Logan started walking last week. It just clicked for him all the sudden and now he is walking all over. Now he thinks he is one of the big kids and can do anything. He is so cute - check him out.

Riding around
Carter got out his jeep and Logan wanted to join him, so the brothers had their first ride together. Logan was pretty happy with himself when he got to ride with his big brother, but being more cautious than his older brother he was hanging on for dear life.
60th Anniversary Party
Our last stop on our trip was to celebrate my Grandparent's 60th anniversary. We had a great time seeing our family and hanging out at the lake.
Papa blowing up rocket balloons for the kids.
Carter had a great time hangin' with his second cousin Anders.
My Dad with his brothers and sisters and cousins.
My Grandma and Grandpa (bottom right) with his brothers/sisters and their spouses.
My Uncle Ted's boat that he refurbished himself. We spent
many summers growing up boating and swimming off this boat.
Some pictures out at my Aunt and Uncle's house, they have a beautiful place.
I had to put this in here because it is so bizarre - we saw this lama sitting on this horse. I have no idea why, the horse would try and move and the lama would just scout around to get a better position.

Camp Cookout at Yellowstone
We went on a chuckwagon cookout while we were in Yellowstone. We took a horse pulled wagon out to enjoy a great dinner, music and cowboy coffee. The boys really enjoyed it, especially Carter who made all kinds of friends. They both fell asleep on the wagon ride back and slept the rest of the night...making this worth every penny.

Beautiful sky.
Yellowstone - part 2
We have so many pictures from our trip I had to have a part two. Here are some of Yellowstone lake, the Yellowstone Grand Canyon and waterfalls, and other fun times.
View of Yellowstone - there are five mountain ranges that surround the lake, it is beautiful.
Brady and I got a date night out and went on a bus tour. I love these old buses,
they are from the early 1900s and are newly refurbished.
This is a burnt tree that looks like a totem pull with different animals - moose on top and bear on the bottom.
Tub just big enough for two.
The boys checking out the cutthroat trout spawning.
These pictures are different viewpoints of the Yellowstone Grand Canyon and the two falls, it is absolutely beautiful.
Carter got to check out different horns the rangers had. Here he is half Bison, half Antelope.
View from the top of the falls looking down.
We hiked down to the top of the falls to the observation platform, it was amazing but a little scary.
This video is of the lower falls in the canyon, it is 308 feet tall.. It gives you an idea
of how powerful it is and the volume of water moving over the falls.
Yellowstone - part 1
We loved Yellowstone and are already wishing we could go back. We checked out all the geysers and mud pots, loved the beautiful scenery - canyons, lakes and rivers, and probably our favorite thing was spotting all the wildlife. We saw lots of bison, elk, deer, pelicans, several black bears and cubs and a grizzly bear. One of the greatest things about Yellowstone is just how well they preserve and protect it, it is like stepping back in time and getting away from civilization - it has such a great feel to it that it was hard to leave.
It seems almost unreal that you can drive along with forest, grasslands and animals all around and then see these amazing thermal features.
Papa and Carter taking in a view of the lake from the lodge where we had dinner.
Grizzly bear - it was far away (just how I like it) so it is hard to see,
but we saw this bear turning over rocks looking for grub.
Black bear walking through the trees
Mountain goats - it's amazing how they traverse this sheer cliff
Yellowstone's version of a traffic jam
We saw a huge heard of bison in the Hayden valley, it was
fun to see all the calves moving along with the heard.
Carter and Brady built a tepee right across from our campsite.
They ate breakfast in there and all the kids around enjoyed playing in it.
Moonlight on Yellowstone Lake
Old Faithful geyser - I forgot how awesome this geyser is and
I was amazed by the amount of water that erupts from it.
Inside of Old Faithful Lodge
This video is a little shaky but it gives you the idea of how big the Old Faithful geyser really is. Depending on the eruption it can shoot 3,700 to 8,400 gallons of boiling water 106 - 185 feet into the air. I don't know how this one measures up, but it seemed like a big one to us.
