Lately I've (Angie) been tired, not just physically tired, but emotionally tired as well. The roller coaster that has been the "normal" for our lives this past year has taken a toll. When I get tired like this I don't need to veg out in front of the tv or read a book, I need to get outside and enjoy God's creation. Luckily Mike understands this about me and after he came home from work last night suggested driving out to Celebration Park for a hike.
Celebration Park sits right on the Snake River. When we told the kids the name of the river, Macie's eyes got very big. We explained to her that the river wasn't called the "Snake River" because it's full of snakes.
Boise is only about an hour drive this side of the time zone line, so the sun stays up super late this time of year. We were still hiking past nine o' clock and it was still bright (yes we are a family of night owls).
There was most definitely a hatch going on and the fish were rising to the surface of the water like crazy. I could tell Mike wanted his fly rod so bad! Of course it in storage back home in Washington.
Here are a bunch of pictures. It is so pretty out here!

| Macie is really into bouldering (climbing rocks) right now. |
 |
| This is a converted railway bridge which is a walking path now. |

| When you are a mom you get the chance to suck up your pride and carry around princess lunch boxes your little girl "promised" she would carry on the hike. |

| So tired. |
