My boss and friend, Kelleen, lives in the prettiest place in the Magic Valley. She lives at Niagara Springs which is in the canyon in Wendell, it is also the WMA and Steelhead Hatchery.

The waterfalls, ponds, river, walking trails, endless pavement for biking and huge yard are a great place to spend a day. Last Sunday we spent the afternoon and evening playing there with the Williams family. They have an incredible lifetime opportunity to go teach in Africa and will leave in July. Emma and Maitea will have to learn to e-mail. The two of them have quite the friendship and it will be really hard to say goodbye. We plan to have many fun days with them before they go. Here are some photos of our adventure.

(thanks Monte)

This is Emma's bff, Maitea. Tea's mom and I dressed the girls as twins and didn't tell the girls.

They were so ExCiTeD to see each other.

If you love their shirts, be sure to check out the Fickle Pickle from my blog list.

The girls looked so cute in their dresses, i just wanted one good picture...NICE Emma
ok, better of Emma but Elly, could ya look at the camera?

This is how it ended, with Elly escaping her sister and plumitting off the couch!

Saturday, May 9th, Elly Scooted over to her music table and pulled herself up.

I was happy and sad at the same time

The two princesses.

On Cinco De Mayo, Emma was a mexican princess. She learned all about the day telling us "today a long time ago, France and Mexico had a battle and Mexico won. Now I am a Mexican Princess" Her school celebrated the day by making maracas, breaking a pinata, and engaging in spanish traditions. Mrs. Ana, you are great!

We didn't have a sambraro so the cowgirl hat had to do.



Now, to save the best for last...

This is what tuna casserole does for hair!
