Living it up in Boise

We have had a delightful time visiting here in Boise for the last couple of weeks.  Much of our time has been spent getting to know our granddaughter, who was born just a few months into our mission to El Salvador.  She is quite the little gem from Idaho.  Here are a few photos of our time together.

Taking her dolly for a Sunday stroll in her prettiest dress.  She does love that stroller and takes all her favorite things for rides in it.

 Checking out the play house grandpa made for her.

 Playing in the water out on the patio.  It was cold and wet when we got here, but it is nice and warm and sunny now.  She loves getting wet.

 All tuckered out.  She takes naps on the floor alot, but this time she got at least half way onto the bed.

 At the zoo with the Wallaby.

 What she really liked about the zoo.  There were these places where you could go up a few steps to see the animals better.

I think this one was at the Hyena place.  She just loved going up and down the stairs, then running around and doing it again.

There were these animatronic dinosaurs in the bushes all over the park that would roar and move about.

She was not so thrilled with that part.

We love going to the Farmer's Market in downtown Boise on Saturdays.

And she loves playing in the water.

 Her favorite pasttime - standing in the window sill watching all the world go by.

 Coming off her favorite bus ride at the park.

On the big slide.

 She went to the mall with grandma and came back with a bear.  This is a short video of her walking through the mall.  She walks everywhere on her tippy toes.  I don't know how she does it.

Her signature smile.
