    A Hike at Camel’s Back Park

    It’s President’s Day and I have the day off. Jaidyn joined us for the day and we all decided to go out and get some exercise with a little hike down at Camel’s Back Park. The weather was almost perfect. Just a little cool and beautiful and sunny. This last one is a nice big…

    Awana Grand Prix – 2015

    The Awana Club at the Boise Vineyard held their annual Grand Prix on Saturday. Here are some photos, but as always, the photos are a pale example of the fun that was had by these amazing kids. Oh, and I took home 2nd for my awesomely painted number 42 car. 🙂

  • Ambrose ChiliFest 2014

    Ambrose ChiliFest 2014

    The Ambrose Chilifest was a hoot, once again. Strangely enough, Elizabeth told me the day prior, that Chilifest was her favorite day of the year, well, right after Thanksgiving anyway. Each year the school gathers to meet many of the new families, eat, have fun, and raise money to help support the teachers during the…

  • Mountain Home Air Show 2014

    Mountain Home Air Show 2014

    Mark and I gathered up our kids and drug them out to the air show. Mountain Home Air Force Base is about an hour drive for us but the Thunder Birds were going to be flying, so away we went. The parking lot was dusty, the walk to get into the show was long, and…

  • Picking Some Vegetables

    Picking Some Vegetables

    My wife and I had an amazing weekend together. To cap it all off, we were invited to pick vegetables from the overflowing garden of a friend of my mother-in-law. We gathered a few boxes and buckets and headed out to the farm in Eagle. Their place is gorgeous. They mentioned that they had hosted…

  • Rough Riding River Rafts

    Rough Riding River Rafts

    I shot some photos for a ministry in Banks last Saturday. On the way home, I stopped along the river long enough to take a few photos of the brave folks rafting down the rough waters of the Payette River. It looked like a ton of fun, and just a little scary. That last group…

  • Camping At Whoop-Em-Up

    Camping At Whoop-Em-Up

    My friend Mark and I needed to get out of town and enjoy God’s creation with our kids. We planned on doing this for a while, but still were ill prepared for some of it. We rode up together in my Durango. It seated us all fine, but when you figure in the food, clothes,…

  • Boulder Lake In August

    Boulder Lake In August

    We made a nice day hike on Saturday. Most of the family was riding up to Boulder Lake near McCall, Idaho in Tina’s Suburban, but if I went, we were one seat short. So I borrowed my dad’s Goldwing. What a fun ride! I was pretty tired when the day was over since my butt…

  • Off To The Races

    Off To The Races

    My friend and his little boy joined Travis and I for a guys night at the Meridian Speedway. We stopped at KFC on the way for a quick dinner, then headed in for some car racing action. The boys were a little restless from time to time, but they seemed to love the speeding action…

  • Pond On Fire

    Pond On Fire

    I went to the pond at McMillan and Eagle to take a few photos as the sun went down on Thursday evening. I wasn’t disappointed. The sky was lightly feathered with clouds, just enough to soften the beautiful sun as it went down. The tall grasses around the pond added a little interest and the…
