Summer Break 2016 - Week 8


Week 8 of summer break was HOT! We had a really fun time going swimming as a family on Monday - I think the kids could have stayed in the pool all day. I was surprised at how much Bradley liked the pool compared to earlier in the summer... Matt suggested it might be because the pool is warmer now than it was at the beginning of the summer :-) It was nice seeing how much more comfortable Tyler was in the pool and I could see that Kylee was so much more confident and a better swimmer.

The highlight of the week, though, was definitely our Passport to Boise adventure - a hike in the foothills with Richard the Mule. Richard (along with his owner Matt), pack up coffee and hot chocolate into the foothills to share. On our adventure, he packed popsicles :-) We learned about the difference between a donkey and a mule, how long mules can live, how much weight they can pack, and more. The kids thought it was pretty cool to feed the mule too. It was such a lovely morning!
