Whole Foods Grand Opening!

Boise has a Whole Foods! Grand opening was on Wednesday at 10am, but they had a free oatmeal breakfast at 9:30. Cassia and  went, she had a "nana" and "bobos" (banana and berries) and I had a banana and free coffee (I was cold and it was free, it was good but still like tea more).  While we were eating a little boy about Cassia' age waved at her from his dad's shoulder. 

Me: Cassia can you say hi to that baby?
Cassia: NO

OK then. 

We saw the people who run it, who I guess have wanted to build this store for 6 years and Whole Foods was really excited to be here. They are going to  be working with a few local charities like the Boise Bike Project and Boise Urban Garden plus local farms. Our mayor was there, Mayor Beiter, plus the BSU marching band. It was packed, Jerad went after work and it was still busy. I need to go back without a tired baby so I can do more shopping but I did find chai tea, mint soap, a new shopping bag, and  a thumbprint cookie for Cassia. We took Jerad a snack at work, Meyer lemonade, red ginger lemonade, and a caramel pretzel brownie. We missed it but we need to go back, we had a sample on the way out of curried hummus and it was amazing. We love Whole Foods!!

(no worries Boise Co-op, we still love you too)

Lunch at the Basque Market

It was our first time at the Basque Market and we definitely want to go again. There's not only a cool gourmet store inside but the lunch is really fun - you pick from a variety of appetizers and pay by how many you pick. We had roast almonds, olives with herrings, and rolls with prosciutto. 

Lunch on the patio

Picnic (again)

We eat lunch outside almost everyday now, one thing we will miss when it gets colder. Probably the only thing we will miss when it gets colder (we all like fall).

We took a family day before I took the kids to MT.

we're changing things around

I moved Cassia's kitchen into her room and Liam's table out in the living room. Both kids seem to like it more.

Practicing for first grade!

Meet Cassia

Boise Zoo

I surprised the kids by taking them to the zoo this morning. Liam had the map and navigated, Cassia wandered around and ate leaves on the ground.
