Summer Break-Friday

yesterday (Friday) Mitchell and i went on a date!
at 8AM my brother J came to babysit and Mitchell and I headed to Hulls Gulch to go on a hike!
we had an awesome time the loop we took was 6.8 miles and we ended up running about 2 of them (trail running is SO FUN!) we had an amazing time just the 2 of us. after our awesome hike/ trail run we waled around downtown Boise until we found some place to eat (Costa vida-we had a coupon for a free meal!).
M man I loved spending time with you, hiking (especially trail running) with you was my favorite.

This is us trying to take a picture on M's phone while facing the sun. did not work out the best. but still worked

here both of us are trying really hard not to squint our eyes while facing the sun....

yes he is that awesome

and see how awesome i can try to be 

another bridge (the hike had 4 or 5 without water running below it. too late in the summer i guess

And yes i carried the day pack 75 % of the way because i am tough like that- and because then i had prime access to the water bottles....
On our hike we talked about our family goals and theme and the future. It was great. I do love that husband of mine!It felt so good to hike together and talk uninterrupted it was two of my most favorite things ever together! *Happiness sigh*
thanks for the great hike hon, lets do it again really soon ( pretty please).

oh and lest you think we left out our children let me assure you that we did make sure that we did some fun things with the kids last night, like going to that park and pulling them in the wagon and having a BBQ (courtesy of M man) the kids always love eating outside :) .
