My sister was in town for vacation and for Owen's baptism so they came over one night. Our neighbor told us that you could fish the ponds in our neighborhood so we told Tyler to bring his fishing pole over. Sure enough, the fish were easy picking. I am pretty sure that this was Tyler's first fish that he caught. He was so excited at one point when he was told to hold off on casting so that his line could be untangled, he pointed to the ground, stomped one foot and said, "but I am fishing right now!"
(Owen and Grandpa talking about all of the fish that Tyler caught - I think 5 in total!)
Some of the other Boise highlights that we have experienced thus far are going to alive after five last Wednesday, which was great. Each Wednesday, they have music, food and beer in downtown Boise and the people pack in and sweat out the summer air with ice cold beers in hand. I also took Chris to enjoy his first snow cone. Growing up in Boise, I thought it was normal to have a snowshack on every corner with about 50 flavors of shaved ice. This was a phenomenon to Chris and so I had to take him to enjoy his first Boise snowcone. I don't know if he was really impressed with the ice covered in sugar syrup, but it is more about the experience right? We also got to have my other nephew Brad over for dinner one night. He showed us his moves on the trampoline and challenged Chris to a game of Horse.

Bella is also loving her yard and house. Her favorite things to do are search for sticks and other things to eat in the yard, monitor the turkeys from her post in the living room and "help" dig holes when we plant things in the yard.
