John and Barb had a wedding to go to, so they dropped the boys off. Mom and I took all the kids out to Julia Davis Park to ride the paddle boats! Rowan and Nadine loved it. Rowan especially since he got to "drive." I let him steer the boat. It was a lot of work since I was the only one who could reach the peddles and I could barely do that.
Andrew road with mom and Jourdyn and Nathan rode together.
This morning mom, Nadine and I got up and went downtown for the 8th Street Farmer's Market. The city shuts down the whole street for market vendors, arts & crafters, vinters, basically all local stuff. They have folk artists playing on different corners. We were amazed at how many people were there.
My favorite artist there was Miss Courageous pop jewelry & accessories. She took game pieces, like Scrabble, dominoes, and so forth and made really cute and sassy jewelry out of them. Another interesting one was the Diva of Duct Tape.
We also so Dorothy, Glenda the Good Witch, the wicked witch, the cowardly lion, and the scarecrow.
Today the kids and I met mom for lunch at McDonald's. After lunch we went to a bookstore across the street called "Desert Books". Mom thought it was a Christian Bookstore but it was a Mormon Bookstore. They had a lot of things like the Christian Bookstore. It was basically the same set up just all religious books were Mormon. They also sold secular books. It was nice. And interesting as well.
After that, mom went back to work and I took the kids to Ann Morrison Park downtown. The nice thing about Boise is the city parks. They are awesome and beautiful. You've already seen Julia Davis Park.
Rowan and Nadine wore themselves ragged.
