May came to a close. First time for us in 4 years that we haven't had our sprinklers on yet, it's been so wet it feels like we're back in IL. As Sue says, "enough already, give me the sun" It's coming dear, along with the 90's and humidity, wait, it's Utah, no humidity :)
Took a short jaunt up to Boise ID this past Memorial Day weekend. The whole purpose for the trip was going to 
http://www.zipidaho.com/ Fantastic time. If you get a chance, do it, you'll enjoy it. I didn't zip cuz of weight requirements and fear of heights. check out my facebook page for the video as well as more pictures. Sue and kids had a good time. It's a series of 6 zip lines, starting out on a platform a few feet off ground you zip to tree (photo on here), from there you zip to 2 more trees before heading to a ground landing on the 4th one. The 5 zip line (wild turkey) takes you 1700 feet over a "canyon" and about 100' off the ground (hence my fear of heights) to another ground landing. The 6th and final one is 1800' long where you race whoever you'd like as it's a double line (not on the same line) 2 lines next to each other. Like I said, if you get the chance, try it, it's fun.

ID is a nice State to visit, nice scenery where we were, however, windy as all get out on the way up and the way home, felt like we were in WY or NE on the way back to IL. Speaking of way back, we're heading back to IL and IN for a visit with both sets of parents July 2nd to the 11th. Looking forward to that, it's been way too long.
Sue is making a trip in to Indy next week for a Cystic Fibrosis Mentoring program. She applied last year but wasn't selected. This year she was accepted and it just so happens to be in Indy where the center is. She's going to be staying with my parents while in town and no mom, I'm not coming in!! :(
Justin is winding down his Lacrosse season, pic attached. He's had a good season, lots of goals and tons of assists, he's sort of the team leader when he's playing, which is quite often. I hope he continues to pursue this passion, he's really a good little player. I use the term little as it is true until he grows.....we keep waiting, Junior year maybe :)
That's it for now!!
