Well we had a wonderful Saturday enjoying our friends and a record high of 80 degrees! To bad the weather isn't going to last. We first headed off to the MK Nature Center in the heart of downtown Boise. The kids loved the fish! There are little benches for the kids to climb on, so they can get a great view of the fish through the glass. While we were on our stroll, my husband, (leave it to him -he seriously can spot deer ANYWHERE) spotted a deer. The great wildlife you see while living right in Boise.
After the Nature Center we headed out for a hike that led up to Table Rock. We didn't go the whole way, but made it to the landing right below Table Rock. We still got some great views of downtown Boise. On our way back down my worst nightmare came through. I really don't have any fears in life, except one. SNAKES! I know out of all the hikes I've done through the foothills I have gotten pretty lucky by never encountering one. I am always expecting it to happen, and today it did. I am really glad it was this little, and not a rattlesnake, but it still scared the pants off of me. It darted right out at my foot as I walked by and I jumped about 5 feet forward freaked out. Our friend Jon ended up picking up the snake and made it quite the attraction with the kids.
