The Lagoon

We've been stashing all our stale, freezer-burned, and on-the-verge-of-moldy bread in the freezer for months, along with a few leftover waffles. We broke it out and drove to The Lagoon, which is basically a big man-made pond in one of Boise's many, many parks by the river. Ducks and Canada geese love The Lagoon, so we love to dispose of our old bread there.
At first, we had to lure the birds out of the water. After we emptied our bags of bread, Jared found his favorite goose-related pastime, chasing them back into the water!
Last year, the bottoms of our shoes were so caked with goose poop that they sat outside for days, while I worked up the nerve to wash them. So I just about died when Jared bailed and slid a few feet on his stomach. Somehow, he didn't get smeared. And our shoes weren't bad at all. Phew!
On our way home, we stopped by the Boise Depot, the old train station. It's pretty cool, because it's up on a bluff, and lit up at night, so it's quite a landmark. It's surrounded by beautiful gardens with old stone steps, ponds, and creeks. We'll be going back sometime for family photos, I'm sure!
It also has a great view of downtown Boise, straight up Capitol Boulevard.
The Proclamation on the Family mentions that we should spend time with our families doing wholesome recreational activities. I think we did a pretty good job of that!

Oops! Almost forgot to link you to our other photos of our day. I got some good ones!
