We made the trek to Boise this past week. There were some glitches and we thought we might not make it out, but we made it and were so glad we got to spend the week with family. Calum had fun helping me pack, dad was a little concerned :)
The best glitch was thanks to my awesome pregnancy brain. We started our drive, and drove the 3 hours to Laramie only to realize that I had left my wallet in Denver, with all of mine and Kevin's credit/debit cards/checks and basically all means of us paying for our trip. We didn't even have money to fill up our tank to make it back to Denver. I had a mini panic attack. But luckily Kevin's dad was able to wire us some money and save our trip. It was a little scary having all that cash, but I'm not going to pretend that we didn't feel like big shots a little bit :)
Calum did awesome in the car. Give him some books, and binky and a corn dog and he's good to go!
We got to spend a little time with Grandma and Grandpa Foulger. Calum was happy to read books with them,
Sleep on their floor. Haha, he rolled of the mat we had for him and I found him like this.
and help/hinder their yard work.
Both times we dropped in it was warm enough for Calum to play in their fun yard, and was mad when it was time to go.
Once we made it to Boise, Kevin ventured on to McCall with the guys for a ski trip and Calum and I hung back and partied it up with the fam. We played outside.
Took baths.
Went Shopping.
Watched movies.
Snuggled.
Read Books.
And ate food!
Apparently, a little too much food, cause my 17 week old baby got really big this week!
Don't worry Kevin had fun too :)
He's crazy! He even pet a bobcat!
While all of that was awesome. The real reason we went up was to throw a carnival for my parents. They both turned 60 this year, and it's their 40th wedding anniversary! So we had to celebrate!
It was a surprise. We told them we were going out to dinner, and on the way, I feigned morning sickness and made them pull over. I then blindfolded them with makeshift bandanas (Calum's PJ pants) and drove them the rest of the way to the party.
And party it was. Complete with face painter, games, dancing, balloon artist and cotton candy.
Thanks for giving us an excuse to party Mama and Papa! We love you!
