Henry's Lake & Yellowstone Trip

We headed up to a family cabin at Henry's Lake last Thursday for a fun weekend with my side of the family. The cabin is a bit old, but full of character. The kids had a blast playing on all the little stairs and rooms.

So much fun, that here they are NOT going to sleep.

Our first day in Yellowstone


Not pictured here, but Jack took advantage of his first opportunity to urinate in the river. Is that why it's called Yellowstone?





Jack wanted to ride in the backpack too, although he didn't seem to like it too much.

We got all ready to trek down to the falls brink, but it started to pour!

We saw lots of buffalo dudes

Jack Turns 4!

Jack has been in love with Spiderman this year, so of course he had to have a spidey birthday. Sadly, I did not make the cake...didn't even plan on it. And it's a good thing I didn't because I was sick today and couldn't have pulled it off if I wanted to. I don't think he even cared...the store bought one looked fabulous.

Oh Spidey Bear...I'm not old enough to kiss you, but thanks for asking.

Just a little taste...no one will notice.

Thanks, Gavin!
The hot ticket...he wore it to bed he loved it so much.

Wow, who's this guy? A special appearance just for Jackey Boy. Strangely, Jack was missing for this number.


Somebody had a GREAT birthday. Thanks, Everybody!
