10 on Wednesday

1. We flew out to Boise, Idaho last Wednesday to visit the grandparents and Aunt Terri and her family. It was really nice to see everyone again. We had a great time!

2. We went to the Zoo Boise and saw many different kinds of animals. We saw a wild mink stealing food out of the bald eagle cage and getting away with their food without the eagles even making a single move. He was very lucky...We got the film footage on our cameras.

3. We went to the history museum and learned all about the history in Idaho. We stopped afterwards for lunch. We ate at a place called Souper/Salad.

4. On Saturday we headed down to the Boise temple and took a bunch of pictures. This temple reminds me of the Chicago temple. We went to Wahooz to play in the arcade, laser tag, bumper boats, and go kart racing. We all got soaked on the bumper boats, I won at mini golf, and Frank spun out a couple of times on the slick track for the go karts, and Travis dominated us all at laser tag.


5. On Sunday we attended church with Aunt Terri and the kids and than we had a nice BBQ afterwards. We had yummy steak and baked potatoes, coleslaw, corn on the cob, and salmon. Sarah had baked some cupcakes and I baked a German chocolate cake for Frank's birthday. Grandma/pa should us how to play hand and foot afterwards.

6. On Monday we were able to go horseback riding for an hour long trail ride. We had a great time and Aunt Terri and I were a little sore the next day. The scenery was beautiful and the horses were gentle and fun to ride. Terri's horse kept on trotting the whole ride causing her a bumpy ride. We stopped by a Mexican restaurant on the way home.

7. On Tuesday we just hung out and talked and I ran a few errands with Aunt Terri and Uncle Bobby. Just a lazy day! We had an early dinner and than headed down to the airport. Frank and I did a little shopping at the airport. The baby did good and we had a great flight back home. We arrived home around 1am and luckily for us the baby slept in. It will take me a few more days to get back to normal.

8. Today I went in for treatment #7 only 6 more to go until I can start on the next phase of my treatments and radiation. I'm half way through and I'm trilled! The doctor took me off the steroid medication and now my treatments are slightly shorter.

9. I'm looking forward to all of the season premieres coming up soon.

10. Frankie was asked to give his first talk at church. The topic he was assigned is Honesty. I will report next week how it goes :)
