2nd Week in Boise...

Our second week in Boise has been a bit disappointing, mostly because at some point, everyone in the house has been sick. Like nasty, stomach bug sick.



Tuesday we were going to head out to the movies, but Cody was still a little punky. Mom had the day off, so we rented a video from Redbox and had a movie at home. This worked out well for me to be able to sneak out and check out some shops I had seen. One being a gigantic craft store, swoon....



By Wednesday, Cody was ready to head out for some fun, but Gramma and Grammpa were stuck home with the crud. So the boys and I went to the library for story time, then came outside to rain. So we hit Sonic for a quick bite and went to the cheap theater to see How to Train Your Dragon. It was good, Ty thought it was a bit scary, but Cody seamed to enjoy it. Once we stepped out of the theater, it was back to summer sun. So we headed out to a splash park in Eagle to cool off.

Unfortunately, the lightening from the night before had started a fire in the Eagle foot hills. So we watched the smoke cloud get bigger and the planes fly over dropping water and retardant, and eventually it was time to go.

By that late afternoon, I was feeling cruddy and it hit me by 8 o'clock that evening. So Thursday was mellow with me on the couch and the boys hanging out with Gramma.

Friday was better and we ventured out once again to go to the Zoo.

Monkeys...

African Cats...

Giraffes...

Wallabies....

Then we stopped to ride the carousel...

Ahh the penguins...

"I love you penguin"

Swimming...

Then after a stop for drinks we slid down the giraffe slide...

Kimono Dragon...

Big ol' Tortoise...
(Some day I would love to have one roaming our yard)

Once you see the tortoise, you have to be a tortoise

Tigers....

and bears...

We stopped for some lunch and I had had about all I could take and we called it day.

Saturday we have been busy getting things packed and ready. Then in the afternoon we headed over to my cousins wedding. As soon as we got out of the car Ty was sick. So was dashed home and he hung out with Grammpa and I dashed back just in time.

That pretty much ends our Boise trip. We will probably head home sometime on Sunday, depending on how he does overnight. He seams to have a softer case than the rest of us as he's already eating and getting back to his normal self.
