Unfortunately, I was not able to go to the zoo with Eliza for her field trip, however, I could take the boys and meet her there. It took us a little while to find her, but while looking we found some other fun things to look at.
there was also a lot of laughter and fun. We found her shortly before the rain began to fall. It was still a fun day, shortly before school let out.
We started our summer vacation out a little early with a little hike up 'Lizard Butte'. I made this hike once as a little girl while visiting my Grandmother. The kids have been excited to hike it since moving to Boise.
Even Archie had fun exploring the views and the hikes.
From on top you cannot see the lizard you are standing on. But if you cross over the river into Marsing, then head back you can see the lizard on the mountain. 
We also spent time at the Discovery Center. This was fun because we were able to spend it with friends who decided to visit us as a last minute decision.
We spend the warm (not too warm) times in the yard hanging out and enjoying the hammock (one of the words Jake can say :) )
Maddison receiving the Presidential Award during her 5th grade graduation. Way to go Maddie. Middle School here I come. Mom sais, "Ahhhhh, I can't believe she is growing up so fast."
A whole lot of fun at the park !!!
Look, Caden can do the monkey bars. Wahoo. This was an exciting day. Another fun accomplishment is Jake learning to pedal a bike, now we can't keep him off of one.
Last Day of School !!
Archie celebrated the last day of school with surgery on his tonge. This is not fun for anyone, but maybe when he is 5 and wants to lick an ice cream he will be able to.
A bath made him happy, and cleaned him up.
For Eliza's birthday we gave her a week of art lessons . The topic was "Black and White". This is one of the five projects they did. I was impressed with her work.
And for her birthday, on her birthday, Eliza gets to be baptized. She is so excited!!
