Canoeing at centennial park
We were so excited this year when we found out Nolan would get Labor Day off.
It was suppose to be perfect weather, so we loaded up our canoe and decided to canoe the snake river through the Twin Falls Gorge.
Gary and Susy joined us and they were a huge help keeping James contained. Below you can see the bridge that we drive over every time we go to twin. It was strange being below it.
The one time we did let him into the canoe with us, he suddenly leaned a little too far to dip his hand in the water and fell out. The water was COLD, but he stayed really happy and un-phased by it all.
I really loved the peacefulness of the water. Having the talk rock walls on either side of us made it feel so secluded. There were little "Caves" all along the water line.
After about an hour of paddling you get to some beautiful waterfalls.
This was the end of our journey and we parked our vessels and wandered around the rocks for a bit.
It was here that I learned how much my kids love walking and exploring among-st the rocks.
Emma especially could have done this for another 30 minutes.
Grace was happy to be off the canoe, although I don't know what's so hard about sitting in a canoe being fed treats while someone else paddles you through a river. haha!
Afterwards we went to Gary and Susy's for a wonderful dinner. It was a perfect day. I sure loved having Nolan with us!

THese are great pictures, like every one of them! I love the feeling of Idaho I get looking at this. So scenic, peaceful, and fun. And you so pretty sis.
That looks like so much fun! I'm glad the whole canoe didn't tip over! I would have been so scared! Ha! Glad you got to spend the holiday together!
What a fun trip. It looked so neat along the river. I think Gary looks like my Uncle Howard Johnson. You look so cute Ashley and young for having 4 kids.
