Friday morning we left Idaho Falls headed for Boise early as we were excited to see the kids. Our first stop was Massacre Rocks, an area along the Snake River that was very picturesque because of the lava deposited here millions of years ago. Next was a state park along the Oregon Trail that was very beautiful and had great views of the Snake River.
Following the Snake River along I84 we saw great expanses of irrigated farmland bursting with alfalfa hay, some potatoes, sugar beets, corn and wheat. We stopped in Jerome and had lunch at a new Mexican restaurant with Matt Jones, a salesman I worked with at Ivesco. I got to see Tim Harberd, another salesperson that I had worked with also. From there we drove straight to Cory and Tiffany's home in Boise.

Friday night we grilled some great beef and ate very well. On Saturday we brunched in downtown Boise and walked through a very large and diverse farmers market. Cory and I rode cruiser bicycles to downtown and back (uphill both ways) which made some of my muscles scream. (Don't tell Cory, he thinks I had no pain at all.)
Saturday evening Cory and Tiffany went to an 80's theme party and dressed up very well for the occasion. We tagged along for a couple of hours and met many of their friends and enjoyed ourselves hanging out with a younger crowd. We left early and went back to Cory and Tiffany's and had a nice quiet evening watching movies in HD!!!!!
On Sunday we went to the Birds of Prey Museum and then to the Birds of Prey area near the Owyhee Mountains and along the Snake River near Kuna, ID just south of Boise. We saw some great birds at the museum and beautiful scenes of the Snake River along the cliffs. Afterward, we went to a great Mexican restaurant in Kuna, went to COSTCO for ribs to grill tomorrow and back to Cory's and Tiffany's for a visit with Lee and Debbie Svangstu and their two kids, Ella and Colton.
