I tried a little harder for our Boise trip to do some activities that we have never done before in Boise. We floated the Boise and what started off as an after work party ended up as floating the Boise river at 8 pm. It was so fun though and I want to do it next time with the kids! Caving was hilarious. At the opening and end there were pigeons sitting in nooks. You would be climbing and all the sudden look over and there would be a pigeon staring at you. You'd just pray they wouldn't spook and fly at you - unfortunately for Devin, one spooked! One of us got a little stuck at the "birthing canal." And I had it easy with the 3 other guys lifting me and catching me. Caleb was the tour guide without a light - he was awesome. It was a long drive there but worth it and fun!
Brynlee had a fun birthday party. She was so lucky to celebrate it twice. Melissa and Jake joined us for cake and ice cream while the kids enjoyed the castle. Thank you Tiffany for a beautiful princess cake with rings all around it. She loved all her gifts from both parties and is so excited to turn 5 now! This bouncy castle was so fun for the kids. It was pretty hot that day.
We went to the zoo and I was very impressed. It has grown a lot since I went last. Callen and Ella didn't really like the moving trex but loved the giraffe slide!
After the zoo Brynlee and Grandma had to stop and smell the roses at Ann Morrison.
I finally took Devin up to table rock after a great temple trip! I could have sat up there forever.
So we decided to float the Boise River. I apparently thought I did all of these adventures and then I get there and don't remember I thing! But we got off a little late (8 pm)!!! And were the last ones to float which was nice cause we had the river to ourselves (minus a drunk couple). There was a little mix up about how to row and where but "lewis" and "clark" figured it out and got us there safely. It got a little cold towards the end - it was so much fun and next time I'm bringing Brynlee cause she would have a blast!
Brynlee took almost 2 weeks of swimming lesson from Miss Janie and Miss Jessica. She was in heaven and is a swimming machine now! It's amazing what it has done for her. Worth every penny! Devin had the 4th week off (our first week of travel), then he took off 1 week and flew home for the third week to work. He then flew back to help me drive home. 3 weeks of heaven for our family! We had so much fun!
One of the big highlights for Brynlee is playing with Jason - her long lost friend. We had so much fun with them in TX and we have missed them. I wish that I could have provided more time for them to play.
Brynlee was talking about Kiri, the wedding and the dress for days after the wedding!
It was fun to be a part of the set up and help and watch everything. Kids make it a little hard to be a big help. It turned out beautiful and went very smoothly! I'm so happy for the married couple and have no concerns now. They are two of the best individuals that will make a perfect duo. We miss you already! We are so happy for you and your great decisions/opportunities!
I also loved seeing some old highschool friends! It is so fun that so many were in town and could get together. I love getting together and seeing a bunch of mini-me's running around playing together! They all looks so happy and good. It's fun to catch up and see what they are doing with their lives. We got to eat out on our traditional date with Jamie and Matt. This time we ate with Ashley and Calvin and it was really fun. I was introduced to Ali's Icecream downtown Eagle twice and wish I could have gone back for a third time!
