Birthday in Boise

OK, as the final few hours of May wind down, I must confess that it is sort of a relief to turn the page on the calendar. Its been a whirlwind month. My picture file for May says 598 pictures taken, but I have a few more to download! Whoa. I'm tired.
Anyhow, the tons of pictures just means that we had a ton of fun. Last weekend especially! We met up with Grandma and Grandpa, Gretchen and all the boys in Boise for Hayden's birthday blow out! Good times!
First stop was Boondocks, if you've ever driven through Boise, you for sure have passed it and said, "wow, that looks like fun!" You would not be wrong. Even on Memorial day weekend, it was really fun. Bumper boats, Go Karts, mini golf, the arcade, prizes and snacks. What more could a kid ask for? Well, maybe a water slide or two, but they weren't open yet and we gotta save something for later in the summer, right?
Hayden and Sage rode the bumper boats with Daddy and soaked Grandpa, Uncle Will and Gabe, Dalton and Grayson. They got a bit back in return too.
Then, we rode the go karts. Hayden was a little nervous about them, so he rode with me because I am a chicken too. We pretty much got lapped by everyone.
Marlee slept through putt putt golf, but everyone else seemed to have a good time. The arcade was last. Think Chuck E Cheese. Actually they had some really fun games. The motorcycles were really fun. Aunt Gretchen figured out which games score the most tickets so Sage cleaned up on the prizes. If only we had gotten 360,000 tickets, we could have won a Wii...

So jealous, but glad you guys had fun!
Love Marlee in the bathtub with a cupcake, and sleeping in the stroller while you played golf - that girl knows how to party. :)
