Boise Fun!

Last week my sister Sandy and I took the kids to Boise to meet up with my Aunt Gaylene and have some summer fun. My brother Jeff lives in Boise and was so kind to let us crash his house. We all stayed with him the first night then the me and my kids went and stayed with my sister-in-law Jody and her daughter Maya. We enjoyed a hot day at the Roaring Springs Water Park, a afternoon at the Boise Zoo, went to the movie UP, and of course squeezed in some shopping. This was a great week and we were so grateful to spend time with the family and finally enjoy some warm weather without rain.

Roaring Springs Water Park was a big hit. The girls had a great time time going on the big water slides with Gaylene and Sandy while I played with the little kids in the kiddie pool. They even talked Ryan and Luke into going on a "Big Space Slide." Both of the boys agreed that is was a little dark and scary. The kids pool was alot of fun. It had a bunch of diffeternt things to do including some little slides. The favorte overall was the the Lazy River and Dippin Dots Ice Cream.







On the day we went to the Zoo the weather was just right. The Boise Zoo has a great selection of animals and lots of shade. The kids really enjoyed themselves. We even got Uncle Jeff and Maya to come with us.










I had to take this picture of my kids sleeping one morning in Maya's bed. They are so sweet.

I am really greatful for all of the fun memories I am able to build with my kids. We were so grateful to spend time with with family. My favorite part of the trip was when Ryan said to Luke "You are not my friend, you are my best friend!" I also loved watching my girls play with Grace. They adore her so much. We are looking forward to alot more swimming this summer.

Sounds like so much fun. Wish I was there. We will have to go next summer again. My kids should enjoy it by then.

Oh, that was such a fun trip. I am was getting a little home sick by the end, but now I wish I was back there. My kids had so much fun with your kids and Luke has asked everyday since we got home if your kids can come over and if we can go back to the water park.
I didn't get very many pictures this trip, too busy having fun I guess. Love you guys.
