Cousins Reunite!

We are forever thankful for the willingness that my sister and her family have to come visit us here in Boise. They made their third trip here last week. While it's a far cry from living 40 minutes away, it makes the distance seem less formidable. We had a great visit! Abby and Jake got along so well. They shared, they laughed, they talked (in fact they had some very funny conversations!). It was so nice to see how quickly they picked up where they left off- even though it had been since January that they had seen each other. There was a community concert and "family night" on Saturday evening. It was held right across the street so we set up a few shade shelters in our front yard and invited a few of the neighbors over. The kids had a blast. There was a bouncy house and root beer floats and we BBQ'd for everyone. That's Aidan with the watermelon. We went to the pool several times and hung out talking and catching up. Bill made lots of new friends (as he always does!). In fact, I am sure he is now closer to a few of my neighbors than I am! Since Brian and I are not particularly social, it would be nice if Kim and Bill could move here so we could make more friends through their incredible ability to befriend and meet anyone. (OK guys... you know there is a house for sale two doors down from ours....you could save a bundle on airfares!). Thanks for a great visit!
