SUMMER VACATION 2011 (PART II)

Below is the house we rented for our three weeks in Boise. Three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a wonderful neighborhood! The neighborhood had walking paths throughout; and below is one of the parks we walked through every morning.

We sat on the patio - a lot! The backyard was beautiful with a pond and lots of shade trees. We found it quite funny that the second week we were there it was warmer in Boise than Green Valley! Go figure.

There were ponds along the walking path and most had ducks and geese; and lots of Bull frogs.

Jessica had us all out for a bbq one night. Below are seven of the eleven grandchildren.

Bob, Jason and Jarod. We'll get a picture of Justin and his family on our way home.

With Jessica.

All together.

More to come!!

OUR SUMMER VACATION 2011(PART I)

We left home on the 24th of July and headed to Winnemucca to stay with K.C's menagerie while he attended a wedding in Idaho Falls. Below a picture of K. C and Bob enjoying his backyard and ponds. K.C's backyard is really nice and he has two waterfalls; below is one of them.

A butterfly on a lillypad flower.

In his pond are many, many Koi. Below is one of the bigger ones. It was Bob's job to keep these big boys fed!

K.C also has Poison Dart frogs. They are interesting little creatures. I finally got one to come out of hiding so I could take his/her picture.

Unfortunately I didn't get one picture of Shylo; K.C's African Grey Parrot so just imagine a smaller Boomer! We had a good time at K.C's, but then it was on to Boise; which will be continued in the next blog.
