Zoo Boise

This morning we took advantage of the fact that Daddy had the day off and Thursday is family day at Zoo Boise so it's a little cheaper.  It was a really fun Zoo!  There are a wide variety of animals, fun things for kids to do and lots of educational opportunities.  My favorite was the cutest little baby monkey and Sienna's favorite was the giraffes.

Having fun with Mommy on the giraffe slide, spying on the prairie dogs and riding the Savannah Monitor. 

 Fun with Daddy: feeding the goats, checking out the animals and getting photo bombed by a dinosaur!

(Sienna talked about feeding the goats for days before we came and then she chickened out when we got there.  Nick was happy to feed them in her behalf.) 

Just plain having fun!

(There is supposed to be a lion in this picture behind us...I don't know what happened...)

We had fun and I'm looking forward to going again when it's a little cooler and the dinosaurs aren't there.  Sienna did not like them at all!

Spirit of Boise

We made it safely to Idaho!  We are so grateful for everyone's help in the move, especially my sister and her boyfriend taking the trek up there with us.  We've done some fun things since we got here like dinner out, checking out the nearby library, seeing Daddy's work and hanging out with the Esslingers!  We also went to the Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic!  It's an annual event in Boise and we figured that it would be a great way to have some family fun in our new city.  

We got there early because we heard that it get's pretty crazy (so true!).   We staked out a spot and had corn dogs and curly fries for dinner.

 She ate that whole thing!

 Hanging with daddy

 Longest curly fry EVER. :)

 Watching the balloons get inflated!

 Waiting for them to glow with mom.

 Family.

It was a really cool event and Sienna loved counting down and watching the hot air balloons glow.  The next morning you could actually watch a ton of them take off but it was too early for us after our late night.  We will definitely have to go again next year!
