Western Vacation--Week 1

It had been 2 years since we made it out west to visit the Shinsel family. We packed a lot in over 2 weeks, but some of my favorite moments were just watching cousins play together.











Most every morning, after eating their favorite kinds of cereal, the kids got to soak it the hot tub.











The first week, we drove to Boise for a family reunion. Our first day was at Wahooz, an indoor adventure park with some fun outdoor things as well. There was something for everybody there!

















The next day, we wore the kids out even more at the water park next door. Dorothy must have carried a tube up a hill for her favorite slide, at least 25 times!











Our last day, was Drakie's birthday, and we celebrated at a fun park.














It was so nice to see family, and especially to snuggle with baby Crew!

That weekend, Dave and I went in a date; Maxine, Amy and I went to a musical; Dave reconnected with his art teacher from high school; and we roasted marshmallows at Brent's house.
