Wow, it really was a vacation whole week! It was AWESOME! We left Monday night and went to Logan to pick up Cassidy. Then we drove all night (and, may I note, that I even drove from 12 to 4 a.m. - and didn't get sleepy!) and then crashed. The kiddos were good in the car.
The sad news is that I lost my camera somewhere in the Herron household up north and it was found the day after we left. BUT thanks to my fancy new tablet, I did get some pictures.
Danell, Monte and Cass, Austin and Braxton were also there so it was FUN FUN FUN all day long. Moo got LOTS of good boy-attention from the male cousins and everyone had fun exploring Grandma's backyard.
There were AWESOME fireworks on the Fourth. We also drove up to Glacier National Park on the Fourth and went on the Going-To-The-Sun road. It was SO GOREGOUS!! We hiked a bit, had lunch and went to the vistor center, where we had a SNOW BALL fight (yes, there were feet and feet of snow up there- hopefully pictures coming from Monte).
Thursday morning we went fishing at a local stocked pond. Ellie caught a fish and Ash ALMOST got one to shore, but then it slipped away. Photos:
After some lovely naps, we went to a lake front property (friends of the family) for swimming, boating, fishing (and being eaten by mosquitos). Here are the random pics, since the tablet is hard to upload from.
And just when the day coulnd't get any better- Grandpa brought out the HUGE flat of treats AND chocolate milk!!
The owner came down and offered to take everyone out on his real boat. The girls were estatic! Josh even almost caught a HUGE fish (that got away as he lifted it into the boat). Sorry honey!
And the neighbor kids found some snakes, which were of GREAT excitement. Ash LOVED it:
We drove home Friday afternoon, stopping for a GREAT gluten free meal at Outback - they have a WHOLE menu of their GF food - it was AWESOME!! Saturday we cleaned, washed, mowed, straightened, etc. and went to Emma's Princess Birthday party for #5. It was pretty great (always Heather you are the party girl!). Today we laid around! Josh starts 3 weeks of working nights, so it was very nice to spent a week together. Tuesday is court, I will report. Have a nice week!
