VACATION - Day 3, 4, and 5

We went swimming on Monday (day 3) and had family movie night. Nothing too exciting. Actually, we didn't do anything too exciting Tuesday (day 4) either. I took the boys swimming some more while Mick golfed at his first golf course (Tamarack). Then we had another family movie night.

On Wednesday (day 5) we were planning on riding the chairlift to the top of the mountain at Brundage Mountain Resort, but it wasn't open until July. So, after our scenic drive around Payette Lake, stopping to admire waterfalls...

stopping to throw rocks...

We decided to go on our second hike to Goose Creek Falls. What we didn't realize was that this hike was not mostly flat like our earlier hike. It was mostly downhill on the way to the falls (1 1/4 mile) and then uphill the way back (I guess that's obvious). Needless to say, it took us about 2 1/2 hours to do it. We only spent probably 5 minutes at the falls because there was no flat spot to really sit and enjoy it. Thank goodness we found some walking sticks to help us. This picture was taken at the beginning of the hike - notice the smiles. I guess it's kind of hard to see - my camera's old and not the greatest, but I'm excited to say that I just ordered a new digital camera today. YEAH! A little too late for this vacation, but I'm excited to use it.Here is a picture of the falls. The ledge made me VERY nervous, but it was beautiful.When we got back to our condo we went swimming AGAIN and took the boys out to Chinese food on the lake. Great view with delicious food - can't beat that.
