4th of July. (part one of three)

Abandoned. That's what happened to us of the 4th of July. The usual suspects in our 4th of July activities had other plans this year. So rather than sit at home and stare at our walls, we decided to head to Idaho to stare at someone elses walls. We went to visit the Tanners as well as other friends and family we have in the Boise area.

We packed up our Jeep up Thursday night and left first thing Friday morning. Thanks to DVD players and lots of yummy treats and snacks we sailed to Boise.

The first thing on the agenda, Idaho Pizza Company! Its a must on a trip to Boise, because there is nothing quite like it in Utah.

The kids liked the pizza, but they liked the video games better!


We basically took over the game room, and squeezed out the competition... After all between Darrin's kids and mine, its a total of six, yikes!


Next it was onto night time fun. The kids broke open glow sticks and dumped the contents all over their clothing to ensure they were glowing in the dark. What is better when you are glowing in the dark than a game of capture the flag.


It was a little cold outside as well raining, so Darrin set up a tent in the family room for the girls to have an indoor camp out. (Note, Katie lasted about 10 minutes before she moved her sleeping bag to the floor of my room) Bed time 2:00 a.m.......well that's when the girls went to bed, after watching movies and having girls talk. I managed fall asleep a little earlier than that, but not much....
