Unexpected trip to Boise

Well we knew Nates grandma was old and her time here on earth was slowly coming to an end but it happened too soon as I only met her once for her birthday a year and a half ago. She seemed like a sweet lady then as I am sure she was as he was growing up.

So last Wednesday night after my church activity we loaded up the van and the girls and headed on the 5 hour drive up. The girls did so well and fell asleep after the first hour and slept the rest of the way up (even through a gas and bathroom break). It was a nice, peaceful trip talking with my man and enjoying the drive. 

We stayed with Nate's sister Laura and her husband Bruce. We helped clean his grandmas house, went on a date with Laura and Bruce, had the funeral which the Mihu children sung a beautiful song of 'Nearer my God to the' and was a beautiful service at the gravesite of which is what she wanted. Nate also made a beautiful memory book of all the Mihu children and there memories of grandma and grandpa. We celebrated Nates birthday with cupcakes and ended the trip to the aquarium in Boise. It was a nice trip but also very tiring and all the kids did so well!

The living planet aquarium free day

Today was a free admission day to the living planet aquarium and it was pretty busy but we still had fun. Paisley loved the sharks and Emery loved anything swimming so between the two we spent most of our time in the underwater section:
