Howard Family Vacation

The end of June we had the opportunity to spend time at Tyler's parents' house. It was great because we not only got to see THEM, but we were able to see ALL of his siblings and their families. We even got to meet our newest niece, Taylee! It was great.

We spent time hanging out, watching movies, going bowling, attending the Weiser fiddle festival, Tyler played golf and basketball with all the brothers, we played tennis, we went to parks, and even hit up the Boise Circus Parade and Nature Center. The cousins blew bubbles, went for rides on the four wheeler with Grandpa Kent, watched lots of Disney movies, drew with sidewalk chalk, threw pop its, got glow sticks, colored with crayons, chased the dogs around, swam in the kiddie pool, and Quincy and Jakoby even got to watch the Cars 2 movie with Grandma and Grandpa Kent.

Perfect weather!

Braxton passed out...

All the boys playing in the pool.

Braxton LOVES the water! Can you tell?

Quincy, such a good smiler for the camera.

Braxton wishing he could play.

Look! I found a racket, Dad!

The shirt Quincy is wearing in the picture above is a shirt I bought for Tyler at Christmas this past year, but it was too tight for his liking... sooooo I tailored it down to Quincy's size. Perfect fit! My sewing skills are improving.

Quincy and Mom. :)

Baseball.... America's favorite sport.

B loved going for rides on the fourwheelers. Anytime we asked him where Grandpa Kent was he would look outside and say "buh-pa"  (his word for Grandpa).

Quincy always picks me flowers wherever we go.

Mike and Rylie.

Braxton loved running outside.

And of course following his favorite best friend.... Charlie!

The start of the Circus parade.... a definite false advertisement for the lame stuff to follow.

The boys loved the motorcycles of course.

Braxton was always trying to run out in the street.

Quincy.

Our family at the parade.

Not too pleased that he is not allowed to escape.

Fun looking at fish at the Boise Nature Center.

Beautiful scenery.

Happy Rylie.

We even saw a deer while walking through the outdoor part of the Nature Center. Pretty Sweet!

Pretty roses in bloom.

Among other flowers.

Kelly and Rylie.

B loves going down slides.... sometimes he thinks he can do it himself.

Quincy and Jakoby were best friends... and partners in crime.

After 11 days we were thoroughly exhausted, but it was well worth it to spend time making fun memories with family!
