Boise

Last Thursday, Ray called me early in the morning and said he needed to go down to Twin Falls to check out a job for work and asked if the kids and I would like to be dropped off in Boise. So, I rounded up clean clothes, packed the suitcases, changed the oil in the car and we were ready to go! Friday morning we loaded up the kids and headed to Boise for Elizabeth's first Boise trip. The kids did pretty good on the way down. Ray dropped us off in Boise and then headed for Twin. The kids & I headed over to the mall (we stayed at the AmeriTel right in the mall parking lot) after we relaxed a bit. Then it was back to the motel for some swimming. The boys had fun playing in the water for a little while then it was back to the room to wait for Aunt Natalie to get off work. She got to the room about the same time as Ray, then we walked over to TGIF's for a late dinner. The next day we met up with Natalie & Mas and played at Toys R Us for an hour or so, then it was off to the main attraction...Chuck E Cheese's! It has become standard tradition that whenever we go to Boise we hit Chuck E Cheese's at least one time. We played for close to 3 hours, won 740 tickets, and came home with 2 bags of cotton candy, 2 rocket shooters, 2 dum dum suckers, and 2 air head candies. The ride home was horrendous and we had 2 screamers pretty much the whole way (Elli & Sean). It was not a fun car ride. However, at least the kids & I were able to get out of town and the time in Boise was fun.
