I often tell people how wonderful it was to live in Portland because it is such a great city. Last week when Mary and Jackson were here, I was reminded that Boise is pretty great as well!
Jackson loved our visit to the Discovery Center of Idaho. It's small but full of fun things to do. Our dinosaur crazy boy particularly loved the T-Rex exhibit.
His favorite in the 'hands-on' area was the train set. No surprise there!
Next we did paddle boats on the Julia Davis Park Lagoon and feed the ducks way too much popcorn!

Jackson liked it much more than his facial expression shows!
I felt guilty about the popcorn when I learned that this duck's deformity is caused by a nutritional deficiency in vitamins and minerals combined with a high level of carbohydrates and sugars - like in the bread people feed them. He will never be able to fly. Hopefully popcorn wasn't as bad.
Friday evening we joined John, Monica and Isabella at the Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic to see the "Night Glow". Just us and 100,000 of our closest friends! It was spectacular!
The finale was a combination drone and balloon show that highlighted Idaho.
We loved it!
Of course my favorite part was watching these cute cousins playing together.
I love being a Grandma! And I'm so happy that Mary and Jackson came to visit!!!
