The Best Park EVER!!!!!!

Okay so this really is the best park I've ever been to!It is a public park here in Boise and it has all you could ever want to do and more! There is a huge playground, rows of swings, a pirate ship play ground, rock climbing, musical instruments, and water! This is heaven to me! The kids love it so much and I just wish that New Jersey could have something this great!! In my dreams right?! Oh well we have been enjoying it while we've been here and I guess that's better than nothing! Also each Friday night this park has a movie night! I took my two nieces to see Nancy Drew and it was so much fun!! There are a lot of pictures but I just had to make sure you all knew how cool this place really is!!

Huge Garage Sale

I just thought I'd show you what I've been up to since arriving on the Boise scene! I have been cleaning out my parents house! We had this huge garage sale last weekend and I had to take a picture because I knew you would not be able to capture it's greatness if I just told you about it! Here is Eugene with all his stuff! There are still 2 attics, 2 sheds, and 1 room that could all be sorted through and sold! That may have to wait until next year!!

Haskell Boot Camp

The Soldiers Kelsey, Alex and David
David shows the kids how to cook spaghetti with meat sauce.
Xavier eating pound cake. (in his borrowed gear)
They got canteens to drink from.
Here I am taking the soldiers and Nurse Waffles to base camp.

I don't know what it is but all my nephews and nieces as you can see, love all things army! I'm not sure if this is an Idaho thing or a Haskell thing but they all have camo shoes and shorts and tees. They come over to my parents 3 and half acres and run through the fields with all their gear and play war. They have guns and code names and everything! Well David and my Dad let them eat MRE's just like the ones they used to eat in their own army days! The kids were in army bliss! Since Xavier doesn't have any camo gear or own a gun he was the nurse. They named him Nurse Waffles. I was the E vac in the golf cart! These guys are really into and I know my Dad loves that all his grandkids are into army and want to be soldiers when they grow up. I guess I'm going to have to go out and find Xavier some gear so he doesn't have to be Nurse Waffles anymore!!
