Our Idaho Summer

So besides trying to camp, we have been enjoying the summer here in Idaho with other fun activities. I love that the days get hot, but evenings are always cool. I remember in Fresno even at 11pm it would be in the 90's. Here it is mild. Yesterday was 93 degrees but by evening there were thunder clouds, which turned into a crazy lightening storm with rain and a nice cool breeze.

Our summer so far has included the Cherry Festival in Emmit,evenings and/or morning walks, going to the park, swimming, hitting some garage sales and Bailey getting to ride her little pony again (See last years post for more info on her little pony friend) We are looking forward to more visiting family and the reunions during the next few months.


The irrigation canals are going again.They start in Spring and are full until fall when they stop the water. These canals are everywhere around here- winding throughout cities and subdivisions- that pump water to your sprinkler systems. You don't get monitored on how much water you can use...and its free!

Nick was too small to ride any rides, so he watched Bailey have all the fun while climbing on the bars!

Looks like so much fun! Now is when I really start missing Idaho. When it is way too hot here...and so nice there! Wish I wasn't so big and pregnant so we could come up for another visit! If you guys start missing the heat at all you are more than welcome to come visit us again! :)

I also like this time of year here. The thunder storms are pretty fun to watch. I have never seen lightning or heard thunder like I have here! I am glad you are all enjoying the summer!!!
