I Love Marble! There's a lot of cool, smooth marble inside the state capitol in Boise, Idaho!  It felt cool to sit a while and look around.  I wanted to sit on the other side of the column and look into the dome. But there was a man watching. Big Dome! Look how beautiful this dome looks from the bottom floor.  I promise, I did not jump over the railing.  But here I am, in the very center of the marble design, beneath the big dome.  I had a great view from that spot on the floor. Silly Don and Beth Beth said she wanted to enjoy that same view. She looks a lot sillier than me.  She and Don had way too much fun. Then they got some even sillier ideas.  Don dropped me and Beth tried to take a picture, looking like I'd jumped all the way from the tippy top of the dome.  I was exhausted from their silly play.  I finally said. Just put me back in your bag.

Cabbage? There was no snow in Idaho. It was August when we visited.  So I climbed inside this thing. It was soft and cool and it looked kind of like a cabbage.  I sat right in the middle, in a tiny bit of shade.  There were flowers and rocks nearby. I admired them all, from my spot on the "cabbage".  A few people walked by, but not one person noticed me. They were too busy looking up at the mountains!
Fires We stopped for gas last summer in Idaho.  Skies were hazy from forest fires, but we saw something bright and green! Beth let me climb up on the nose of the Sinclair Dinosaur!  It was smooth and slippery, but I didn't slide off. Clair! There was a sign that told us the dinosaur's name was Clair! It invited us to get on Clair and take pictures.  Beth did. I liked the way Clair was smiling.  Smoke didn't bother her.  I was smiling too, because I was able to sit high on Clair's nose! Not everybody gets to that.
Eye of the Potato I've climbed in corn fields and I've climbed on tomato vines.  I've posed with peppers and watermelon. Today I posed in the eye of a potato. Fake Potato First I posed with a potato that wasn't real. It was a giant potato, at the Idaho Potato Museum.  Beth found a tiny dent and tucked me in, for a photo. She said it was a potato eye. Never heard of such a thing!  After the big photo shoot, we headed into the little cafe, inside the museum. Lunch Of course Beth bought a baked potato.  It didn't look very good. The bacon looked fake and the slippery blob of sour cream did not look appetizing. Potato Picnic Beth took the potato in the car and we drove to a rest stop.  She ate the potato all by herself. I said, "No thanks! It's all yours!" Climbing the Lava Not far from the table, we found some walkways. We wandered and found some hard lava formations. The rock was once hot lava, that became solid a few thousand years ago! The rocks had lots of holes. They look more like eyes than those potato eyes.  I climbed around on the rock, thinking about lava and potatoes. I guess all the lava has made the soil just right for potato growing!
I have determined that I prefer rock climbing, to potato climbing. On the Tracks  Ms. Donkey and I spent 3 nights in Idaho on our road trip. We posed on some railroad tracks on our last day. Safe  No worries! That train could not get to us. Train Depot  Ms. Donkey and I hiked down the hill a bit, for a view of the old depot. I Love Trains  I love the idea of trains and train stations! Maybe my next trip with Ms. Donkey will be a train trip. Cars are boring.
Boise, Idaho with Ms. Donkey  Ms. Donkey and I have been jumping from state to state on our road trip. But we stayed put in Boise for 3 nights.  We visited a pond on the top of a hill.  Beth posed us on a lilypad.  She laid on a rock and reached down to place us.  I'm not sure it was a good idea, but she promised she'd jump in if we fell.
In Idaho, with Ms. Donkey This was my first time in Idaho and I got to enjoy it with my friend.  We paused at the top of a hill and posed on a rock.  From our rock, (next to the bench) we had a good view of the capital city. The sky was hazy because of recent fires... but the grass was green. I like Idaho.
