Five nights down, and cabin fever is starting to settle in. A room with two queens and an air mattress is very "cozy" for a family of five. Trying to keep things in order is a job in itself, and not a small one at that. I hate the fact that if you need to pee... everyone in the room knows, and God forbid you pass gas! There is no privacy! I can't even shower without someone coming in and needing something. I am trying hard to use humor to get through this trip, and trying even harder to see past other family members selfishness.
It's not all bad, we have had some fun. We spent our last day in Mountain Home going to the museum.It was better than I thought it was going to be. It is all a donation not a set price like most museums. We had a guided tour who was wonderful and knew a lot about the history of the area and all the items in the museum. She was great with the kids and really catered to them, even gave them some packets to take with them and color. Autumn loved the player piano, she hadn't ever seen one before. She thought it as crazy how it plays the music and the keys move by themselves.
Our first day in Boise was busy but really fun. We had a get-together with family and friends at Eagle Island State Park. It was a lot of fun, would have been better if Jacksons wasn't having a company picnis at the same time. It made the line for the water slide long and slow, but we stil had a good time. Austin had refused sun screen at first and is now red and sore. I am not too sympathetic for him, at fifteen he knows how sensitive to the sun he is. :o) We are going to slow it down for the day. Family will show up this afternoon and we'll probably swim in the hotel pool.
** Here's a note of interest... Autumn finally lost the loose tooth she has been hanging onto forever!!! She lost it after she bit into some popcorn at Wingers at dinner. It was a mess, but she was fine two minutes later..... goofing off and putting her gummy snack in the space where her tooth was.**
