Take a bike ride – you don’t have to wait for it to cool off and the trails are calling….whether you ride in the hills, the parks or on the road – get on the two-wheeler and ride.  Take a walk – with your husband – with your kids, with your dog or just clear your mind -the weather is beautiful  – the past few days there has not been a cloud in the sky and just a hint of breeze!  If you are a runner – I run to clear my head – it is a great time to put some miles in before we are relegated to the treadmills!

There are some great events coming up!  One of the premier events of our area…the Thousand Springs Festival is this weekend at Ritter Island which is now part of the Thousand Springs State Park.  This is a benefit for the Southern Idaho Land Trust – go and enjoy – you will not be disappointed.  Oktoberfest in Downtown Twin Falls is October 2 and 3 – a can’t miss event.

Going back to my “mom” days – take in a cross-country event and cheer on the runners at your local high school or experience “Friday Night Lights” Idaho-style in any of our communities at the local high school football stadium…you will have a great time!

Last night, we went to see “To Kill a Mockingbird.”  This was the Montana Repertory Theatre’s performance as part the 2009-2010 Arts on Tour Season….it was a great performance.  We will not miss another performance – the arts are alive in our community!  

We hope you are having a wonderful fall – please know that any  time is a great time to visit – there is so much to see and do. 

Take care – be safe and we’ll see you soon in Southern Idaho
