Boise is Fun

"Why Boise is Fun" by Jackson...

1. My dad is here!

2. There's a pool right by our house! And the water is warm! And Dad swims with me!

3. All of the beds are on the floor! And you can bounce on them! And sit on them and watch George!

4. There are pretty girls that play with you and show you new things (Alyssa M.)!

5. There's the coolest playground right by our house! And a big field there for Hank to run around in!

6. I still have all of my favorite toys to play with! And the house is small so I don't lose them when I throw them all over the place!

Did I mention that there's a pool? And that Dad swims with me?



And did I mention that the beds are on the floor? And that you can bounce on them?



"Why Boise is Fun" by Mom:

1. My husband is here!
2. It takes 5 minutes to clean the small apartment we're in. (If you're wondering why all of the beds are on the floor - Jackson sleeps on an air mattress on the floor in one bedroom, Emmett is in a pack n' play in another bedroom, and Phil and I are sleeping on the master bed mattress on the floor in the "dining room" so the kids could have the bedrooms.)
3. There are lots of Targets, and a mall, and PF Chang's, and civilization!!!!
4. They have the nicest, newest Walmart here. There were actually some classy, stylish women in there wearing accessories and heels! I couldn't believe it! I felt under-dressed.
5. Fun friends are here, and we all live in the same apartment complex.
6. There are great parks for the kids and there's lots of things for kids to do.
7. My husband is here!!!!!

Seriously, Boise is a great town! I've only been here a few days and I would move here in a heartbeat. Although, it is crazy Africa-hot here right now. Highs in the 100's and 80 degrees at 10:00 P.M. last night. Yikes!

Great photos, and I love how you wrote it as Jackson and Emmett's "diary" - very clever. I'm glad you're in such a nice town and apartment, with lots to do. Jackson's haircut is so cute!

Emmett is really starting to pay more attention to his brother, isn't he?
Love you!

Glad you are having fun. We felt the same way about Boise. It was the first place Geoff and I had been that we REALLY felt like we could live there forever! Love that town. I used to work at the Gold's Gym in the Grove Hotel and at a very big Golds Gym (Parkcenter) at the east side of town....where are you guys staying?

What fun to read your blog! The boys are so cute and I enjoy seeing what all you are doing. I wish I could squeeze those "thunder thighs"!
Thanks again for sharing.
Love, Aunt Pam
