Chuck E cheese

For some reason the girls, especially Eliza, were begging me to take them to Chuck E Cheese. I think it might have something to do with the fact that Doc McStuffins went to the arcade in one of the episodes they watched recently. I figured we hadn't been for a while and since Eric is out of town I decided  we could go Friday after camp. They were so excited!!! Everyone had a great time. They now have a program called, "Every Child A Winner" where you get a card when you come in. Gretta & Carli's cards were good for 20 free tickets and Eliza got a chance to go in the Ticket Blaster. She decided to let Gretta go for her since she didn't know what the Ticket Blaster was. Gretta was so excited. Even Carli had a great time. 

Afterwards we stopped at the mall to get the girls jean jackets and jean skirts. Gretta had to wear hers home even thought it was over 90 degrees outside. She thinks she is a teenager! Notice her pose. 

Thanks Nana for the jean jackets and skirts:)

Fun at the Carousel

We went to the carousel. I didn't get a picture of it, but all three girls rode in a row. Carli was on one of the horses that doesn't go up and down and she liked that a lot better. I just love going to the Carousel. 

And so it begins

After being home less than 24 hours we took Eric to South Bend for his flight to Detroit and then on to Sao Paulo Brazil. He is going to find housing, schools, etc for our big move next month. He is also going to find out more of what his role will be in LAR. 

Good luck Eric! We will miss you:)

Thanks Nana and Pops!

We had such a great time in Idaho! Thanks Nana & Papa for spoiling us rotten. 

McCall

We went up to McCall with my parents. It was a beautiful drive. Idaho is very beautiful  even it seems very dry to me after living in Michigan.  Michigan could just use some mountains and it would be perfect. Oh and have all of our family close by too. 

We stopped at Kelley's Whitewater park on the way. Then Pops took us to Alley Ice Cream. We enjoyed swimming in the pool. Making Smores on the lake at Shore Lodge. Swimming in Payette Lake. Boating on Payette Lake, 

It was a fun trip!

Boating with the Marti's and Captain Jack

We went boating twice while we were in Boise. Gretta and Eliza loved the tube. I am super impressed that Eliza even went by herself. I even took a trip on the tube with Gretta for old time sake. 

It was almost 100 degrees in Boise, so it was perfect boating weather at Lucky Peak. Gretta is dying to try skiing or wake boarding. She is going to have to wait until next year:( 

Eliza got a turn to try driving the boat too. 

Thanks Pops for a great time!!!!

251 Oakhurst Way

I drove the girls by the house I grew up in 251 Oakhurst Way. The neighborhood still looks great, and the house pretty much like I remember it. Isn't is crazy that my parents moved 19 years ago to their "New House" on Tablerock.
