They just opened on Wednesday and had a full place and a line out the door on Saturday. Delicious options with a variety of unique and classic flavors. You could smell the fresh waffle cones being cooked before even walking in. That was enough to get our mouth watering.

Zoo Boise is making up for a year of missed fun in one spectacular day. Howliday Pawlooza is a full day of packed holiday fun. By holiday I mean just about every major holiday all rolled into one amazing eventful day. The zoo will be decorated with holiday themed areas. Christmas with Santa, Easter with an Easter bunny, Halloween and more.

After a year off, this is a much welcomed returning event for families. Mark your calendars for Friday evenings starting June 11th through August 20th. Grab snacks and blankets or chairs.

We have had a blustery week here and to make the most of it, I cracked out the kites that have been hiding in the garage for months. Here are some other fun windy day activities for the Treasure Valley.

As a Treasure Valley parent, you're always looking for fun things to do with the kids. Thankfully the Boise area has a lot to offer for families, which is just one reason it always makes the list of great places to live. My family enjoys the Boise Aquarium, Zoo Boise, Roaring Springs, and we all miss Grinkers...
