Tetons and Yellowstone

The kids enjoyed wading in many lakes at Grand Teton National Park. I enjoyed it too even though I ended up with a leech on my foot which I didn't even notice for a few hours.

Huckleberry Hot Springs was a great place to have a soak...




A few Yellowstone pictures....

My Newest Nephew

Isn't he the cutest thing ever??

Rachel was TERRIFIED the whole time and clung to the rail with both hands. It was a little scary especially when the bats started flying around.

Snail Soup and Dancing

My girls and the neighbor girl were collecting snails. They carefully hang them on the tree at night. Some snails even have names. Erin Joy decided her snail needed a bath. Then it became snail soup.

The following video are a few recent "great shows" that my children love to practice in their room and then perform for the camera. I certainly don't mind taping them. The first performance includes the neighbor girls.
