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)

Cassia hands Liam the books...

...he scans them and puts them away. easy!

Boo at the Zoo!

It was crowded but fun, both kids rode on the merry-go-round and did some trick or treating. Cassia liked feeding the goats and the slide. Liam was quite spastic and enjoyed everything. He went as a dementor, Cassia as a tough fire fighter. 

Here they are feeding goats:

Monster Mash Dance

Liam had his first dance last night, the Monster Mash. He wore his Optimus Prime costume and a Santa hat. Not shy at all, he was the first kid on the dance floor and one of the last to leave. One of his classmates danced with him, they were hilarious. He told me it was the "most fun I had in my entire life" 

See for yourself:

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. 

Pics from the graduation party we went to in May I just forgot about until now

upset at me b/c she wants to leave
