Rain, Rain, Go Away!!!

We are being rained out here. It has rained everyday for the past week. It looks like we are supposed to have rain everyday until next Friday. Mom does not like this too much. It is nice for her lawn but not for the inside of her house. It looks like a toy store may have blown up in here. The rain also makes it so we can't play out in our nice yard. We are going to have to start finding some activities to do before we get stir crazy in the house.

In other news we are starting to get ready to paint next week. We found a couple sample colors and now just need to try them on the wall so we can decide what we like. Finding a place to move everything is going to be tricky especially with all this rain.

We are all fine otherwise. We would just like a little sunshine please!

Chicken Pox, Yellowstone, & Rain, Oh My!!

The past couple weeks have been quite eventful for us. First Shawn got the Chicken Pox. We were a bit worried that we may not be able to make our Yellowstone trip. Luckily they cleared up in time and we were good to go.

Yellowstone was a nice trip. It rained during a lot of it but we still had fun. We saw several Elk, lots and lots of buffalo and bald eagle in the park. We also saw many water falls and geysers. We were hoping to see a bear and a moose but no such luck in the park. We did see a moose on the way to star valley though. Too bad it was raining so much that we could not take it's picture. The highlights of Yellowstone were seeing the mud pots as well as old faithful. We really enjoyed it. Shawn was just happy to be out of the car and running around. Alex slept thru most of the trip but we didn't expect much out of him. We really enjoyed our time with grandpa, it was a great time for all. We hope to go back and visit in a few years when the boys can hike the trains and we can go camping.

We have lots of pictures that we will have to post a bit later.
