Our trip to Boise

Mike had a week off from school before he started the Spring semester, so we decided to go to Boise. While we were there we had some parties for Thrive and were able to introduce the product to a lot of people which in turn made us go up one rank in our business. We are now Mentors!

Friday, April 23rd, we went and visited Myra. We picked out some pretty purple daisy type flowers for her.

Emma very excited to hold the flowers.

Joey's contribution...the round poky thing (I have never known what they are called)

After that we went to my favorite Chinese restaurant, Confucious. We have to go there whenever we go to Boise, it is a family tradition! (for many families in my family) My sister, Michele, worked there when she was 16 and ever since then it has been a family favorite. Some of the original workers there still recognize us.

Emma putting a nickel in the fountain



She was really determined to catch the water in her mouth :)




Joey throwing his nickel in the fountain



On Saturday morning, the kids helped Grandma pull the weeds in their backyard so they could plant flowers.




That night, Grandma and Grandpa were nice enough to watch our kids so me and Mike could have a date. We went to The Cheese Cake Factory. It was sooo Yummy!

On Sunday, after church, we made sandwiches and headed over to Settlers park in Meridian. That has got to be the coolest park! My kids absolutely loved it. It will definitely be a place we have to go back to when we visit. It was the only nice day that we had there so I was glad we were able to go.



The play area



They had a cool area to experiment with different musical instruments.



They also had a rock climbing area and in the summer they have an area for water as well.

Here is all of us getting ready to eat our sandwiches.

Then it was playtime!




Emma sure loves the slides. That is about the only thing she will go on!




My sister, Britnee's son, Tate.



I can't even tell you how many pictures I have like this. They all look the same. Emma is crying her eyes out while the other child we are with is laughing away.



She decided to just stick to the slides



She did like this toy. Not sure what it was exactly but she loves jumping from one circle to the next.



We took a short break to play some frisbee



I love these next 2 pictures. It looks like Emma is getting smacked in the head :)




Grandpa and Grandma Hallmark chilling in the nice weather.



Joey and daddy playing the drums




Joey trying so hard to hold on



Joey had to show me how many ways he could go down the slide :)








Joey and Emma rock climbing




Yea, they made it to the top!



That night, Julie and her husband, Mason, came over. We had a yummy roast dinner and played Caylus.



We all got sunburned from the park :)




Grandma also made everyone root beer floats. Yum!



Julie won the game!



On Monday, we went and visited Mike's sister, Jennifer and his brother, Jason.

Here are all the Bahnmiller grandchildren




We went home Tuesday morning so that Mike could be home on Wednesday for school. It was a nice little vacation!
