Idaho is as stinky in as Marilla

We took a trip to the Boise Zoo and had a ball checking out all that it has to offer.

Another great day was spent at this amazing park.

Adam loved sitting on the anchor and seemed to claim it as his own.

Love these ladies, have known them for 11 years. I was so excited to see Rebekah and her kids.

Shontell and I were trying for a cute pic of the two of us and Izzy kept popping her head in it.

I love the way this turned out.

Yes, we chose to marry these clowns!

Visit with Grammie & Pops

We sure do love visiting with these crazy kids! They are so entertaining!

When we pulled into Burt, NY on Pop's 61st birthday and brought him a yummy chocolate cake with Butterfinger frosting. Yes we filled our kiddos bellies with cake and then sent them to bed.

Grammie bought the kids a slip and slide but they don't work so well in the desert on a backyard full of pea gravel. We set it up and the kids played on it every day. They loved the natural slope of the backyard.

Reece loved landing in this little pool at the end of the slide.

Daddy went out in Uncle Jack's canoe and Raine wanted to get out and swim in lake Ontario instead. She is so brave the water was cold and the rock are really slimy.

This visit to New York was very low key and lazy. I failed to call my cousins and run all over western New York visiting people. I just felt like I needed to be near my mom & dad. It was one of the best weeks of the summer!

Hershey Park

That's where they make the CHOCOLATE!! We didn't do a tour or anything this time because the kids are a bit too young but next year maybe. We had so much fun exploring this amusement park with Aunt Amber and Aubrey. Last summer we visited Sesame Place and this summer Hersey Park. Let's not forget our first trip to Disneyland with them too. We love creating first memories with our cousin and auntie. Mo was excited to see how it changed since he had been there when he was young.

Ariel view of the Hershey Chocolate Factory!

Brother & Sister enjoying the heat & humidity!

Cousins needing more water and it was only 10 am.

The kiddos loved this ride they must have went on it 7 times,
the line was short and it must have given then a nice breeze.

Kiddos so happy for the photo op, can we just go in the park already!
I love that all of them insisted on wearing their new baseball hats from Uncle Doug.


Reece was checking his height. Ironic he could ride all the ride with a Reese's Peanut Butter candy sign. He was so excited when he learned that was most of the roller coasters we saw while we were driving into the park. Reece & Daddy rode a lot of coasters this time.

It was such a hot day we spent a good 4 hrs of it at The Boardwalk a water park part of the amusement park. The kids didn't mind that at all they loved every second of the day, well except when we made them go on Tidal Force. Just check out the Description: One of the tallest splash-down rides in the world. Guaranteed to get you soaked! Ride Facts: Number of boats:3, Riders per boat:20, Ride duration:2 minute, 10 seconds Maximum speed: 53 mph, Capacity:950 riders per hour. Aubrey was too frightened and after we all sat and started moving forward, Amber had to ask them stop the ride so she and Aubs could get off. Reece and Raine were not too thrilled it when it was all over. Reece said he was never going on that again and Raine wanted to know why she couldn't get off when Aubrey did. Oh well lesson learned, no more Tidal Wave rides.

We opened and closed the park and had such a great time that Mo said he wouldn't mind getting a hotel room next year and trying a two day pass. We will see...

Fun in the Sun~~Week One

We have had so much fun already while here at the Jersey Shore!

Girls love to lay in the hot sand.

Our wonderful friends the Feldmans spent the week with us.

Raine and I are twins with our matching swim suits.

Raine loves to run up from the water to where we sit.

My dear friend Christina.
