Yellowstone Summer Vacation

we went on a VERY LONG Family vacation the last two weeks of July!
 Mallory making a fishy face with a Fish we found in a small town in Montana
 Church was really fun in Yellowstone, they had a visitors ward that we went to
 Granny and Grandpa with our kiddos
 lots of fun with all the cousins hanging around the cabin
 Then we took about three full days driving ALL around Yellowstone...we saw lots of Geysers
 and mud pits...
 and animals (both REAL and not!)
 we did some really fun hikes and saw some beautiful scenery
 after the first day we decided the ideal time to head out to Yellowstone was EARLY in the morning
 so we Woke up around 5 and headed out!
 we did a hike down a cliff and stood at the top of a waterfall- it was very difficult but completely worth the view!
 then we drove around to the other side of the canyon and saw some more waterfalls!
 it smelled super bad around lots of the hot springs, but we were pretty good about it
 we went and played at the Lake
 and had a rubber ducky race...everyone dropped ducks off the bridge then ran down the river to see who won
 there was a huge Bawled eagle watching us, I'm sure he thought we were all crazy standing in the river waiting for little rubber ducks

End of school and Summer

 At the End of the school year Andrew had a field trip to the beach!
 We had a really fun time finding shells and crabs
 We went last year too so it was fun to re-visit
 Mallory's Field trip was to the Nisqualli wildlife preserve

 
 The Board walk was really nice to walk around on...there were TONS of frogs
 Our favorite place to go bowling is Bass Pro shop...its an underwater adventure and really fun, even for those of us that need bumpers
 Oh yeah- by the way- we SOLD our house and moved!! the Morning we signed the papers we went and got donuts to celebrate!
 we had some family pictures done (more to come later) here are the Grandparents with all 10 grandkids!
 on a walk one day I sat the kids up on a tree and got a perfect picture! Lucky day!
Over the summer we have done a lot of playing at the park, spray parks and playing outside

 We HAD to go see the movie theater to see" Inside out" I LOVED this movie!
 Malachi turned the BIG 3-0 we have a wonderful time celebrating!
 Mallory was in the water 90% of her summer- between swimming lessons, out backyard blow up pool or swimming at hotels.
 Malachi has a company picnic every year! fun times at the beach
