Last weekend, being a holiday weekend, we took a mini-escape and spent it in Boise. Saturday was dinner with friends at the Cheesecake Factory, followed up with a park playdate with their little boy the following morning. The kids didn't seem to mind that fact the wind was chilly and the equipment was wet from the rain the night before!
After a pretty good nap, it was off to run errands and then play some games at the Dave and Busters that just opened, Emily cashed in her tickets for a stuffed pink monkey, a bracelet, and some rings. It was okay... but no need to go back! It wasn't the fun we remembered the D&Bs in California being!
Monday was the fun day - off to Zoo Boise again.
Her mission (that she accomplished) was to see the giraffes, ride the merry-go-round, and feed the goats. This trip became more about playing than watching any animals!
We've been to this zoo several times before, and I've never noticed this bench...
Right next to the play area where Emily was so happily spending a chilly Presidents' Day morning. It made a nice place for this momma to sit.
Then an uneventful week went by... This morning we made a stop at the paint your own pottery place in town and picked out a couple pieces to paint that can be used for gifts.
Three more movement classes left, she continues to really like the sessions. She has (finally) mastered the somersault and she spends many evenings at home setting up obstacle courses for her babies to do, just like the courses that we end each class with. I think our summer activity will be horseback riding lessons... but the lady who agreed to work with Emily said to make arrangements after the snow melts, so we might fit in another round of movement classes to help pass the time.
And there's that cruise that we are all looking forward to...
