Boise Trip

Benj and I took a much needed vacation to Boise last week. We arrived just in time for Lunch and went to an AMAZING Indian Buffet. Benj was in heaven. I was surprised at how delicious it was.

After stuffing our faces we went to the mall and bought Benj some new swimming trunks. Then we hit the pool at the hotel. Then we got ready for the most wonderful night EVER!!!!

Can you see how excited I am to go to Wicked? I was waiting to see this show since 2003 when it first came out on Broadway. I have been a fan for eight years! And finally I got to see it! It was everything I hoped it would be. The acting and singing were amazing and I think I cried 3 times just because I was happy to be there.

The next day we had some time to kill, so we went to the zoo. There were a million fieldtrips going on and I think Benj and I were the only ones there without a stroller. It was a really fun day. My favorite were the monkeys. They were swinging all over the place. They were amazing.

You probably can’t see it, but there is a cute little Wallaby standing right behind me.

You can’t really tell, but there is the cutest little baby Wallaby in that momma’s pouch.

This sloth bear was so funny. He crawled up into that hammock thing and kept sticking his nose up over the top.

These funny little prairie dogs look like they are kissing. There were these little tunnels that the kids could crawl under and see the prairie dogs from inside their cage.

The Meer cat's were cute little guys, too. They were little entertainers.

Boise was so warm and flowers were blooming everywhere.

Anniversary Trip

Benjamin and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary in Utah. We spent our anniversary having fun in Salt Lake, just the two of us. We also got to spend some time with family for a couple of days.

We got to hang out with cute little Kalina and Anthony and Kylie. We went to church with them and had a delicious Sunday dinner that Kylie made. The next night we all went out to eat at The Cheesecake Factory.

We drove into Mapletown just as the sun started to set over Maple Mountain. Isn’t is it pretty?

We spent time with Grandma Alma. We also got to hold Benj’s cousin Philip’s new baby, Isabella.

Isn’t she just the cutest little thing you’ve ever seen? I just loved holding her.

Happy Anniversary, Benj!
