Pictures from Boise

Here's pictures of a few of the things we did during our two week stay in Boise. I didn't document the trip as well as I normally would since my camera was packed in our storage unit in Utah and I kept forgetting to take pictures with Ben's camera. We had so much fun while we were there and it was good to hang out with the Poole gang for two whole weeks! We hadn't seen Blake, Allyson and little Harper for sooo long and it was so good to get to hang out with them again and I always enjoy spending time with my mother and father-in-law. The week before Allyson and Blake got there Ben and I and his parents went to Stanley Idaho/Red Fish Lake for the day, and Ben went spear fishing in the ICE COLD water. I got in long enough to try and spear a fish, then realized I was too cold to move so I just watched Ben spear one and then got the heck out of there. I can handle cold water, but not FREEZING water. We also stopped at some hot springs on the way up there and they were in the coolest spot right next to a river. I think it's one of my new favorite places in Idaho. It was a fun day and such beauuutiful scenery.
Another fun trip everyone went on the second weekend we we there was up to McCall. We went the same weekend that me and Ben got engaged a year ago(awwww). A friend of the family let us stay in their cabin and use there boat so we went wake surfing both days we were there and it was so much fun. We also did a little dirt bike/four wheeling, BBQ-ing, and soaking in the hot tub at night.
Other than our trips to McCall and Stanley we ate a lot of good food, watched the twilight criterium downtown, went swimming, celebrated my sister-in-law and niece's birthdays, and of course I worked a lot of the time :) I can never get away from it haha. It is really nice though that I can go on a long trip like that and still be able to work.

The twilight Criterium (these guys were booking it!)
Red Fish Lake


He must not have know how cold the water was going to be ;)
After he caught them he would fling them off the spear...the people on shore seemed a little angry haha, but they were just carp!


Love those baby blues!
