    Bogus Basin Hike on Memorial Day

    Our initial intentions were to hike at Boulder Lake for Memorial Day this year. Unfortunately, we got reports of snow on that side of the mountain that would likely keep us from making it to the lake. We weren’t about to let a little snow keep up from hiking, but we decided to change the…

  • Snowshoeing At Redfish Lake

    Snowshoeing At Redfish Lake

    I went for a short day snowshoeing into Redfish Lake near Stanley, Idaho. I’ve been looking forward to it for a few weeks. I rose early, 4 am, and headed up through Banks, then Lowman, then Stanley, and pulled off at the Redfish Lake turnoff. I arrived at about 6:45 and the light had just…

  • Birthday Photobooth

    Birthday Photobooth

    The years march on. There are many evidences of the passing of time, but none so obvious as the aging of your children. And my precious little girl has turned 9. That means, that it’s been 9 years since I tucked her tiny little body into the car seat at the hospital for the first…

    Super Awesome Family Weekend Roadtrip

    As a family, we wanted to do a little adventuring this summer. This spring we talked about a few things and definitely wanted to see Craters of the Moon. Finally, we made some plans for this last weekend. They were actually pretty impromptu, but we had soooo much fun. It was quick though, so we…

  • Guys Camping Trip – Bull Trout Lake

    Guys Camping Trip – Bull Trout Lake

    Went for a little camping trip with some friends this weekend. In an effort to enjoy myself, which I did, I left my camera in the bag more than I normally would. The weather was just perfect. We hiked some of the most beautiful country in the world, and I did take a few shots.

  • DIY Soccer Goals

    DIY Soccer Goals

    The kids and I wanted some goals for our backyard soccer games. I thought it would be a fun little project for us this afternoon. They turned out really nice, so I thought I’d share. The whole set, including the glue only cost $30 for 2 goals. The goal ends up being about 5′ wide…

    The Idaho Cattle Association turned 100 years old. How do they celebrate? Well, run some cattle up the middle of Chinden of course. 🙂 The event was short and sweet and I thought a fitting way to celebrate their centennial.
