We have been spending a lot of time with our neighbors lately. We loved Boise already, but with this recent bloom of friendship, it feels like such a very good fit for us.
Tonight we had a super fun (and DELICIOUS!!!) cookout at S and T's house. After dinner we took a little nature walk with the kids.

| This adorable little path goes around the pond and is full of tracks to look at and rocks to throw in the water. |
 |
| BIG rocks |
 |
| O, E, and Amy chucking rocks in the lake. They scared the shit out of a great blue heron. |
Along the edge of the lake, they're clearing land for the new park that is going in. Right now, there are some glorious dirt piles. The big kids scrambled up them. Amy used a little boost from her friends, but she worked so hard to get up.

| Thanks Shana! |
 |
| She really was using all her little might |
 |
| Looking back from the top with surprise and pride. |
 |
| I did it!!!! |
 |
| This is the path through the neighborhood to the pond. Suddenly there's green green grass there. It's been so grey this winter, and it's dusty dry in the summer. |
