4:45am? Dad...?

The heat wave was cramping our style, so the only way for us to try and stay on schedule was to leave at dawn. So, the alarm went off at 4:45am and we broke camp and were pedaling by 5:45. We were met with a perfect morning, as we left for Ontario and perhaps Caldwell. We took a few shortcuts and cut through acre after acre of farmland, following the Snake River and the tremendous amount of water they have in the region for irrigation. The heat did shut us down around 10am, so Ontario we stopped. We checked out the new Pixar movie, Wall-E, loved it, and the boys got to play in a Carl's Jr Playground for awhile, life is good. Off to Caldwell to meet up with the Daughertys, then to Meridian for some Boondocks Amusement Park fun. A storm blew in, so the boys had to endure an extended couple of hours at Boondocks, how unfortunate for them. A quick evening trek to Boise with the end now in sight. I'm sad that it's coming to an end, we're having a blast, but are really missing Hannah and Kelly a lot.
