This is a simple (patchy) record of my comings and goings, but if that's your sort of thing, knock yourself out.

Independence in Idaho
I've celebrated the Fourth of July in Arizona most all of my life, except for 2 years in Canada. This year, I celebrated in Boise. We had Thursday and Friday off school, so we made a LONG weekend out of it by leaving Rexburg Wednesday night. I'll give you the highlights rather than the play-by-play.
-We saw Transformers 2. It was okay. I wanted to play editor and chop out several characters and lines. A lot of it was completely unneccesary and dumb. But the battle sequences were really impressive.
-We went to Eagle Island Park and swam in the lake and rode the water slide. The water in the lake was a pale brown -not too inviting, but still fun.
-We went and played around in downtown Boise and had dinner on the balcony that overlooks downtown main. They had live entertainment -very cool. After dinner, we played in a fountain and some of my friends got SOAKED.
-I got to meet the families of a few of my friends.
-We floated the Boise River on an inner tube, then had a barbeque in the park while we waited for the fireworks to start.
-Watched the fireworks and had a blast!

I was waiting for the update! Thanks for your dilligence. Your life is so fun! It is starting to be corn and watermelon time here. You might want to schedule a trip before summer's through.
Swimming in brown water? That sounds like home to me!!
We missed you, but it looks like you had a great time. We all did too, but I heard a lot of "I wish Steve were here"s.
You're loved, man.
Hey Steven, sounds like you had a good time. Ahh...college life. I'm glad your taking advantage of every opportunity to go to new places & try new things. I've floated down a muddy river with friends a few times, I've never been so sunburned but it was a blast!
