We had such a great time at the Discovery Center. I thought we'd enjoy an hour or two "discovering". We ended up exploring and playing there for almost 4 hours! We were so hungry by the time we left because it was well past lunch.
Baby birds in their nest at the Boise Zoo
Saber Turtle
Hubby joined in the fun too!
We accidentally discovered this black light golf place and just had to try it out.
Farmer's Market
Boysenberry face (the kids devoured the baskets of boysenberries that we bought at the farmer's market)
We took a train ride along the beautiful Payette River. The train left from a quaint little town called Horseshoe Bend. Hubby and I were taken with the town. Even talked about what it would be like to move there! Don't worry, we weren't that serious, but it really was a beautiful little valley.
In our current history studies, we are learning about The Middle Ages and one of the things we recently learned about is falconry. Well, it turns out the World Center for Birds of Prey is right in Boise, and they have the most comprehensive and amazing center and library dedicated solely to falconry! How convenient huh? This place was great! At the main center, there were many birds of prey to see (hawks, peregrine falcons, even a California Condor), and there were so many interesting interactive exhibits thoughout. Then we went to the falconry library and learned so much about falconry and it's history as well as the popularity of it in modern times. It was great way to solidify the learning.
I took this picture because I wish I had this map on my wall!!
Finally, a fun day at home. How many kids can fit in a princess castle? They put this in their "club closet". Yes, it's the members of the Crazy Lemon Comet Club all crammed into one little castle!
