A late June post

     The first week of June we decided to skip the last week of kindergarten (to Mrs. R's chagrin) and drive to Utah.  Jon wasn't able to come so I had to brave it myself.  I wasn't sure how it was going to be but the kids were absolutely wonderful. My nephew (from Utah) and neice (from Oregon) have birthday's just a few days apart. They both turned 8 the end of May so they decided to be share their baptism (in Utah...hence the drive to Utah)

We stopped in Boise to visit my Bro and Sis-in-law

The Hogle Zoo with" Grandpa-Roo"
I forgot my camera so I bought a cheap disposable camera-- the photos were absolutely inferior but we are happy that we have any pictures.  It was a long drive but we loved spending time with cousins and Grandparents. (more picts to come)

We left Utah on my birthday. I wasn't thrilled about driving on my birthday but I had a birthday present waiting for me in Boise.  I was surprised at how great it was to see my husband after not seeing him for a week.  He drove back to Portland with us.

My Great friend Kellena threw me a small party a few days later. There's me getting ready to blow out my "7" candles.

What fun! I'm glad you got to go, and that your children were wonderful. I love your sweet birthday surprise! You seem to have a great family!
