BOISE

We went to see Aladdin with cousins.  The timing worked out so that we got a fountain show as we left the theater.

The girls were thrilled to meet Princess Jasmine as well.

 Nathan enjoy shooting guns with his Uncle Craig and Kevin.

They also had fun with a pellet gun in the backyard.

Jared enjoyed a nice birthday dinner with all the family.

Audrey enjoyed trying on Mom's hat.

Our last night in Boise was filled with good food and fun at Bryan and Afton's house. The kids especially loved having their own personal cupcake with a candle that they could blow out. 

SHOSHONE FALLS

We stopped by Shoshone falls for the kids on our way back to Utah.

STEWART FALLS

We had a nice hike with my Dad to Stewart falls.  The scenery was beautiful.  I love Utah!

TEMPLE TRIP

Abby and Maddy got to take a temple trip with their cousins.

CURIOSITY MUSEUM

While the older girls were at the temple, the three youngest enjoyed visiting the curiosity museum with their cousins. Everyone had a blast.  I think this was by far Audrey's favorite part of our trip.  She kept talking about "that really fun museum."

AQUARIUM

My dad took a day off and treated us to a trip to the aquarium.  It was fantastic.

Brooklyn has been obessed with baby shark, but she found them to be much more scary in person.

The penguins were fascinating to watch and super cute.

Audrey really loved the butterflies.

CABIN


Audrey trying out the crib with Brooklyn.

My dad and Jared put up the tire swing.  I can already tell that it is going to be a favorite with the grandkids.

The hammock we put up is going to be a favorite of all the parents.

Grandma and the girls put together a darling fairy garden for Grandma's windowsill.

We had a nice trip to BYU.  This time we decided to take the kids to visit the library. Here they are by their Great-Grandpa Donaldson's picture which is hanging there.  I'm glad my 3 oldest got to meet him before he died.  

The view of Timp this time of year is gorgeous!  I love the snow melting and showing the ridges in the rocks.  

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

Jared got to enjoy Father's day with 5 of his sweet kids.  He is their hero and they love and adore him.

DANCE CLASS

A retired dance teacher in our ward offers free dance lessons over the summer at the church.  Audrey was beyond thrilled to have her first dance class.
