Hello friend,

I started Don't Get Bored in Idaho as a guide to help me find new places to explore and new things to do with my kids. I needed something to help me when my kids would ask, "Mom, what are we doing today?"

Here's my solution to that question. In one place I have LINKS to different websites and local activities that help me plan out our week. You can find these in the right hand column. Besides the links to various places, I also blog about my experience in hopes that it will be useful information for you. I've placed a star * next to any places that we have been to and blogged about.

If it has a star next to it, check the LABELS in the left hand column for my blog review. If you are looking for things to do this summer check under the label of "Summer" to get some ideas. You don't want to get bored in Idaho.

Your new friend,

Amanda

About Me

My photo
Amanda
You've probably heard the phrase, "Here Before It Was Cool." Idaho wasn't always considered cool like it is now, but I've been here all along-- loving the way of life, exploring the open spaces, seeking out art and people, treasuring what's always been while welcoming in and appreciating the new.
