My Idaho Adventures!

I have been spoiled and overwhelmed with my recent adventures in our great State of Idaho.  In July alone, my family and I have played in Island Park, (rafted in Jackson Hole - which is not Idaho but we were on the Snake River so that still kind of counts!!), hiked in the Sawtooth Wilderness outside of Stanley, and explored City of Rocks National Reserve and Castle Rocks State Park!  Seriously, it just doesn't get much better than summer in Idaho.  And the rasberries are on in the backyard!  Awesome!  Enjoy a few of our recent pictures.  I will add more because it is only the middle of July!

Science Camp on KMVT Rise and Shine

I have so much to blog about during my recent adventures around Idaho, but today I will just post my visit to Rise and Shine on KMVT.  I am so grateful we can talk about Science Camp and the opportunity kids have to play with science.  The camps in Gooding and Twin Falls are coming up the week of July 29.

Summer is a great time for Energy Activities

Solar ovens are always a big hit at Science Camp, so here is a link to a family-friendly site with more activities like that.   The first day of summer was on Friday, so celebrate with some hands-on activities that let kids play with science!
