Swimming Weekend

We spent a majority of our weekend in the water. On Friday night we went to Quinn's Pond in Boise, which is a beautiful hidden gem. Driving up I thought we were going to get our car stolen. It was a pretty bad looking neighborhood, at least for Boise. But when we got there, there was this beautiful warm inlet of the Boise River. The water was so nice and refreshing and Zach is definitely a water baby. He was splashing and kicking the WHOLE time.

There were paddle boarders and SURFERS. Yes, surfers in Boise. On the other side of the pond, there is a rapid, where if you position yourself just right, the water coming down and the water pushing back will hold you in one spot. So people would hop on surf boards or kayaks and try to stay in the rapid as long as they could. I loved that spot and it made me forget that I was in Idaho for a while.

Today we went paddle boating. We chased ducks on our boat and tried spot all the fishes and there were some pretty big ones.

 Then finally, this afternoon we went to the YMCA with some friends who had free passes. They had a splash park for little kids and Zach loved the little fountains and he also had himself an admirer. She even kissed him on the cheek! Zach, however, was not at all interested in her.

 

I was proud of my little boy. So far he has shown very good taste in girls. The girl at the Y seemed bossy and pushed the water down with her foot so it wouldn't spray up for him to play with. But he smiles and flirts the nice ones! Keep it up, Zach!  (Poor baby just wanted to play.)
