The kids and I had a full weekend in Boise - all three of them qualified for the Northwest Age Group Regionals Swim Champs that featured swimmers from as far away as Hawaii, Wyoming and Alaska. All three of them made it to Finals in at least one event and Charlotte got on the podium with an impressive 100 FR. It was really fun to see them achieve their goals at this meet.
We had a great Airbnb near downtown that was the perfect home base. Reed and I even got a ski day in at Bogus Basin on the day he didn't have any events. The snow was amazing and it for a smaller ski area, it had some great terrain. Edison, Reed, and I explored downtown Boise on Sunday in between prelims and finals. We found a cool plaza with an inflatable alien, an incredible play structure and slide (Reed was so bummed it was closed), and scooters. Reed has been wanting to ride an electric scooter since last summer so it was fun to see him actually get to play around with it. We also watched a movie in a very comfy theater. I was able to hop on the Boise River Greenbelt trail and throw down some miles on one of the afternoons while the kids rested. It is a really well-done path through the heart of downtown and through the Boise State Campus. It was a neat way to see the city.
