riggins camping trip

for memorial day weekend we took a camping trip to riggins. it is a very small "town" (using the term loosely) about 3 hours from here, up past mccall. it was our second camping trip since eli but our frist time sleeping in a tent with him. he was a little weirded out at first but warmed up to the situation quickly.

it rained the first day we were there so we called some friends that live in grangeville (a town another hour or so up from riggins) to see if they wanted to get together. they were available so we went to see their house and then out to lunch. it was good to see them and visit their town, which we've been wanting to do but weren't so enthused about the 4 hour drive from boise.

overall, it was a successful trip. i've been putting off camping since our last trip when eli was about 8 months old. that was not a fun trip for me because of eli's age/not being able to walk ect. but it was fun this time and eli was great...so maybe another trip before baby? we'll see.

extreme bowling...

last night we took eli for his first bowling trip. he had a great time and kept saying, "i love playing this game!" adam and eli bowled and i played photographer.

showing off...

the first picture is him showing off his bowling shoes (which he loved and cried when we had to give back!). the second is him showing off the blood on his shirt from his extreme bowling accident. he was on his second frame when he tripped and down he went chin first on his ball. he got a pretty good scrape/bruise and the inside of his mouth was also bleeding. he cried real hard for a bit and then gathered himself and bowled two games. it was a fun time.

oh babies!

these are my good friends tracy and suzanne. we are all due within about 5 weeks of each other. these were taken at tracy's shower today, it was a good time to see old friends (when i say old, i mean boise old, so all of about 3 years i guess).

1000 springs

we went to a place called 1000 springs with my parents and grandparents the other day. it is on the snake river and "home to the second largest aquifer in the country." the springs are just coming out of the cliffs making beautiful waterfalls. we took a boat tour while adam and my dad fished.
