A Saturday Full of Fun

Devin's brother came to visit for the long weekend.  They floated the Boise River and the girls and I went to the zoo.

 

We picked them up at the end and got a few pictures.

They looked a little wet.  Their reply, "We flipped it."  Daren ran them into a tree and fell out causing the kayak to flip over.  Everything was accounted for though, flip flops and all. 

 

I think Ryleigh's favorite animal is a camel.  Ok, maybe it is our favorite animal that she imitates and we ask her to do it all the time.  Next time you see her, ask her what a camel does.  They didn't have a real camel so this one had to do. 

This time around she was too nervous to feet the goats.  She did it once and wouldn't do it again.

Bailey wasn't too sure about those goats sticking their heads out so close to hers.  One of them started nibbling on the stroller.

This was the last weekend for Butterflies in Bloom.  Ryleigh wasn't too sure she wanted to go in with almost 2,000 butterflies flying around in such a small space.  Both of them loved it though.  Butterflies were everywhere.  Several people had numerous ones landing on their hats and shirts.  The only one that landed on us was on Ry's shoe and she didn't like that at all.  She quickly shook it off.

 

We stuck around in Boise for the Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic Night Glow.  It was scheduled to be from 6-9.  We got there hoping the balloons would be out and maybe some be filled up that we could take a look and then head home.  Nope, at 7:00 they started showing up with trailers.  The Remax balloon filled up then deflated. 

 

Ryleigh passed the time wrestling with Uncle Daren

 

 

At 8:00, Mickey balloon filled up, spun around for everyone to get a picture, then deflated.

 

8:30ish all the balloons were out ready to roll.  8:55, finally, the glow had started.  It was such a long wait but ended up being pretty cool with them all lit up in the dark.  The time should have said from 8:30-9:00.  We were all getting pretty impatient, except Ryleigh.  She insisted we stayed until she saw 5 balloons inflated. 

 

Then it was home to watch the opening game for the Ducks!
