Memorial Day

We had a great day together yesterday. First we went to our annual ward breakfast at 8am. I have to admit, it wasn't easy to try to look like I was actually awake that early but I think I pretty much pulled it off.

Then we took the kids to Zoo Boise. They really loved the giraffe slide...especially Sam. It was actually Kate's brave idea to go down it (only with Daddy, of course). But when we actually got there to do it, she said, "Uhh, I'm not so sure about this." She went down once and then we watched Daddy take Sammy a couple of times. Sam would have kept going all day if we'd let him. He even said, "weeeeee!" when he watched other kids go down.

Then we walked over to Julia Davis Park and had a picnic. The weather was perfect and the kids really enjoyed eating outside. Kate was really into the idea of having a picnic and said, "You know, Dad. It's a great day to be at the park." and "I wish I would have brought my basket so I could pick berries." She always says the cutest things.
Kate and Sammy also had lots of fun having races with Daddy. We gave out lots of pretend gold medals.

Then we drove over to the MK Nature Center near Municipal Park and walked around to see all the fish. We even got to see one of the 3-foot sturgeon they just added a few days earlier.

All in all, it was a really fun and pretty relaxing day. It was nice to just hang out with just our little family and have a good time.

Oh, that looks like so much fun!!! I am so homesick! The pictures were adorable. Our memorial day was spent watching movies because my allergies are going crazy and 2 of the girls have bad colds, bummer! Miss you guys!

I love the zoo, but not as much as Ryan. I gave him a family zoo pass for his birthday, he loved it.

We do need to get together. Loren and I will be in town over Father's Day weekend for Josh's baby's blessing. I think Sherstine said they were coming the third week in June so I'm not sure if she will be there yet. If not, we are planning a time to come in July too.

Rach, that is soo funny that you went to those places 2 weekend ago, we went to them last weekend. All The same places! Weird, we are too much alike. Must be something about being born 364 days apart! Go May Babies!!!
