Memorial Weekend Visitors

Over the long Memorial day weekend we had some of our very favorite visitors.  Everyone is so content when they are with the Fentons because everyone has a friend.  We were all so excited to hear they were coming to spend some time with us here and we could show them what spring was like in Boise.

We started our time off by eating pizza down by the river.  
It didn't take the kids long to jump right in the water and find fun little creatures.  


Everyone had to show how brave they were and hold the snake! Well everyone but the moms!



Little boy heaven right there!


Next up were my kids showing off their rope swinging skills.  Carter hopped right on and didn't look back.  


Parker decided that it didn't look too scary and decided to take the next plunge. 


Bess 


Sawyer


Reese took a little more coaxing and maybe some chanting of her name BUT she did it and loved it!

The river is one of our favorites and were happy to show it off. 


The next day we did more touring and walked around on the green belt down by the river by BSU.  Still lots to explore!

We stopped for lunch at Fancy Freeze, another one of our favorites! Everyone left happy and full. 


These cute cousins are so lucky to have each other.  With only 3 months between them they have always been the best of buddies!  I love watching them with each other.  We miss the weekend sleepovers and all the extra activities we got to do with them in Utah but we will take what we can get and FaceTime is a constant!




The kids begged us to ride the paddle boats at Julia Davis park.  Since we had never done it we thought it was a perfect time to take the plunge. 
We all loved it and tried having a few races and showing off some tricks.



We finished the night off with spaghetti and rootbeer floats in the drive way.  

I think I can pretty much speak for all that it was a pretty perfect day!


The next morning the Fentons loaded up their van and headed for home.  I promised the kids that we would kid swap this summer and have more time to show them our surroundings.

Great memories! It sure is fun to play on the water and it's always great to see the Fentons.
