🚫🎈Yup, you woke the kids up early to get to Ann Morrison and weather cancels flights...

⛈️It is a total bummer, but pilots cannot control the weather & depend on it for the safety of the balloons and the crew.

🤷🏽‍♀️But now what?

🔀Turn the morning into a different adventure instead. It helps teach kids to be flexible, understanding, and live in the moment.

💡Here are some options! Pick one or a combination of some:

🗨️Chat with some crew members about your hot air balloon questions!
🫶🏽Give some love to local vendors who are already set up there to serve or entertain you!
🛝Play at Ann Morrison park. The structure is right there!
🥔Grab some breakfast from Loving Lefse across the bridge Food Truck Park + Live Music | Boise
💦Check out the Ann Morrison Fountains before they are turned off for the season.
👣Take a walk along the greenbelt & explore something new.
💪🏽Hit the outdoor gym at Ann Morrison (towards the Old Timer's Shelter) while kids play in the volleyball court sand (if there's not a game at 7 in the morning😜)
🚲If you biked, head over to the Boise Bicycle Project Traffic Garden (by the disc golf course and softball fields between Ann Morrison Park Dr. & Royal Blvd)
🐕‍🦺If you brought the pup, head over the Together Treasure Valley Dog Island to get wiggles out.

📌SAVE this in case Mother Nature doesn't cooperate again this week.

What else would you add???

It has been about a decade since my family moved to the Boise area. My husband and I moved our young family away from everything we had ever known, including all of our extended family, and took the biggest leap of faith. Fortunately, we have found community, friendships, and a beautiful place to raise a family.

Considering a move to Boise? There's a lot to consider! Here are 5 things I wish I had known before moving to Boise.
