No Fireworks????

Just want to let Skyler and Steve know that they are on Tori's list...... She was very disappointed that you guys were gone and we didn't get to do the 'family thing'. She even invited a couple of friends to join us. However, we tried to make the best of it, we decided to visit Zoo Boise. I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't very busy. I haven't been to the zoo since the kids were little. It has really changed. Tori took a bunch of pictures. Her favorites are the penquins and zebra.



My favorite was this cute meerkat.While we were off at the Zoo, Alex and his friend Jameson was out buying a few fireworks.

I made them pose. It was NOT an easy thing to do.



Boys can be scary with matches.

When it got dark, Tori and I went up to Federal Way to watch the fireworks from Ann Morrison park. We left the two boys at home to 'play' with their own fireworks. It turned out to be not too bad of a day, but we sure missed being with the family.

Next week Tori and I are off to the Oregon coast again. We are looking forward to long walks on the beach, a LOT of Outlet mall shopping and some relaxation.

Welcome to the deep end...

...this is the message I got on Monday as I jumped in. Monday was my birthday, another milestone day.  One that I have been dreading for weeks.  Not sure why this one is so hard to swallow.   For weeks I have been feeling like the crocodile from Peter Pan...Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock.  The days just tick away. Birthday's are interesting, there is a build up as the day gets closer adding to the excitement (or dread).  Then the alarm goes off on the "BIG" day and you wake up just like any other day.  The same person, nothing feels different.  If it wasn't for the wrinkles you see in the mirror you wouldn't know you were any older. It isn't until you mentally do the math in your head and realize that you're starting a new decade of your life.  60 is the new 30, right!?! We need to not dwell on the years that have past, we should look forward to the years ahead of us, all the new adventures to be had, people to meet, life left to experience. So let's not

New addition

In March we got a new addition to our family.  This little baby is what makes memories and we are so looking forward to using it to make them. Tori and Chad went in with us to make this purchase.  After visiting every RV dealership in Boise, we settled on this Jayco Jay Feather from Bish RV.  We started looking last Sept and it took us so long to decide that the 2016 models were all sold out.  We were able to order 2017 at the 2016 price. Lucky us .  It took until March to get it to Boise, but that worked out great for us.  We didn't have to store it this winter. Last weekend we camped in our driveway to test out all the features to make sure we knew how to do things and that everything worked before we took it out to the wilds. Tori and Chad took it out this weekend to Mann's Creek.  From what I heard things went well, the only comment was that the main big bed was uncomfortable - "like a rock".  I'm sure that it was still better than sleeping on t
