We had so much fun exploring Yellowstone. We went to the Falls, the Visitor Center and were able to see some areas in the north end of the park that even Dave hadn't seen before. We will have to spend more time up there next time.
After two nights in Yellowstone we went up to Billings to Ed & Kathleen's house where we all got showers (YEAH!) and the kids spent the next few days outside playing with their cousins. They had so much fun! Brandon & Eric actually spent a lot of their time up in the trees. :)
Aunt Kathleen spoiled us all rotten! The first night she got out the chocolate fountain which the kids were SO excited about. And the next night they were all covered in chocolate again, this time ice cream. Aunt Kathleen definitely made her mark and my boys will never forget Aunt Kathleen and her chocolate fountain! :)
We had two firework shows. The first was on Saturday night at Kathleen's home. It was put on and financed by the dads and Grant and Craig ... the kids loved it!!! Nothing like firecrackers to make little kids squeal with delight! Then on Sunday night we went to Laurel and got to see what was the best firework show that we have ever seen. It was AMAZING!!!
And what might have been the highlight of the trip and something that I am sure will become a family tradition for years to come ... the races!!
The kids LOVED racing and raced over and over again. There were kids races, sisters races, and of course the most highly anticipated race ERIN vs. DAVE!
It was a wonderful trip. I love my sisters and was so happy to have this time with them and my dad. Hopefully the next time I see my sisters, my brothers and their families will be there as well.
