Sleepless in Seattle

Ian went with Mom, Dad, Nanny and Grandad for a weekend trip to Seattle. We had a great time, walking the city, dining and shopping. For Ian, one of the highlights was a trip to the Museum of Flight at the Boeing Airfield and a trip to the famous Pike's Market. At the museum, Ian got to sit in the cockpit of a US Air Force 'Stealth' Bomber, went on Air Force One and saw some awesome spaceships too. Way cool. Ian also went to the top of the Space Needle, with terrific views from 520' feet up looking over Seattle.

On top of the mountain!

Ian went up Bogus Basin ski mountain last weekend to enjoy the views and cooler air. Nanny and Grandad came along too on what is only a short drive from our house. How lucky we are! We also see Ian enjoying an ice cream at his favorite ice cream shop .... and yes, it got very messy since it was a such a warm evening.

Boise Ballon Festival Fun!

Ian, Nanny Margaret (who is visiting this month) and Dad got up extra early on Saturday to watch the wonderful balloons take off in the annual 'Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic'. What a gorgeous morning it was, with perfect blue sky and a slight chill to the morning that quickly warmed up as the sun rose over the foothills. And yes, now Ian wants to go up in a balloon!
