Our visit with Alicia

We spent lat weekend up in Boise visiting Alicia and her family. We had such a good time at the park, at the zoo and hanging out at her house. We couldn't ask for a more hospitable family!!

Friday afternoon was spent at the Philipi park. It's such a fun park and the boys had a great time trying out their new scooters.


Even Autumn had a good time swinging Emma
Keegan loved climbing up this hollow rock made of cement.
Zach on his new scooter
Keegan on the climbing wall
Colin and Zach couldn't be outdone by their baby brother
Emma LOVED the swings!
And the playground equipment
I tried to get a picture of Keegan sliding down these bars, but he always went so fast!! He was so much fun to watch.
My little monkey!
Saturday morning we went to the Boise Zoo. It's a far cry from the Phoenix Zoo, but we all had a good time anyway. Keegan had the map, albeit upside down, and played the roll of our navigator.

The penguins were a lot of fun


The Zebras
Anybody for a ride on the kimodo dragon?
We had the opportunity to give Alicia and Brad a break so they could go celebrate their anniversary. Emma LOVES my boys, but isn't so sure about me, so Colin did most of the actual babysitting, if you can call falling asleep on the job babysitting.

Emma also loved the boys new scooters - I think she's going to have to get one for herself!!

More scooter time

We had a fabulous visit and got to know Emma a little better. We ate some great food, thanks to the joint efforts of Alicia, Little Caesar's and myself. It was so much fun just to hang out and watch the kids play with the big blocks n the backyard, blow bubbles and just hang out with Alicia and Brad. We will definitely have to do it again.
