Photo A Day – 4 and Snowshoeing

Groomed

Today was a glorious day. We went from snowshoeing (it went much better than the last time) at Bogus Basin in the morning, to bike riding in the 63 degree weather in the valley. It was like spring time and the people of Boise were out in force soaking up the vitamin D. Today was a perfect reason to live in Boise.

I think Porter’s highlight was our bike ride to the local school’s playground. We saw people playing volleyball, basketball and soccer. The entire time we were playing on the jungle gym he was shouting “BALL! BALL! BALL!” On our ride home he kindly waved and shouted “BYE!” To every person, moving car and animal. He then proceeded to explore our backyard for another 45 minutes where he literally played in the dirt. I think it’s time for a sand box. He was a very happy and tired boy by the end of this very excellent day.

We’ve been up that mountain! It’s Squaw Butte.

Bushwhacking with baby. Not ready. Lesson learned.

I have found heaven. A place where it’s always temperate, slightly damp and flowers bloom all year long. It’s Edwards Greenhouse. I think I shall live there. I couldn’t resist showing the rest of the photos I took there today at our garden class.

Bloomin’ Babies Library Time

Every Wednesday and Thursday at the Main Boise Library! they have Bloomin’ Babies Story time with Azam, one of the children’s librarians. As far as I’m concerned she has the best job ever. She reads 4-5 books, sings songs, does puppets and rhyming words. Porter and I love the entertainment and I love getting to watch all the moms and dads with their babies.

After story time Porter gets to explore the kids section of the library, plays with the kid puzzles and box ‘o dinos. I’m really looking forward to warmer weather when we can ride our bike to the Library! and then go play at the park across the river. Even better, it’s totally free.

Azam makes the books so very interesting.

Porter doing his darnedest to understand the Dewey Decimal System.
