Saturday morning was Kuna Days fun, Saturday afternoon was Boise River fun. Tiffani was invited to her friend's birthday party, which has always been floating the Boise River. The popular part of the river to float is Barber Park to Ann Morrison Park (about 6 miles of river). Les & I decided we'd go down to the River and see if we could catch Tiffani floating by and get some pictures. So we had a nice walk along part of the greenbelt and were headed to the takeout point to watch and wait. We got almost to that point and decided that maybe we'd wait back a little way and found a great spot to sit by the river and just enjoy the afternoon. Yep, he talked me into walking out into the river some... He went about half way across. The water was so clear and sitting in the shade, the breeze felt great on the hot afternoon. It was wonderful. We had just been deciding how long to wait since it'd been over an hour (it does take about 2 hours or more to float that stretch) and here they came floating by. Missed the picture - the camera focused on the leaves of the tree instead. So Les took the camera and ran down to the take out and got a couple of shots of them coming in.
A big group of "kids" were jumping from the tree in the middle of the River here. The guy on the branch in the middle of the picture did a back flip off of it!! The bridge in the background in the Capitol Blvd. bridge.
From our little observation point, Les zoomed in on the footbridge in Ann Morrison Park. The take out for floaters is on either side of the footbridge.
Just a random picture of lots of floaters - tubes, rafts, air mattresses (really! we saw 2 twins & a queen), kayaks.
Just thought this was too cute - the little kid in the front of the blue inflatable canoe, just kicked back, relaxing while Dad did all the rowing.

Tiffani in the raft with Michala (laying down ?), Larry (M's dad), and 2 other party guests.
The group again. :)
Tiffani loves this yearly adventure with Michala. Maybe one day the family will convince me to go raft the Boise River... Until then, sitting on the bank enjoying the water, the weather, and especially the company - that works for me! :)
