Our Minnetonka Cave Adventure

So a couple of weeks ago we went on a little day trip to Minnetonka Cave in Idaho. It was such a fun day and we got to spend it with our best friends. The cave is so great and has so much history! It has 444 stairs ( one way) and 444 on the way back out. It is great exercise haha! My legs felt like jelly two days after! We also had to carry our 2 year old the whole time which I definitely wouldn't recommend.  It was a great experience for our kiddos and such a great memory! If you ever have a chance to go, you won't regret it!

Family Day

Today we had an awesome family day! My hubby had the day off so we packed a lunch this morning, packed the kids up and headed out.
First, we went to Hyde Park and went to pick fresh berries! I had no idea that there was a berry farm right where we live. It's beautiful and they not only have black berries and raspberries but they have peaches and grapes too! The kids had a blast picking them and enjoying the sunshine. Olivia was so funny and decided to "pick" dirt lol. Then she got into picking right before we left. It's such a pretty spot and I'm so glad we found it! It was my favorite part of today.

Then we headed to a park in Smithfield and had a picnic lunch and the kids played on the play set.

 Then, we went to our local zoo where we got to see the bobcat get fed and show off and the Bald Eagle get fed. The kids and Adam had fun feeding the ducks and one even ate out of his hand ( I had no idea that the ducks were that brave) and it was so much fun watching it. Olivia was brave enough to get close to the ducks and she was thrilled to help feed them.

We finished the day at the splash pad and getting a donut ( I totally forgot to take pictures of the last two activities but hey that's mom life right?)
All in all, it was a great last summer day and such a fun time with my little monkeys!

Long time no see!

Wow! It's been a long time since I posted anything. Life just keeps happening and I'm going to be better!

Sophia turned 8 and Olivia turned 2. We had awesome birthday parties for both girls and can't believe they are growing up so fast! 

It's the end of summer and I can't wait. The kids start school next week on the 22nd and I have back surgery on the 24th. It's going to be good cause then I can rest mostly while they're at school!

So today we went to the park ( before it started raining) and then came home and made butterflies! This is the first craft we've done in a long time and it was so stinking easy! The kids did have fun ( even if it doesn't look like it lol). They're ready for school to start too I think! We've had a great one but are ready for a new scene.

It's been a fun summer filled with tons of fun things and friends and family. Can't wait to see what the future brings!
