Oh what fun we had in Boise! 2 1/2 weeks was just the right amount of time I think. We didn't get sick of being there, but we were still excited to get home. I took a ton of pictures, but could have taken a ton more. We just were having too much fun to think about getting the camera out! Prepare for picture overload. Videos will be coming in the next post.
 |
| Savannah LOVED Dallas! And he was so sweet with her. |
 |
| My handsome brother and his beautiful wife! They had a hot date at the National Guard ball. I had fun helping Cassie get ready. So fun! |
 |
| The kids literally watched TV only 5 times the whole time we were there, and it was only when they needed to rest for a bit from all the hard playing they were doing! |
 |
| "I'm number 1!" Dad's favorite trick. :) |
 |
| These two were so funny together. Savannah, about to go in for the "kill." (the other baby is my good friend, Melissa's baby. They are about 1 month apart) |
 |
| "Got 'er!!" |
 |
| "Two water bottles?!" |
 |
| "I'll take that!" |
 |
| Eager to get started on the 1st Easter egg hunt of the day. It was FREEZING!!! With cousin Zander. He and Troy had a blast, and got into all kinds of shenanigans together. |
 |
| Troy was a "little" disappointed with the quantity he got. Brooklyn saved the day and offered him several of her eggs. What a gem she is!! |
 |
| At the 2nd Easter egg hunt of the day. Troy is a bit happier about the amount of eggs he got. This Easter egg hunt had 9,000 eggs!!!!! |
 |
| Cousin Natalie...love this picture! She had her big brother helping her, and she made out like a bandit!! |
 |
| Coloring Easter eggs with the cousins. Fun times. We thought they'd be out there a while, but 5 minutes later, they were done! lol |
 |
| She took this very seriously. |
 |
| As did Troy. :) |
 |
| With cousin Elena. They were such buddies!! |
 |
| Sisters!! |
 |
| And in true "Easter bunny" fashion, I filled these around midnight, but forgot a couple things. Luckily, the forgotten loot made it in the baskets before morning. |
 |
| Attempting to get a family Easter picture after church. Minus Daddy, of course. |
 |
| Well at least I have one picture of them all looking at the camera right?! |
 |
| Attempted picture with all the Paternoster cousins...after the big Easter egg hunt. So fun! |
 |
| There are no words. Love her |
 |
| Those eyelashes! |
 |
| Ha ha mom!! I got the camera!! |
 |
| "Ta-da!" |
 |
| Why yes Troy, you can have popsicle #489! We're on vacation!! |
 |
Poor Savannah only got a little taste. But she was determined!!
Thus concludes Part 1 of our vacation. Popsicles were consumed by the dozens (you think I'm kidding...I'm not! Dad restocked those puppies 4 times while we were there, and he doesn't get 1 skimpy bag when he restocks!), Easter eggs were hunted, cousins were played with until way past bedtime, and Mommy enjoyed books, conversations with family, visits with long-lost friends, and too many yummy treats that are not part of her diet. Fun times were had. Stay tuned for Part 2. |
