Train Depot

To make the summer more enjoyable for all of us, we decided to go on "field trips" once a week to places we might not otherwise go. Today was our fourth week and of course I've forgotten our camera every time. I finally turned back for it this time. The first week we visited a pet store and then watched employees make donuts at Krispy Kremes. The next week we played at Planet Kid (an indoor playground) and had some others join us. Last week we tried out the free bowling (which turns out not to be so free with the charge of shoe rentals). This week we first stopped at the Train Depot and learned all about Old Mike, a locomotive engine that is retired there. Now that I think about it, I should have gotten pictures in front of the train. Oh well. We did get pictures in front of the depot and overlooking the city of Boise. The kids loved watching the fish in the ponds.
