next morning we went and visited with Alyce (same friend mentioned above) of whom we haven't seen for several years. It was fun visiting with her and her mom...the girls quickly made themselves at home...crawling under the dining table, playing on the piano, and building yogurt cup towers.

We are glad to be home, but wish we could still be on vacation!!
