Here we are at the very beginning of our trip. Vienna and Giraffe all strapped in and ready to go!
Lincoln getting all strapped in :)
My Mom and Dad were there for a visit and we actually left them at our place alone for a few days, but here we are saying goodbye - who knows the next time we'll see them.
While saying goodbye my mom put her phone on the hood of our van. We left and while at a red light on Belvoir and Mayfield someone beside us pointed it out, so of course my Mom was very grateful because who knows where it would have fallen off or how far we would have gotten and we had no idea it was there. Oh Mommy! we got to say goodbye again!
So don't tell the police but if we were going absolutely stir crazy we would get out of our seats and have a little play time. It was the only thing that kept us sane.
Originally we were going to stay at our friends parents place because they have lots of room, but after day 1 Laura asked if we would just want to go stay at their place and so that is what we did. We had a blast and this way we got to see much more of each other. It probably was too much for Laura with a little 3 Month old baby on top of company but at least Jack, Luke and Vienna played super well together. Like any kids, near the end of the week they kind of got sick of each other, but we had an amazing time.
Going to visit Cowboy ElRay was a real treat. Depsite the sprinkles we still rode some horses. Vienna was a total natural and from the very beginning wanted to ride all by herself and when it was other peoples turn she was not too happy about that.
Lincoln on the other hand was shaking when I first brought him close to the horse and then after having him sit with Vienna - well his face says it all.
Once he watched Mommy a bit, he was ok to get on with me and did really well.
Vienna conceded to ride with me for a few minutes before demanding to go on by herself again.
Mike - my business casual cowboy
Vienna and her Daddy for one last ride
We spent most of our days with the Johnsons and with the amazing Boise weather it looked a lot like this...
Sprinkler fun
Walks with friends to the river (Vienna holding hands with Rylan Pooly - finally a little girl that wanted to hold hands)
Absolutely loving the refreshing water on this super hot day
What a little stud man, just loving the sand
Vienna and I got to go to the aquarium with Jack's playschool group, which was a lot of fun!
Our week in Boise was marvelous and more than anything, Mike had a great experience doing his externship with Dr. Hathaway. His confidence level went way up, he learned lots and was able to work on me, and did a great job. Perhaps we will be able to go back there and buy in with him, but only time will tell. We sure love and miss Boise though!
