summer

Major national news broadcasts ran stories about a toxic blue-green algae that was killing pets in North Carolina, Texas and Georgia. Turns out the same nasty stuff is here in the Gem State.

After several days in the triple digits where I was drenched in sweat just walking to my car after work, I have to admit I'm ready for it.

It's kind of ironic that August is good at two things in Boise: roasting us with triple digit temperatures and closing the city pools as soon as the school year starts.

I am not sure what it is but I go through phases and weights. I fell comfortable in my body one minute and the next I don't. Why is it that summer brings out the worst in self-esteem? I know I am not alone.

If you're applying sunscreen from a spray can this summer and wondering why you're still getting burned, you may be doing it wrong.

This is our absolute favorite day of the season at Roaring Springs!

It's hammered into our heads to be more active overall in life, but that can be a big summer fail when it gets too hot. Hydrating with beer is also bad. And there are several other things we should be doing differently during the summer months.

We can't disagree! The ice cream at this shop is unique, incredibly delicious and they just opened their second location.

A few months ago, we had a little fun trying to figure out how "Old Boise" you were. Were you "Old Boise" enough to remember Roaring Springs Opening Day?

It's the tenth year for Blue Star Museums, and Boise has three that have signed on to give free admission to active-duty military and their families this summer.
