| Boise State Broncos Stadium seats 37,000 fans and has a unique blue playing field. As we are typing this blog post, the Broncos are playing a big game against the University of Washington Huskies (in Seattle). |

| Rafters in the Boise River...shortly after this photo was taken the raft turned over and all parties were dunked in the cold River! |
 |
| Boise is very hiker and biker friendly with the 25-mile Boise Greenbelt that links over 850 acres of parks and natural areas along the Boise River. |
 |
| There are several sets of rapids that rafters and floaters enjoy; every year over 100,000 people have fun braving the River. |

| The #1 thing to do in Boise is to float the River. We decided to partake in the fun on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. We made our purchases at the local sporting goods store and started our trip at Boise's Barber Park. We finished the 6 mile ride at Ann Morrison Park. |
 |
| More rapids we conquered in the float! |
 |
| Our rig - the "River Run" - two seats for twice the fun! |
 |
| Before the float - very exciting! (Well, one of us is showing their excitement....) |
 |
| In some parts we could float lazily down the River and enjoy the sun and wildlife! We completed the float in just under 2 hours. |
 |
| Ahhhhhh........... |
 |
There were a lot of rafts and floats in the River this long holiday weekend. |
