Boise Zoo

We go to the zoo quite often because Emerson loves animals. The penguins are his favorite, but I'm sure you can tell from the look on his face!

that facial expression says it all!

Tovah and Eric Visit

Our friend from High School, Tovah, came down to Boise with her husband Eric and we had a great time. We journeyed to the Soul Food Festival in Julia Davis Park and had lots of good eats.

Oregon Coast and Portland

I'm sorry I haven't been updating the blog very regularly. I've been posting pictures to my Facebook account more often because I can post more pictures and more family members have access.

In July we ventured to Portland for Grandpa Jerry's memorial and decided to make a stop at the Oregon Coast first and then work our way back to Portland. We realized we had never gone anywhere with just the three of us. We always take trips with other family members so we had a lot of fun just spending time together.
