Table Rock and Mexican food

This afternoon Flower and I went on an outing to Table Rock. I don't even recall the last time I was there. Several times last summer we did the hike, never making it to the top. The farthest we went was three quarters of the way. But I really wanted to enjoy the view so we drove! It's really beautiful and I love the Boise skyline and seeing downtown and all that good stuff. Flower had fun climbing on all the rocks and exploring. I was also delighted at the condition of the place. Two of my friends have mentioned going recently and thankfully we didn't experience any of the trash/garbage/graffiti that they spoke of. There was some graffiti on rocks below but I also must say I find beauty in tastefully done graffiti on rocks and stuff. But all the vulgar stuff had been painted over on the bench and main area. There was also no trash to be found! We were also there by ourselves! Happy Happy!






I love her style of pairing a black shirt, jeans and a tutu together! :) She rocks.
This bench is so great. A perfect place to sit/stand/lay and take it all in.





A view of the Old Penitentiary from way up high.
I think it's neat when flowers are growing up out of rocks.

What a sweet little bee.
I was trying to go in for a closer shot and Flower ran up and scared it away.
Love these little adventures we share.
Tonight we went out to dinner at Casa Amigo's with Kris and Jer. We found something to talk about that made Jerry roll his eyes and blush simultaneously. It was hilarious. I still giggle just thinking about it. :)
My weekend is off to a great start. I hope yours is.

Table Rock

Flower and I hiked Table Rock trail. She did awesome. She made it about 3/4 of the way to the top before she got tired and we turned around. I never had to hold her.
I took the above photo of Table Rock from where we started so you could get an idea of how long our hike was. Table Rock is at the top of the slightly snow covered hill on the right. You can just barely see a cross if you blow up the photo.
I just love the entire area above and around the Old Idaho Penitentiary. So much history!

It was going to be some great exercise and Flower was so excited!

We're getting closer!
Way up around the bend there Flower decided she was all done so we turned around and headed back down. Everyone that passed us would ask how old she was. They were so impressed that a 2.5 year old was walking it and even keeping a pretty good pace! :o)
On our way back down we took some time to enjoy the view of the city! Beautiful!


She is the best little hiking buddy! :)
