Free ferris wheel and carousel rides on the last day of the Western Idaho Fair warranted a second trip for us! We met up with cousins Josiah, Ruthie and Daria, Aunt Renee and her Mother&Sister-in-law for some good old-fashioned State fair fun! Phoebe even got to accompany us for her first carousel ride! (But she wasn't allowed on the ferris wheel).
On September 3rd we celebrated the 3rd anniversary of the day we met by soaring on cloud nine in a hot air balloon! It was an amazing adventure that we can now cross off of our "things I've always wanted to do" list :
After our first attempt at a camping trip was failed by thunderstorms and hail, we managed to get one fun family camping trip in at Bruneau Dunes State Park. Renee and her kids accompanied us, as well as her sister-in-law Vicky. The kids all had fun climbing the dunes, swimming in the lake, and playing around the campground with eachother and the other kids they met.
Mekhi is getting so big... we had to go buy Boys' clothes for him as he is now officially to big for the Toddler section! He now wears 4/5 in boys' clothes. We went to the Boise Art Museum with playgroup for Toddler Wednesday, where Mekhi completed his first watercolor masterpiece :)
