Boise Aquarium

Our good friends were in town for the day and we decided to go check out the new aquarium here in town.  It was expensive.  It was interactive.  It was impressive for Boise.  It was a let down having been to much larger aquariums.   Will we go again?  Maybe once they have the seals, sea turtles, and sharks.  The kids really enjoyed all the the pools where you could feel, pet, and feed everything that was growing there.  It only took us about a half hour to go through (and, that was with looking at everything and reading all of the plaques).  Both my camera and my phone were on the fritz, so I only got one photo of the stingray pools.

I am glad we went and checked it out.  Hopefully next time we will get to feed the seals!

Party!!

We had a little party for the kids at Monkey Bizness again this year.  Some of the photos are good, some are grainy because the light in there is not the best.

We had a wonderful time and we hope everyone else did as well.  Thank you all for coming out and spoiling the kids rotten!

Reunited

Braun and I were finally able to reunite; it had been a few years and a lot of life changes since we last got together.  Of course, we have a few new additions to our once duo...

Rob was also in town (he has been working in Singapore and gets to visit home for the time being).  It is always wonderful to see the Yzaguirre family, but this time was an extra special treat when we got to see the two men!  Thank you to Rob and Renae for a wonderful dinner, we had such a great time.  And, thank you to Brandi for entertaining the kids, they LOVED dressing up and keep talking about when they get to go back and do it again!

It is always comforting to be in the company of old and dear friends.
