Our Trip to Boise

Lucas was on Spring Break from WSU this last week. We decided to go visit Lucas' Grandma Stevens and other relatives that live in the Boise area. (Luke's Dad, and sister, Erikka, came down Friday afternoon)
We arrived late Thursday night, gave hugs to grandma, and went to bed. (The twins didn't want to go back to sleep in their pack-in-plays, so I slept on the floor with them in the living room... let's just say that was a nightmare:( Friday morning we woke up, got ready for the day, and decided to head to the Zoo, and have lunch at a nearby park. (The weather was gorgeous, we had to get out:) (Just to tell you how nice it was, there were girls in tank tops and shorts:) You would've thought people hadn't seen the sun before:)

(This cute little Safari Jeep was very nice for the girls:)
The Boise Zoo was Fabulous! (We liked it better than the Portland Zoo). It was in great shape, well maintained, lots of interesting animals, VERY KID FRIENDLY, and it wasn't so big that you got all tuckered out walking around the entire place.



We all loved the Giraffes, they were so beautiful and graceful to watch. Plus they had a fun Giraffe slide for the kids.



We loved the Prairie Dog Exhibit as well: They have tunnels underneath the prairie dogs, big enough for kids and adults, and little places for you to pop your head up and be "amongst" the dogs. The girls thought that was pretty neat!

This little Meerkat was just chillin', it was a priceless picture, I couldn't resist... he was basking in the sunlite:)


Jodee loved watching the Komoto Dragon, she watched him for a while, it was cool he was so close to the glass. Jodee also loved the penguins, she thought they were so cool, just swimming around in the water, catching fish.



Rhenley loved all the little hands on things as we walked around the zoo, here she is being a Tortoise:) Here was another cute little thing for the kids to do, you looked at the foxes, then got to pose with their BIG ears:)

The Zoo was a blast, we had an enjoyable time together. It was nice that we had ONE day! The next two days weren't so joyous! Jodee & Jayda woke up puking Saturday... they were sick Saturday, Sunday, Monday, (Geeze, they're still not themselves today, Wednesday)
We stayed in Boise til late Sunday afternoon, we got to play games, and eat yummy food with Luke's family, but other than that we didn't do much else. I layed around with the twins, ready with the puke bucket to try to catch the puke before it got all over Grandma's carpet. (We went through lots of blankets and towels:) A BIG THANKS TO GRANDMA FOR LETTING US STAY WITH HER, EAT HER YUMMY FOOD, WATCH HER HALLMARK MOVIES, AND LET LUKE BEAT HER AT "DWINDLE". (Grandma has tons of Hallmark movies, which I love to watch when we visit.:)
So all in all, the trip to Boise was a trip to remember!:)
