.:Boise x2:.

Back in August, we headed up to Boise again to spend some time at Dani and Jefferson's. It was a much quicker trip than last time, made more difficult by the fact that Remi does not car to nap in the car anymore, but we still had a fun time. I wish Reece lived closer to ALL of her cousins!

The first day, we went to the Boise zoo. I really liked the zoo because you were really close to the animals, so it was easier for Reece to see them. It was also nice and shady which made it much more bearable as we were walking around. While we were there, this cage of monkeys was going crazy. Reece was loving it!

The other thing Reece couldn't get enough of was feeding the sheep and goats. That might have been the highlight of her trip!

We also spent some time in the backyard with the water table and the sprinklers. Reece didn't really get running through the sprinklers, but she did enjoy playing with the water table (or climbing on it as you can see from the pictures.) Josh had brought some water balloons up, so he and Jefferson were dads of the year and spent a long time filling them up for the kiddos, only to have the enormous supply depleted in about 15 minutes! Good dads!




We took a trip to the splash park one day, too. Reece was loving it! It was a nice way to spend the afternoon. While we were there, we stumbled upon some random kids fair type of thing, so we got a bunch of Otterpops and candy for the kids. Can't complain about that!



We even squoze (is that a word??) Rem into her swimsuit for our afternoon at the splash park. (That suit is 6-9 months, by the way. Healthy girl!)


I attempted to get a picture with both girls. As you can see, neither of them were interested.


We had a fun time, eating well and playing games. It's always great to get together with family!
