Clayton and Mekenna were able to go spend the first 2 weeks of August with Aunie and Papa. The first week was spent on a road trip and the last week was spent in Oregon. It sounds like their two weeks were full of adventure and great memories. I can't recall all that they did, but they visited Yellowstone, rode the train to Portland where they went to a big museum, and they visited their uncle Jason and aunt Christianna. Thank you Aunie & Papa for the valuable time (& I am sure $) you spent with Clayton & Mekenna.
After their two week trip we planned on meeting them in Boise, Idaho to make the exchange. We met Aunie, Papa, & the kids on a Friday night. We sat up and visited and them went to breakfast with them in the morning, but Dan (Papa) had to get back for work so that is where I journey with them ended.
We had planned one last summer activity before school started. We thought it would be fun to go to Roaring Springs a water park in Boise, and it was fun but very cold out. This was mid-August and for some reason a cold front swept through the area for the weekend. It was 70 degrees which is very cold for a swim park. We would hustle to the next body of water, because the water was warmer than the outside temperature. Even though we were freezing we had fun. We went on every water slide that we wanted to at least once and some a couple of times, and spent a lot of time in the wave pool. I guess the positive thing about it being cold was that there weren't as many people there so lines weren't long.
I didn't take any pictures because I didn't want to worry about the camera getting wet or stolen if we left it somewhere to go on the slides and in the pools. By the way the next weekend in Boise the temperatures were over 100 degrees, just our luck.
Group pictures-- the only pictures I took of the whole weekend!!
