Great weekend

Our weekend actually started Thursday after the kids got out of school. We drove to Idaho to visit family and attend the Women's Fitness celebration. On our drive we were able to stop and see one of our cousins. Unfortunately the other cousin had to work later than expected and the mean lady at the business office would not let us see her. I was glad I got to see my cousin Erika and her daughter. I haven't seen her in atleast 5 years.



We then continued on our trek. The kids did great and before we knew it we were in Nampa. On Friday we went and picked up our shirts and other items that we needed for the walk on Saturday. We were able to do a little shopping and just have a fun time with my mom and aunt. Saturday we were all excited for the walk ready to have another great day. However, the weather decided that it would make our walk challenging. We would have to walk in the pouring rain (mind you it's not Mississippi rain). So away we went to Boise in the rain all geared up for our 5k walk/stroll. We did it. Adan and my niece Malia even walked part of the way and we only had to piggyback them the other part. Due to the weather we do not have pictures of the event, just pure memories. We normally take lots of pictures at the beginning, along the way and at the finish line. When I asked Adan if he had a fun time he said, "I had no fun at all."



If you ask Adan if he had fun in Idaho, he will tell you he loved it. (I think it is because he loves seeing his cousin Cristian and playing with all his fun boy toys.)
Anyways, On Saturday we did manage to do a little bit of shopping before it started raining again. Sunday we went to church, packed up the car and went off to my aunt's house for delicious food that my uncle cooked up. Ymm. I am also glad for all the pan dulce (sweet bread) my grandpa sent back for us. We had a great trip and are looking forward to the next three weekends that we will be traveling to see family for birthdays.
I do have one picture of the whole trip. I will add more when I get the copies from my sister, since she did take a couple before our walk and another cousin picture with the matching shirts I bought them.

Great job walking in the rain! That is fun that you are having your 6th year anniversary sometime this year, or had it sometime this year. Ours was on Sunday. That is great that you can see so much of your family! What a treat!
