State Track

This year State Track was in Boise, Idaho. Me, Katie, Mom, and Jaydon decided to go and planned a few fun things to do while we were there because we knew Jaydon couldn't sit and watch kids run for 2 whole days. So, on Thursday we went to the Boise Zoo and Chuck E. Cheese's on Friday. (FYI if you ever go to the zoo in Boise, go on Thursday bc its half off.) It is not as big as the Hogal Zoo, but is was pretty cool. It was raining the first 20 min. but we just got wet. :) We saw lions, tigers, bears, (oh my!), girrafes, monkeys, birds, etc. Here are are pictures from the zoo.



That night, after track, we went to our hotel. Our room was so big and it had a jaccuzi! Here is a pic of us in the jaccuzi. On Friday, we went to Chuck E. Cheese. That was pretty fun. The pizza was good. Jay loved to ride the rides and play the Skee Ball. We had a lot of fun and got a lot of tickets to get prizes at the end. Here are some pics.




Then, when we were done with Chuck E. Cheese, we went to watch the track finals. That was cool because they had a parade of athletes and it was fun to watch kids we know run. They all did a great job. Here are some pics of the parade of athletes.

Mother's Day

For Mother's Day we went to Shoshone Falls. It was so pretty! We had a picnic for lunch and took short hikes along the trails. Jaydon LOVED it! He liked the waterfall and the lizard he saw along the trail. It was also a really nice day. You could hear the falls a ways away! It was pretty loud and you could feel the mist. Here are some pics.
