I just realized I hadn't posted our visit to the Idaho Botanical Gardens on the blog yet, & that was nearly 3 months ago.
The boys & I met Jeff there & did a little exploring...these pictures are really making me miss the warm weather. And it's not exactly "warm" in October but we've been FREEZING the last few weeks & I am ready for Spring.
Kamden found a cave to play Lion...or Panther, I can't really remember what he was but it was some kind of wild animal.
He does a great impression, doesn't he?
The boys especially loved the Koi pond, it reminded us all of our days in Orofino with the fish pond right in our front yard where we spent warm summer nights feeding the fish & watching the frogs jump.
If you're wondering what Snoopy is doing at the Botanical Garden, we went during the "Scarecrow Walk" where different schools & organizations sponsor & create a Scarecrow, then the visitors at the Garden vote on which was their favorite. We even had a map to help us find all of the Scarecrows. If you look to the left of Ethan you can see the back of the Charlie Brown Scarecrow.
I can't remember what this guy was supposed to be but he was one of our favorites.
Here is the Hyena we kept seeing along the trail...
& his sidekick, Baby Hyena...
Looking West over Boise...aren't those Fall leaves Beautiful?
I would take those any day over the bare, frozen ones we've been looking at for months now.

Doesn't everyone look THRILLED that we stopped to take time for a picture of Oregon where Aunt Kristen & Isabelle live?
Ethan & Sacajawea...this also brought back memories of living in Orofino when we would drive to Lewiston for groceries & pass the large statue of her with Lewis & Clark & everyone would say her name in their funniest voice.
We even spotted a cute little bunny rabbit while on the walking path.
Here's hoping for a quick end to Winter so we can get back outdoors!
