A Father’s Day Weekend Adventure
My son and I had a spectacular couple of days away this past weekend. We hadn’t made any specific plans except to stay in Twin Falls and do some exploring. We stayed at the Fairfield Inn in Twin. It’s a beautiful hotel with what turned out to be a nice pool and exercise room. They…

Adventure In Southeastern Oregon
There are times when I have adventure withdrawals. My mind loses the ability to focus on anything except exploring the unknown or climbing a new peak. This last weekend, I grabbed my buddy Mark and both of our kids and we went exploring. We learned that it’s not wise to blindly follow the Google Map…

Boise Adventurer
We went for a little hike up to Tablerock this afternoon. Boise is an incredible place, particularly for a lover of the outdoors. The trail is a bit steep and long for just a casual stroll but the view is well worth a little effort. Here is a shot I took of a bicyclist checking…

Further In! Further up!
My uncle died on Saturday. I won’t tell you it didn’t hurt. It did. It does. And yet, we saw it coming. His mind and memory had long been lost to this world already and his body was just the last to go. It’s a different feeling than the one when someone dies at a…

Box Of Beauty

The Lord’s Army Reserve
I once had the choice to be a full-time soldier, or live my life and be a soldier too. I chose… wisely. That choice has shaped my life, mostly for the better. However, when I look at how that same choice could be overlaid on my life as a Christian, maybe being a Reservist isn’t…

From High Above
I love adventure. I jump at the opportunity to try something new and fun. When my friend offered me the opportunity to fly around town with him in a helicopter, I jumped on it. The helicopter is kept at a hanger at the Boise airport. The first few photos here are while he was in…

Hunt For The Red Wing Black Bird
If you recall one of my previous posts, my daughter has been recently studying the Red Wing Black Bird in kindergarten. She has been really excited about seeing them around town and I knew of a park out toward Kuna with a good group of cat tails we could look for them around. So we…

A Drive To The Desert
Becky joined a group of Christian ladies known as Keepers of the Home this last weekend for a retreat in McCall. While she was gone it was just me and the kids for the whole day on Saturday so I thought a nice drive would be fun. Elizabeth had earlier in the week expressed an…
