We arrived in Boise at noon on Saturday afternoon just in time for me to run out the door to attend Jaron's high school graduation. It is strange for me to think he is graduating . . . he was 4 when I graduated high school. I don't feel that old, but I guess I am! It was a nice graduation ceremony and was surprisingly short for having more than 400 graduates.
We spent the next couple of hours visiting and doing a late "easter bag" hunt (a Blackhurst family tradition) before heading to Jeff and Amy's house for Deagan's blessing. It was nice to have it in there home. It felt very personal. Matt, mom, Jordan and I stayed up until almost 1 o'clock in the morning playing games (dad joined us for a while but had to head to bed so he could get up for meetings). Sunday evening everyone came over again to create "bunny hutches"--cute, little gingerbread cottages. I think ours won the most creative award. I guess that is what you get when 4 boys start throwing all the candy on without really caring what it looks like. Trey did do something pretty cute and creative though. He took the candy bunny and attached a piece of the edible grass to the rabbits hand and said the bunny was watering the flowers.
Monday was a fun day! We woke up to drizzling rain, but the boys had been looking forward to riding the greenbelt so we deciced to brave the rain anyway I am so glad we did (so are the boys)! It turned out to be perfect. We met at Veteran's Park and rode about 4 miles to Municipal Park where we met Amy for lunch. The kids, big ones included, had a lot of fun playing on the playground equipment. The big kids played tag while McKay, Zander and Maxton spent their time on the swings and slides. McKay preferred to slide headfirst, silly boy. After a while we loaded up and road the 4 miles back to Veteran's Park. What a fun day!
Zander and McKay had fun laying down on the sidewalk looking at the water and worms in the gutter.
Thanks dad and mom for a great weekend!!
