Last Weekend...

Last weekend, we decided to take the kids on one more camping trip. Within 5 minutes of arriving at our destination, Carson was stung by a bee, we had popped the only raft we brought for floating the river, and we realized we had forgotten a few vitally important things for our trip. (Cups...Underwear-not every one's, just one unlucky person...some needed tools...ect..) We got creative, and all crisis were resolved. Luckily Aaron's parents and brother were coming to join us the next day, and they brought us a few necessities.

This picture was taken by Morgan, she thought Carson was so cute. She wanted to get a picture of the little boy helping his Daddy. He LOVES to help hook it, unhook it, and help his Dad with all the other little things to get the trailer set up.
Our first night's campfire. The weather was so beautiful, we could not have asked for a better night. It was really nice to get away and relax for a weekend.
After Carson and Aaron patched up our raft, they took turns floating the river with the Dad. The mom watched and took pictures. I wasn't sure I could get out of the boat, if I were to actually get in.
Morgan with Uncle Shane, and her cousin Jacee. It was so fun for my girls to have a cousin to play with while we were there.

We took the kids to West Yellowstone to see the grizzly bear and wolf center. It was a little strange to be this close to the bears, they are huge! It was fun to get such an up close look at them.

Sorry about my son. It looks like he is kissing the wolf's behind.

Before we went home on Sunday, we drove to Big Springs to feed the fish. This fish were pretty full of course, but we were able to feed a couple of muskrats, and quite a few ducks. We bought some of that fish food that they sell there in the candy machines, and wow, that was a mistake. It made our hands smell SO NASTY. I washed my hands three times and I could still smell that yucky dead fish smell on my hands. I will stick with bread or cheetos from now on. Then maybe we could eat our next meal with out gagging.


This photo is for my sister, who lives far away, and is begging for a photo of how my stomach is growing. (Really not my favorite photo!!)

We had such a great weekend. We did come home and after some serious searching, we realized my little boy had buried two library movies in the dirt and we had left them at the campground. To make a long story short, the lovely campground host went to our site with a rake, and found two movies and a walkie talkie. I did feel quite stupid asking them to look for some buried treasures, at our campsite 3 days later, but they were very nice about it.

I'm afraid I am going to have to take another picture for your sister, because you really can't see your belly in that one. We are glad you had such a nice camping trip. We wish we could have joined you. We sure missed all the grandkids while we we gone. I mean all of them!!

Love,

You are never going to have a dull moment with that sweet little boy in your home. He makes me smile! We also went on one last camping trip. It was only up to Hiese, but it was nice and relaxing. That bear park looks like a lot of fun!
