Bosie for the Weekend

Jared had Friday off and we wanted to get out of the house and enjoy some somewhat warmer weather, since we missed out CA trip. My cousin, Josh was going to be competing at State for Gymnastics, so we decided to head up to Boise to watch him.

On the drive up we stopped to do our first Geo-Cache of the season. Not sure where this was. I wasn't really paying attention. But as you can see is was a nice clear day. Blue sky's and still some snow on the distant mountains.

Looking for the Cache. RJ hated walking through the brush. He was afraid that he was going to get hurt. I have such a chicken son.

Finding the Cache.

We found a travel bug inside. Savannah feel in love with this Turtle. He was hard to get her away from it. This Turtle wanted to go to Ocean City, Maryland. It had started in Southern CA and made its way up through Oregon and Washington and then over into Idaho. Jared is heading to Virgina this week so he is going to hide it in a Cache back there. It was hard for Savannah to depart from this new friend.

We took the easy road back to the car so we didn't have to hear RJ complain about the brush.

Savannah had to pick up all the rocks and through them. It made for a longer walk back to the car.

Finally a picture of all of us. This is very rare.

Look green grass! We stayed in a hotel on the river. This is of the view from the back entrance our room. We took a few walks around the river. It was a little chill, but so nice to be outside again.

On Saturday morning we took the kids to the Discover Center of Idaho (link). It was a lot of fun and RJ can't wait to come back again.

Looking at a gaint Yo-Y0. RJ thought this was very cool.

Seeing what will happen when the balls bounce on each other

They have a mini grocery store as well as a mini veterinarian center. This was RJ's favorite part.

Savannah loved watching the balls float in the air.

After a lot of coax we were able to get RJ to lay on this bed of nails. Once he realized that it didn't hurt, he thought it was the neatest thing.

We met up with Seth and family later that night to watch Josh's Gymnastic Meet.

Josh started Gymnastic last August. He started in Level 1 and was quickly booted up to level 4. He competed in 2 competition at this level and took first place in everything making all the parents upset. So again he was moved up. Now he is in level 5 and is still getting high scores.

Josh is the one in the middle. He took first place a State for his level and age group. He won't be going to regional, unfortunately because of lack of funds. Maybe next year.

The lighting was horrible and they had us take or flashes off. But there is a video below of Josh's floor routine. Congratulations Josh for taking State!
