Summer Recap



This summer was great! Kaden and Katelyn were old enough this year to take them places and it was relatively easy. The poor things were in their stroller for most of it (they still can't be trusted to stay with me, they turned 2 in July,) but they still enjoyed seeing lots of things.

I'm VERY lucky to have such a great husband. I admit openly- I was having too much fun doing stuff with the kids to take care of the house like I should have. I justify it by saying to myself "The kids will remember the time we spent together, not that the house was clean/dirty." Does anyone agree or am I just living in denial? lol... don't answer if you don't agree... : ) Oh well, doesn't matter now, the house is clean again!

This is at Grey's River just outside of Jackson. We had a gorgeous site up the canyon and the river was coming down just outside of camp. The kids loved it. One of the main reasons we went was to go to Yellowstone. I've always wanted to go. We got there just in time to see Old Faithful, then saw it again before leaving.
I seriously had to laugh though. Anyone who has been there knows this, but a while before it is estimated to erupt, people starting sitting and standing around trying to get a good view of it. This picture doesn't give it justice, but seriously, there were thousands of people, literally from all over the world, who were stand around waiting for water and steam to blow out of the ground. Yes, I was one of them, but I still think it's funny...!

I'll add a few more pics in a separate post.

Yay! I'm so happy to se some pictures and see what you are up to. You kids are adorabel. i'm so glad you go to do fun things this summer. Your kids will not remember how clean your house was and only how much fun you had, or at least that is what I tell myself as my house slowly gets messier and messier. You are amazing.
