Another fun weekend!

So our plans to go camping this weekend got sidetracked when they offered John work on Saturday, but instead of grump about it, we made the most of it and headed to the great outdoors in our backyard! There was a small lake and everything! (The best part was the flushing toilets within walking distance!)

Hannah got a new pool since she outgrew hers from last year and was very excited! We are excited too, because we can actually fit into this one with her!

A new learned skill now that Hannah is no longer in diapers. Removing a wedgie!

This is one time as parents we sat back, laughed, and enjoy the fun of Hannah determined to make her swimming suit stay right where it was supposed to!

After swimming we decided it was time for smores. We have burned some weird stuff in the chiminea and don't have a gas stove... could have pulled out the camp stove or used the grill, but we decided to nuke our marshmallows!

Hannah's attempt at staying clean.. works so far!

Obviously not for long though!

Good thing we were at home to clean up!

After all of the fun and sugar it was time to go to sleep.

The night got a little cool, but morning came and the sun warmed the tent nicely and I snapped this photo of Sadie as we waited for Hannah to wake up. Sadie was anxiously awaiting to opportunity to eat the bug crawling up the side of our tent. It's a good thing that we don't have contact with her parents. They may be a bit embarrassed to learn the the only thing their hunting dog has been given the opportunity to hunt... is bugs!

Here is sleepy Hannah who awake yelling "Morning Mom!"

Hannah and I are still going strong on our way to Yellowstone. If you haven't seen our progress, check the map in the upper right hand corner of the blog!

We still love going to our favorite trail in Nampa... I'm telling you this cow knows us already! It only took a few seconds of Hannah talking to her until she came over to say hello. She's pretty darn cute if you ask us! And really sweet too... her and Sadie have become friends as well!

This is the section of the trail Hannah always gets to walk. Here she's getting in her last bit of snacks before the "petting zoo" which after she's not allowed to touch anything and put it into her mouth... for obvious reasons.

On Sunday we headed to a section of the Boise greenbelt to enjoy some new scenery and have a family picnic. With all of the warm weather and snow we got this winter, it is melting so fast that the river is at flood stages. Normally runs at 900cfs and is currently somewhere around 5500cfs! For those who don't know this language... Those numbers would make any kayaker excited! But what those numbers mean for a walk is that the path is closed unless you want to swim through some really cold water!

So turn around we did just in time to find the perfect spot for our picnic!

We enjoyed our first picnic of the season and it obviously made an impact. Last night before bed when Hannah was praying she said "Thank you God everyday for picnics" and she finished with a strong a loud "Amen!" We couldn't help but laugh and agree "Yes Hannah... it would be fun to have picnics everyday!

Below John was swinging Hannah as she held her legs up as long as possible to avoid the cold water. She always managed to drop them in just at the right time to splash John, which I found hilarious!

This is my favorite light downtown Boise. Heading strait for the capitol building. After our picnic we headed out on a search for an ice cream shop. We really do enjoy living here. There really is so much to do!

Ice cream we found, ice cream we enjoyed, and ice cream we cleaned up!

The End.
