While we were in Idaho, we drove over to Weston Idaho. Jeremy grew up in Weston, and showed the kids some of the activities he did growing up. One of these activities included floating down an irrigation canal. The kids and Steve wasted no time jumping in the water. I've had plenty of irrigation water experiences, and decided to pass on this one. Steve referred to this canal as the, "Red Neck Water Park of Weston Idaho." After we got back to our camp site the kids roasted marshmallows for smores, and played fugitive when it got dark. Fugitive is played in teams of 3 or 4 people. One person is designated to be the spot lighter who tries to catch the other players. The teams start in one location and have to get to another location without being identified by the person with the spot light. The person with the spot light is on a four wheeler or rhino, and the teams of players are on foot trying to get to their location. If the players are spotlighted they are out. The kids played this game about every night. It was common for many kids to have cuts, bruises, and be completely soaked from going through trees, brush, and rivers trying to get to the location. The kids love the outdoors, and asked us numerous times if we could move to Cub River.
