Boise Summer 2014

Grace, Lilly, Pearl and I spent 6 weeks in Boise this summer.  It was so much fun and non-stop.  We had family get togethers and parties, and fun at the cabin.  We got to see lots of cousins, grandparents and even great grandparents.  We had so much fun and we are already looking forward to going back next summer.

 Lilly found the animal her dress was patterned after.

 We got a special meeting with the baby skunks.

 Grace, Pearl, and Lilly in the Butterfly Exhibit.

Sam and I met at the zoo right outside the butterfly exhibit, so I thought this was kind of special!

 We drove down to Utah with my parents to visit Trenton and Kurt and attend baby Bethany's blessing.

 We were there on the 4th of July and got to watch fireworks

 and play with a few ourselves.

 Grandpa Harold is always the coordinator of all this!

We got to go visit my Grandma Hegerhorst, and she had fun playing games with the girls.

 Lilly won!

 For Grandpa Harold's birthday we went out to Famous Dave's and then went to feed the ducks and geese in the park.

 Grandma Wendy and Grandpa Harold got called as nursery leaders while we were in Boise.  The girls had fun with them in there!

 Cousins cousins and more cousins!

 Keagan, Lilly, Grace, and Dallin.

 Playing at the lake again, this time with the Hegerhorst side of the family.

And we had an answer to prayer while we were at the cabin.

 The Easter Bunny came!

Lilly has prayed every day since Easter that the Easter Bunny would come again.  She was one happy girl.

 We took the kids to fast lanes to race mini Corvettes.  They had a blast.

Grandpa A.J. is running for Governor in Idaho.  The girls had fun wearing these t-shirts around town and campaigning for him.

 Out to lunch with Grandma Susie.

 Visiting Grandpa Simper

Grace, Pearl, Grandma Wendy, Great Grandpa Simper, Me, and Lilly.

We went to a Hegerhorst Reunion in Bruneau. 

Pearl had fun with my Cousin, Emily's little boy Bridon.

Our last Saturday in Boise we went to feed the ducks again and played in this fun fountain.

 Grace had her swim suit under her clothes.  Something I always did when I was 5.  It made me laugh.

I feel like this picture just sums up our trip perfectly.  Enjoying Boise, Enjoying outside, and Enjoying being with Family.
