We spent most of August hurriedly marking family outings off our summer to-do list.

First stop was Les Bois Park to watch some horse racing. Henry had wanted to visit the park last summer but we never found the time. It cost 0 bucks for us to enter the park and we left with 20 of the 40 dollars we took for snacks and bets. I'd call the two hours we spent watching the horses a superfecta win!



A week to the day following our visit to the track, we rode our bikes to the baseball field and took in a Hawks game. The Hawks won and the boys scored some miniature ball caps as souvenirs. It was one homerun of an evening!



A few days later, we mounted our bikes again and rode all the way to town to join the Tour de Fat bike parade. The boys dressed up as cowboys. Well, kinda. They looked more like hicks with their cutoff jean shorts and boy-tanks (remember how there were no "nice shirts" for the first day of school?) but I didn't want them to overheat in regular cowboy clothes - it gets hot in August. They were also sporting penciled in mustaches and cap guns courtesy of the Best Mom Ever!



We also spent a Saturday night at the Western Idaho Fair but I've probably left you with enough photos for one post.
