grandma's visit :)

we just spent a nice long week with my mom from sunny HOT phoenix... first we took her up to gorgeous mccall to spend most of the week camping. the weather was perfect! we rode waverunners, played on the beach, ate LOTS of yummy food, played games, watched movies, went for walks - even had several deer come by to visit our little campsite.

i just love food network...  one of my favorite shows is "cupcake wars."  have you seen that show?  you will want to make cupcakes all the time.  i've been wanting to visit our cupcake shop here for a while now so we did!  SUCH a fun, adorable little store!  it's in eagle, idaho and it's called Lily Jane Cupcakes.  here's the link.  if you live in the area you have to stop in.  YUM!  http://lillyjanescupcakes.com

another favorite pasttime of ours is the boise farmers market.  we stop at the kettle korn stand first (and buy a jumbo bag) then we try everything else we can find!  local produce, homemade pies, hot donuts w/ chocolate dipping sauce, beautiful sunflowers, toffee, fresh breads of ALL kinds, homemade rootbeer, i could go on and on.....  if you haven't been you have to go!  9:30-1:30 downtown.  take lots of cash and enjoy the fantastic local vendors!
