More vacation

Okay, I've been informed that the pictures I posted last time did not seem happy at all so maybe these will set a different tone :D.

A very good picture of Momo, imho

Tracks of some large bird


Geese



The boys of the family





Credit for the close ups of the bison goes to Dad. He got closer than all of us.



Ducks on the lake

We got really close to this cow...she's obviously very used to people




A rare photo of Risa







Momo doing what she does best, making us laugh





Impolite




All kids who can talk




And, on another note, tomorrow we're going to go see Courageous! Which will probably be the best movie of the year. Can't wait.

The rest of it...part 1

Well, vacations are always fun when you have them but writing about them? Not so fun. So I'll let the pictures do the talking and just say that yes, we did have a ton of fun.























So later we'll post the wildlife and the bandages and stage, etc. But right now I'm really tired and would like to go to bed.

Night.

Vacation Stops

We are back from our vacation! Having an RV was definitely great!The whole trip was super.

The little ones would have been pretty fussy, I think, had we been driving in our suburban the entire trip. As it turned out, they were all pretty much constantly happy. Don't get me wrong they weren't perfect, as you'll see in a later post, but for the most part....

SquiRe is becoming a great reader! He read during the long drives from a chapter-book!

We stopped at a neat place called 'The Rock Stop'. It was fun. We also got to check the weather forecast while we were there.
Isn't that funny! Well, Jack took me for a drive in the Flinstone's car, and we decided that we would follow behind the RV in this.

Unfortunately we didn't get very far before we realized we would never keep up.
SquiRe thought it was a neat ride!

Even though it was called the Rock Stop the man who owned it also collected other stuff, like bones!

At another stop we had some of the best ice cream ever! It was all natural and organic so I didn't feel to bad about it. I just wish I would've bought a second scoop!

I'm not sure where the pictures of our other stops are at the moment but will get you another post post-haste.

I hope you are all having a wonderful day!

We Caught Him!

I made a cake for my grandparents anniversary, so we had to buy some white sugar. Even though we only used the sugar for the cake, yesterday we noticed it was lower than it used to be! We had a sugar theif on our hands!

He even left evidence!
So, Jack, what do you have to say for yourself?

"I better wipe my hands off before I answer any questions!"

"Umm..."

"That's a big mess."

"Mom, please, help! I'm innocent!"

"C'mon! Does this face look guilty to you?"

"Okay, I did it! But it sure tastes good!"

Vacation!

After much prayer and searching, God brought us the perfect vehicle for us to use on our family vacation.
We will be taking a trip to Yellowstone, visiting a few relatives, and going to Adventures in Odyssey in less than a week. We still have to do a lot of work on it, so this post will end here.

Be looking forward to posts from our vacation shortly!

Have a blessed week!

John Schmidt and Steven Sharpe Nelson

These two musicians are both extremely talented, but put them together and . . . wow.
