McCall -> Boston

Somehow I've managed to take hardly any pictures.  I'm going to blame my iphone.  Still waiting for my 6s - then there will be lots of great pictures I'm sure.  We made a quick trip to McCall so Jesse could set up his hunting camp.  We stayed with the Brouses and relived our ski team days!
 Delaney loves puzzles so I brought one with us.  Who knew I would spend hours and hours putting this damn thing together?  Only to have one 5 year old destroy it in under a second.  I was SO close...
 I ended up with this gaggle of girls at Oktoberfest!
 Always different this one...she wanted a snake!
 I may or may not have taken a nap on a park bench.
 We rushed home to attend the Idaho Botanical Gardens Harvest Festival. 
We typically love this event but sadly it's been discovered.  Still fun!
We could really do without the forest fires and 90 degree weather.
 Jesse and I made a quick trip to Boston.  I tagged along with Jesse went to a conference.  Lucky me - it was gorgeous!  We lucked out with a great view from our room in Copley Square.
 Had to get a picture of the island that Mr. and Mrs. Mallard make their nest on in "Make Way for Ducklings".  One of our most read books.
 Yea for conference dinners!
 I can't believe we have so few pictures.  Honestly, it's a shame as we actually dressed up a couple of times!  Mostly we just made our way around Boston via pubs.

Walla Walla Wine Weekend

Wow - I knew it was coming but I didn't think it would happen so fast.  40th birthdays are upon us...fast and furious.  I can't complain because we've been to some great parties with lots more to come!
 
We spent a great weekend in Walla Walla celebrating our friend Meggan.
We had great meals and lots and lots of great wine.  I think my side still aches from all the laughs!
 
Dinner at Whitehouse Crawford.  Complete with champagne
toast and wine pairing.
 I think we were at WW Vitners...
 By FAR the best stop of the day Abeja. 
Sweet shades on Jerry. 

 We travel in style!
 I had to visit my first home - 1004 E Francis!
Still as quaint as I remember.
 Lots and lots of laughing.

 Happy Birthday Meggan!
