Boise Trip

I say Boise, but really, we were in Utah, too - We got in Sunday morning about 6:45. Woke up my parents, who got up & made us breakfast. Bad night of driving, the kids are too big and the car is NOT comfortable. So finally - about 3:a.m. I laid the seats all down to expose a larger back seat where everyone could lay down - including Brynn who didn't sleep a wink up until that point.

So we're all tired & crabby.

Monday we went to Roaring Springs.

Wednesday we went to the Voodoo doctor for Howie's asthma, which turns out he was alergic to his own spit and feces. Yep, you read that right. Treated him for that w/ electric pulses (the "new" accupuncture) and he should be good to go.
Thursday went to the Voodoo doctor for my monthly headaches & kidney pain. He cured me, my headache went away and my kidneys have been mostly pain free! Turns out they were in the wrong place, doing sit ups after having lithotripsy pulled them down - he pushed them back up & told me to do sit backs instead of sit-ups. Not only that, I got rid of quite a bit of pebbles the next day - that was nice. I'm not in nearly as much pain as I've been the last 3 or so years.
Thursday (after Voodoo visit) we drove to SLC for Luek family reunion.
Friday Lagoon:

(Here we have Ross, Kiersten, Kali & Carrie and look at Crysty on the far right! AHAHAHAA!)

Carrie, Rachael & Brynn on the chopper!


Saturday muddy beach




Sunday tour temple square




Monday drive back to Phoenix - through Zion's National Park...or Canyon or something like that...
Tuesday wake up bright & early for swim team. Ended up raining and I thought they'd cancel, turns out - the only cancel w/ lightning...no lightning, so we get to swim. 20 loads of laundry behind.

I LOVE that picture of your family near the Temple!! What a cute family keepsake! :)

Every time I read Carrie, Kali and Kiersten - it reminds me of me (Kari) and my sisters Kallie and Kathy. All those kkkk's are quite the tongue twister!!

Looks like a Fun trip! And you must tell me about this Voodoo doctor - maybe *I* need to see him for my kidneys? Seriously I could use some help!! What are sitbacks?

Too funny about the voodoo doctor! We call them witchdoctors. ;) Hope that works out for you! GREAT pics - but where are all the ones of YOU and the kids? LOL! You have such gorgeous kids though - I can't get enough of them! Sounds like a great trip but now it sounds like you need a vacation from your vacation!
