Summa

Oh summer, thanks to going to school in Rexburg you start in August and end halfway through September for me. But I think I did a decent job of compressing a lot of summer into a not very long time, now that it's starting to cool a bit (Not too much mind you, it's still warm) I'm going to have to do a recap.

Hyde Park Street Fair

One of the coolest little known events in Boise, it's our very own Hippie festival in the north end. Everything from homemade Tiki masks to hemp-based ice cream and 4, count em, 4 tie dying stands, all in one convenient location at Camel's Back Park.

Floating the Boise River

This is an annual tradition for Boiseans, every day from June throuh September in Boise you'll see tons of people floating the river, half of them drunk, the other half might as well be. Inner tubes, rafts, plywood, life vests, logs, you name it, will be used as flotation devices as people look for a relaxing way to cool off. It can take from one to three hours depending on how fast the current is and whether you paddle the whole way or stop to eat some hot dogs at Julia Davis park. I don't need to tell anyone this who lives in Boise but man what a sweet tradition this is. The water's cold but the air is warm, the trees are huge, and the sky is blue. Classic Idaho summer baby.

The Tour de Fat

Umm... this is a crazy freaky Bike Parade right through downtown. This picture says it all

Arctic Monkeys

Oh man, I know I already posted about this, but what a sick concert. Probably tied for best I've ever witnessed. It was sick.

Anywhoo, there's more but I'm tired and it was awesome. The End.
