a weekend picnic

we decided that since Mitchell has some days off this week we would not panic about trying to get the house all finished painted this morning. Mitchell decided at the beginning of summer that we should try to do a family outing once a week (at least). This weekend we went to garden city and found a small lake next to the Boise river and we had a picnic and a lot of fun!! We also went to the Hyde park (its like a cute old town neighborhood that's now all cool shops and restraints) Mitchell found an ice cream place called Goody's, early 1900's feel dark polished wood mirror backed shelves of jars of candy real homemade ice cream and sodas... ah. i love that old, old-time vintage feel. And the candy and ice cream was so yummy. Eli LOVED it. We got and Italian soda and a banana split. I so loved the atmosphere complete with those awesome old school glasses and glass banana split boat,... anyways i think i have discussed the awesome ice cream place enough. Here are tons of fabulous pictures from our day!
