We got up, ate breakfast at the campsite and then drove to Banbury to rent kayaks. We rented tandem kayaks so Matt and Seth rode together and Liam and I rode together. The first part of the kayaking trip was downstream so it wasn't difficult. We took our time and looked around and explored a bit. We got to Blue Heart in about 30 minutes. We rode around and marveled at the clear water and blue bottom. You could see fish swimming on the bottom. Then we docked our ...

We got up, ate breakfast and I started packing. The boys worked on their memory work for school. Matt worked. I got everything packed by 1 and we left Idaho Falls around 1:15. We drove southwest and stopped briefly in American Falls but there was nothing to see. Soon afterwards we had to stop at a rest stop so Seth could use the restroom and we spotted signs for an historical marker. We took the paved trail that was probably half a mile long and wound under the...

The boys had scones again this morning and then we went to the aquarium in Idaho Falls. It is a tiny aquarium but interactive and the boys enjoyed it. They let shrimp and doctor fish eat the dead skin off of their fingers. We also touched stingrays and pet a porcupine. I think the porcupine was their favorite. Seth wants a porcupine, figured out where to keep it at home and what to name it. After the aquarium we stopped at the grocery store and then went back to...

The boys and I got up, I made scones for breakfast and then we went to the Idaho Falls Zoo, which was really close. Liam's favorite animals were the wallabies, owl and lions. Seth said he liked all the animals but he talked about the sloth bear the most. The zoo was small but worth visiting. The boys and I ate lunch at the rental house and then did some school work. When Matt got off of work we drove to Mesa Falls. We walked down to the Upper Falls first and saw...

This morning I made breakfast and then the boys and I did our schoolwork. We ate lunch and finished up our schoolwork. Matt got off work and then we rode our bikes downtown to a bike shop to see if we could find a kickstand for my bike. The bike shop did not have the right size kickstand. So we rode our bikes down to the river to see the falls and to ride our bikes down the bike path. We stopped along the way and let the boys play on the playground and take pict...
