quick trip to idaho

The beginning of March our friends, the Barker family, moved to Meridian, Idaho which is just outside of Boise.  Bobby's parent's own Olson's Greenhouse, and they are expanding their company with new greenhouses in Idaho so they sent Nate to be in charge of all of them.  As happy as we are for the great opportunity for Nate and Bobby and their family, we were so sad to see them go.  They love to do stuff with the family as much as me and Zac do, so when we met them a little over a year ago we instantly became great friends.  The good news is that both Nate and Bobby's families live here in Utah County so they will be down a lot to visit.  We gave them a few weeks to get settled into their new place and then we decided to take a little trip up to Idaho to visit them the second week of April.  Zion was so excited to see his "best friends".  They have a little girl named Kennedee that is 7, and three boys, Brooks is 5, Beckam is just a month older than Zion, and Hudson is just 5 months old.  Zion plays so well with their kids, which makes it so fun to get together with them.  We spent the first night just visiting at their house.  Saturday we went and explored the new greenhouses, watched Brooks soccer game, went to a place called Wahooz! which is kind of like the Provo Beach Resort here, and then left the kids with a baby sitter that night and went out to dinner with just the adults.  It was a quick trip with lots of driving, but it was totally worth it to see how excited Zion was to see his friends, and for me and Zac to be able to catch up with ours.  We took our camera, but the only pictures I ended up taking were a couple quick phone pictures one morning when the boys were playing on the bunk beds.
