B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

I have been putting in for the ticket lottery for the Savannah Bananas for YEARS now - anywhere close enough to drive/quickly fly - Denver, Portland, Seattle, etc. This last December, we finally got lucky when they announced the tour was coming to Boise for two nights. FINALLY! We didn't know at the time that it would be 103 degrees and a literal ashtray for air quality, but hey, we made the best of it! What a fun show!

Make That a FOUR-Peat!

Addie absolutely swept the Canyon County Fair this year. It was hotter than hot, but so were Addie and her sheep!

The Mountains Are Calling...

Another Lowman camping adventure in the books! When the girls were talking to Randy about what we were doing during their visit, they specifically asked if we were going camping. Got them hooked!  We had a major storm system move through early evening on Friday, which apparently caused quite a bit of blowouts near Grand Jean (and presumably further towards Stanley). The river was like chocolate milk the remainder of the weekend, which really put a damper on swimming! We ended up finding a place up Eight Mile Creek Trail that worked out great - while we have been by the spot a thousand times, we have never really utilized the creek for swimming/hanging. Oddly, the creek was clear as can be - despite what the main river looked like - so we set up shop for a few hours. It turned out to be a great little spot for us!
