Oregon - Day 1: Boise

After the kids all woke up and got ready we finished packing the car and then started our drive towards Boise.
We were all very excited to be starting our big trip to Oregon.  We decided that we would take two days to get to Coos Bay so that we wouldn't have to drive super long hours each day.  So Boise was our first stop.
We checked into our hotel and then got changed into our swimsuits to go swimming in their really fun pool.  I was bummed that I didn't bring my camera to the pool so I didn't get any pictures of the kids playing in the water.  We had the whole pool to ourselves and it was so nice.  We had so much fun playing with all the pool toys and being silly.  Allie was done swimming first so Tony took her up to the room to get her bathed and dressed while the other kids kept swimming.
After a while I decided it was time to get the rest of us cleaned and changed.  When we were all ready we got back into the car and headed to Costco.  We needed gas and we needed to pick up a dessert for a BBQ that we were going to at my cousin Mandy's house.

After Costco we headed straight to Mandy's. She also invited her two sisters that live close.  It was so much fun to see my cousins and their families.  I love my extended family and truly don't get to see them enough.  The kids had fun playing with the other kids and have asked to go back there next time we are in town.
After dinner we headed back to the hotel to put the kids to bed.  We were all pretty tired and it didn't take too much time for us all to be sleeping.  It was a good first day of our trip.
