Boise Reunion

I guess I am just catching up for a while. I want to post about this weekend, but first I'll jot down a bit about our family reunion.

Every 2 years we get together somewhere- this year was DH's hometown of Boise, ID. We stayed with his parents and the kids got to see their cousins, which is a rare event and something they really look forward to.

We swam in the neighborhood pool 3 times, rafted the Boise River, picnicked, played games, had a carnival, and decorated cardboard cars for our "drive-in movie." It was a good time and we appreciate all the hard work and effort that went into it!

One of the favorite carnival events for E: archery

E having his palm read at the carnival- we found out later that he interpreted the prediction that he would someday "leave his family" (when he was grown up) to mean that he was soon going to be sent to live with another family. He worried about it for days before telling my mom what he was so anxious about.
