Don -- thanks for getting the info to me. It looks great. Below is some information I put together on "things to do" while folks are here. If you think it's a good idea, would you please forward on to everyone? I know the almost-three days will go by quickly and that they're pretty full already, but if there is some down time, or for those arriving early, or staying longer, this gives some ideas of additional things we can do according to what interests folks. Love you , and see you soon -- Gayle
1. www.roaringsprings.com
Fun waterpark near our homes. Depending on when folks get here and how they stay, Tuesdays is Two-for-Tuesdays (buy one pass, get one free, comes out to about $13 per person), and on Thursdays after 3 p.m., admission is only $10. Our kids love going ā?" could be a fun outing for all of them!
2. www.visitidaho.org/thingstodo
MK Nature Center This spot is really close to the Veterans home where Dad is staying. Itā?Ts very nice, in downtown Boise, and easily accessible by wheelchair. It might be a nice things to do on Wednesday before the evening festivities for those who would like to go.The MK Nature Center is a sample of wild Idaho. The mountain stream with its logjams and waterfall, the wetlands pond circled with willows and cattails, and the high desert garden with sagebrush and other native plants represent major ecosystems in the state. Trout, whitefish, kokanee, ducks, geese, great blue herons, songbirds, and mink are just some of the wildlife that live here. The Center is open from dawn to dusk, every day of the year, and is free.
3. www.cityofboise.org.BoiseRiver
This is a tradition in Boise - floating the river. Below is more information. This could be a lot of fun for those arriving early or staying longer. It takes about three hours to do.
RAFT AND TUBE RENTAL OPERATIONSRental equipment is available to the public at the Barber Park rental office. Floaters will find everything from new deluxe inner tubes to new rafts and inflatable kayaks available for rent. All equipment rentals come with life-vests.
Rental fees are charged in 3-hour blocks (the typical length of time it takes to float the river) and range from $6 for inner tubes to $50 for the 6-person raft. A security deposit and rental agreement is required with each equipment rental. The Barber Park rental office is open every day of the week 12pm to 5pm Monday thru Friday and from 11am to 6pm on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.RIVER SHUTTLE OPERATIONSSpecial shuttle bus service between Barber Park and Ann Morrison Park runs 7-days a week, from 1-8pm on weekdays, and from 1-9pm on weekends and holidays. The shuttle leaves Barber Park every hour on the half-hour and Ann Morrison Park every hour on the hour. The fee for this shuttle service is $2 per person.
Parking at Barber Park is charged by the carload and runs $5 Monday thru Thursday and $6 on Friday, Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. The Barber Park parking fees are charged to vehicles between the hours of 10am and 7:30pm.
4. Other things to do:
Downtown Boise
Downtown Boise is a nice place to just walk around and browse. Several art galleries are downtown, as is the old Boise Depot (now an office complex & museum where Craig works he’d be happy to give a tour), the 100+ year-old Idaho Candy Co., various shops, lots of restaurants, BODO ( a complex of restaurants, shops, movie theater, etc.), the Capitol Building (closed for a 2-year renovation, but nice grounds), etc.
Boise Towne Square Mall for those who have to shop. It also includes a Cheesecake Factory, yum.
World Center for the Birds of Prey www.peregrinefund.org
Warhawk Air Museum www.warhawkairmuseum.org
Julia Davis Park downtown Boise, includes a zoo, paddle boats, etc. www.cityofboiseorg/parks/Park_facilities
Majestic Theater just a couple minutes from mom and dad’s home (and ours), so if there’s a movie that we want to catch it’d be easy to do.
Meridian Speedway is also just a few minutes from our homes. www.na-motorsports.com/Tracks/ID/Meridian
Also, following the dinner at Epi’s Tuesday night, Brianne (Dee’s daughter) will be singing downtown at Chandler’s, a nice restaurant/lounge (from about 7 p.m. to midnight). We’ve enjoyed going down there and sitting on the patio to listen to good jazz and kick back for a while. Might be a nice way to extend the evening for those who would like.

Greetings!
July is rapidly approaching, it is hard to imagine that the longest day of the year will be here on Friday and the Family reunion follows quickly on it's heals.

First, attached you will find an up-to-date list of participants, as of today, July 20th.
Second, Most everyone is staying at the same hotel and there will be opportunity to visit and plan excursions there. But, Reunion Central will be at the home of Dan and Gwen, they will have shade in the back yard, items for sandwiches and other snacks as well as soft drinks, tea, coffee and ice water. Their address is:
Dan and Gwen Sarton
2239 S. Blackspur
Meridian, ID 83642
(208)855-2257
Third, there are three planned meals where everyone will be together. The first is on Tuesday evening @ Epi's Basque Restaurant, (Driving directions will be available at the hotel). The second is a BBQ picnic on Wednesday the 4th in the back yard of Dan and Gwen and the third is a Potato Bar on Thursday the 5th. The total cost of these meals is $35.00 per person. The break down is $22.00 for the Basque Restaurant, $8.00 for the picnic and $5.00 for the potato bar.
Please make out your check to Gwen Sarton and mail to the above address as she is taking care of receiving the funds and paying for the various food items.
Fourth, for those persons flying in and do not have auto transportation there will be several cars at the hotel and plenty of transportation available.
Fifth, for those arriving on Monday and leaving on Friday, you are invited to Dan and Gwen's, there will be sandwich items, plenty of drinks, etc.
Sixth, on Tuesday evening as we close our time together there will be a short memorial service conducted for Carl. We would like for you to bring a memory that you would like to share at that time.
