Trip to Williston

While in Williston we did lots of fun things. We were there for a week and packed alot of stuff into the week!

The kids and I got to spend alot of time with Great Grandma Mildred.

The boys enjoyed playing with the buttons in great grandma's chair.

We went camping at Blacktail. The kids had lots of fun swimming, playing in the sand and playing in the camper.

We got suckers!

The boys picked strawberries with Grandpa Sala

We went to the park several times! There is a new park close to grandma and grandpa's house.

The boys got to go shooting with Grandpa and Dad

They enjoyed playing in the sprinkler

Whitney liked drinking the water

We spent a day with my friend Rhiannon and her baby Kyn. Whitney absolutely adored Kyn and couldn't get enough of him. Poor Kyn!

She loves to give kisses. Kyn got plenty of loving on that day!! I was trying to get Whitney to give him kisses on the forehead, but nope they had to be smack on the lips.

We spent an afternoon with my friend Linzy and her girls. They kids had fun playing dress up. Gavin was very excited to get this picture of Elliot. I am not sure what I was thinking, but I didn't get any pictures of Linzy and her girls. :-(

We also spent a night with Grandpa Todd. The kids always have fun with Grandpa Todd on his big machines!

As you can see we were very busy, but had lots of fun!

We miss you Grandma Peg!

My mom was in the cities for the summer. We were able to spend quite a bit of time with her this summer. She came and spent 2 days with us before she left to go back to MT. We had lots of fun shopping, playing, and swimming.

Grandma Peg bought Elliot a backpack for preschool. He starts on September 9th. He is one excited boy!

Little Miss Whitney could not be left out, so Grandma Peg also bought her a new backpack.

and we couldn't end the visit without reading books!

Vacation to the Black Hills

In the middle of July Grant, the kids, and I took a trip to the Black Hills. We had a wonderful time! Our camera broke half way through our vacation so we didn't get pictures of everything. We still came home with lots of good pictures though!

Our first stop was Storybook Island in Rapid City. The kids had lots of fun running around and playing at the park.

They had an old train engine for kids to climb on. The boys loved it!

The boys also got to ride on the Penny Express

After Storybook Island we headed to Reptile Gardens. Elliot LOVED the Cockroach house and insisted on taking a picture by it. It i kind of hard to see because he is covering half of it up!

Of course the tortoises were a big hit, except when one of them touched Whitney's shoe. That ended the tortoise excitement for Whitney!

Gavin's favorite place was Cosmo's Mystery Area. He was totally enthralled during the entire tour! It however was my least favorite activity we did. It made me very nauseous.

Elliot driving us through bear country. This was Elliot's favorite attraction. We saw plenty of bears.

We stayed at a KOA campgrounds in a cabin. The campground was full of fun, free activities so we spent alot of time there. The kids had fun playing at the sprinkler park, swimming, and bouncing on the bounce pillow.
