Our boys are away....

Our boys got on an airplane today in Boise, ID and flew to their grandparents in Arizona.  They were so excited and seem to be having a wonderful time.

for the wonderful chronicle of the boys fun.

 Mean while Stuart and I went on a little mini trip back in time to our days of nomadic life style.  Here we are camping out of the back of our car on National Forest land in a sweet little spot we found near the take-out for our kayak run the next day. 

Unfortunately we took no pictures of our blissful 2 days of boating and camping so words will just have to suffice.  We kayaked on the North Fork of the Payette river on the Cabartan section. (Class II-III)  The water was warm and the scenery was lovely.  We headed over to the South Fork to camp at Pine Flat Campground.  About 1/2 mile down stream at the end of a lovely trail there was a hot spring.  The spring came out of a hole in the rocks about 30 feet up and came tumbling down in this hot waterfall.  It dropped into a pool about 12 inches deep and the perfect temperature for soaking.  The next day we boated on the Canyon Section (Class III-IV).  It was lovely and wonderful.  After a day on the river we got in the car and headed back to Walla Walla.   We have had a productive week working and getting things done on the house project and tomorrow we head back to Boise to pick up the boys.
