Weekend in Boise

Pierce and Brown Papa making happy cakes in the sand box!Pierce going down the slide.
Cowboy up! He loved these horses. He learned to tell them Giddy up to go and whoa to stop. He loved to lead them around the pasture and feed them oats. It was so cute to watch him ride he would pat them and love on them. The horses names are Rojo and Nebo. He would also say," I want to ride them barebacks Papa!" And he did!
Brock's turn on the Horse. He is so cute!
Pierce leading the horses! He would say " No Papa I can do it all by my self!" Funny boy.

So this last weekend we went to Boise to go and visit Brown Papa and Brown Grammy. Pierce has been bugging us for quite some time to go and visit them. We have felt really bad that we haven't been up there very often. We had so much fun. We left Friday and drove straight through. Our kids did remarkably well until about Mountain Home... Trent and I also were feeling kinda ancy by that time too. It seems like and eternity from Mtn. Home to Boise. Anyways when we got there Grammy had a delicious dinner of her famous chicken rolls ready. Yummy! We then just went out and enjoyed chatting and playing outside. They have a great yard, any little kids dream: Horses, sandbox, playground, trampoline and lots of grass for Pierce to run on. Trent went out to a movie with his long lost buddy Cougar (Brandon) and I stayed back. We went for a walk and then it was time for bed. Ya right.... Brock had the ultimate WORST night of his life. He was screaming Bloody Murder until Trent at 1:00 AM decided to take him for a drive to try and get him to sleep. He returned at 3:30 AM with a screaming child that still was awake! He finally went to sleep about 4:30 AM! Yahoo! But at least he let us sleep until 9:30 AM. The next morning we spent outside as well. Pierce had horse ride after horse ride.. followed by many horse rides. He pretty much wore brown Papa out! He has no attention span so it was I wanna ride the horse.. I want to jump on the tramp, I want to dig in the sandbox, I want to swing on the swing set... over and over! The rest of the afternoon was spent at Trent's sister's house to play with cousins. They have the cutest cocker spaniel puppy, Abby. Brock loved her! We went out to dinner with them for some yummy Pizza at Idaho Pizza Company.. It was delicious! Later that night we returned, Pierce, Papa, Brock, and Grammy stayed back and Trent and I went on a cruise in his dad's new Corvette. Man that was so cool. It has some serious power. Trent was in heaven. All in all we had a great weekend. Pierce was extremely sad to leave and we vowed that we would never go that long again without making a trip there! We love you guys... thanks for a great time and putting up with our kids!
