Todd and I have picked up a new sport (for us) this summer - mountain bike riding! We have enjoyed our road bikes for a number of years, but given all the foothills surrounding Boise, we thought it would be fun to try the mountain version. It is fun to explore different trails and a challenge to adjust to a different riding style.
Todd even got a new bike rack for the 4Runner. We fit in with the Boise crowd now! This is Rocky Canyon. You climb about 5 miles and 2,000 vertical feet to Aldape Summit and the tree line starts. It is famous for the annual Race to Robie Creek -- the hardest 1/2 marathon in the Northwest. Todd ran it in April. I think he's crazy.
Another favorite spot - half way up the climb you get a great view of the Boise valley. The best part about the climb up is the ride back down! Too fun.
We love how our house turned out! Larry and John did a fantastic job and offer great customer service. Here's how it turned out. . .
My father-in-law made the planter boxes for our anniversary. Todd and I painted them to match the house. A good summer project. Now if I can only keep the flowers alive. . .My great friend David from Indianapolis helped with the interior decorating. I would be lost without him.
