one last babymoon

i was telling andre`a a few weeks ago i was bummed we never made a babymoon happen this time
she offered to watch our kids at her house over labor day weekend
but then decided to come here and watch them
and to come the day after my birthday
she drove 8 hours here to watch our combined 8 kids overnight by herself
we were so excited to see them 
the kids waited outside for them to pull up
 and did i mention she's pregnant, too?
only 6.5 weeks behind me
she is the sweetest
 she sent us on our way shortly after arriving
and we went straight to our hotel in boise called the grove
we were on the 12th floor with a good view





 we went out to dinner at fork that night
 and then saw a late movie at the flicks
we loved it
 the next morning we slept in and checked out of our hotel
 we walked through the farmer's market and got a late breakfast at juniper
it was delicious and fun to people watch during breakfast
 we walked down freak alley after breakfast 
 and checked out st michael's thrift store
 then we drove up bogus basin before getting a couple's massage at a salon/spa in boise
not the best massage for either of us but we were glad we finally did it
we finished our babymoon with a late lunch at grimaldi's and then went home to hang out with andre`a and her kiddies some more before they left the next morning
it was so amazing to get some time with michael before this baby comes
and beyond sweet of andre`a to come here and take care of our kiddies
we are so grateful
and excited for this baby to get here in 4.5 more weeks

I love that you enjoyed people watching during breakfast. Normally we're always people watching but they are little people and they are ours! You guys have such a great relationship and I'm so happy for you! Oh, and your sister is totally the best.
