Let's Rock: February 2012

After months of being away, we finally made a trip back to James' parents home in B-town for President's Day. And we weren't the only one's with that idea...The Starnes' {James' sis and fam} as well as James' little bro Jason came home too! So the family was there! James' buddies Preston and Michael and Jessi {Michael's wife} made the trip as well.
Our weekend festivities kicked off Friday evening with a trip to Merritt's. For those who don't know {as most of you don't} Merritt's is an...interesting place. It is the opposite of fancy, I opposite of clean and might be the opposite of what maybe FDA approved {I'm totally exaggerating} my point is, it's a HOLE.IN.THE.WALL. BUT they serve the most delicious scones known to man.
While waiting for our scones to arrive, a song started playing on the juke-box that was to be non other than the song Nathan Starnes {bro. in-law} performed in ipod idol...quickly realizing this we began to sing...what is this wonderful song? Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond. This song was apparently a crowd favorite because in no time at all...we were ALL singing! To sum it all up, Merritt's was a grand ol' time.

On Saturday we made our way across Boise to have brunch as Nat & Robby's new home. It is seriously an adorable house! They have it decorated so beautifully {now that I'm thinking about it, I don't think I got any pics of the house while there...} but we spent the first half of the day there and even fit in a round of Ipod Idol {a family favorite, where someone puts in headphones and a blindfold and perform the song that is being blasted in their ears, chosen by someone else}. Let me tell you, it was hilarious to watch everyone perform, especially Grandma EE and her dancing, it was...epic. We then went home and prepared for our date night with Michael, Jessi, Preston and his girl for the night, Genevieve and Jason Rock. We went to Wahooz and went go-karting {which we were so excited until about half way through when our faces and fingers were on the verge of FALLING OFF!} we did some mini-golf, lazer tag {with a bunch of 12 year old girls, with the motto of "girls are vicious, boys are un-delicious"} and of course some arcade games. All in all, it was a blast!

Sunday was just spent going to church and spending most of the day with the family. We played a few rounds of apples to apples before going over to James' long time childhood friend Kyle Hansen's for a few hours. We had a good time talking with him and his dad as well as Preston too.

Monday was another hang out day until our drive home back to the Burg.

Picture Time!
