Idaho August 2015: Part 2 of 3

Our third day in Idaho was a big adventure day.... we got up, had breakfast, and headed to Bear World!!! I think I was more excited than the boys (who were both very excited!!!).

Ellie in her precious monogrammed onsie from the Avery's!

Ellie fought her nap in the car pretty hard- but finally fell asleep!! Thank goodness!

The first part of Bear World is driving for about 45 mins through the park where so many animals are just walking all around ... it was awesome!! We saw so many goats, elk, bears, and wolves!




The two wolves came across the field, right in front of our car, and then the second one came and smelled LJ's car door before continuing on their path!! It was so cool!!

These pictures are not zoomed at all! They were so close! 

Then we got to get out and visit the petting zoo and rides at Bear World... my excited boys posing for me (Ellie was still sleeping in the car with Grandad!).
Cubs...
Feeding the fish and ducks...



The crazy baby Elk!!
Who's taller!!??




My favorite wild-feathered chicken! They were so funny looking!

A pig!! He felt so weird- rough- and had dried mud all over him! Ugh!


This elk was crazy and super aggressive! He got a good bite out of all our shirts!



Look who woke up! 
Got to feel all the animal skins...





Then we got to go on some rides!! Evan was pretty nervous on the first one! 
Then he had a blast on all the others! The train...






Driving home, Ellie and Queenie had a serious game of peek-a-boo going! Ellie did NOT like when Queenie stopped playing and would yell at her! Hah! 

"Where's Ellie!?"
"There she is!!" 
Yelling for attention! Haha! 
Don't stop playing with me Queenie!!

A little afternoon relaxing in these great chairs!!!
Everyone in bed so Barrett and I decided to enjoy a glass of wine, the cool weather, and each other!! Love him so!!

Trampoline Park

Went back to Trampoline Park on Sunday... LJ has gotten so much better and more confident - guess all the practice time on his little trampoline is paying off! Still so much fun for Dad...  And the Mamas finally get in on all the fun!  Last time we went I was VERY pregnant and couldn't jump... but not this time! I see a frequent Sunday family outing in our future! A little sliding time... And video gaming! Too much fun!!

Ellie - Our Earliest Crawler!

Our little 'surprise' baby got us again and started crawling 2 months earlier than the boys did! She was close for about a week, and then at just about 8.5 months, she took her first crawls! She is getting the hang of it quickly... time to secure the legos that seem to always be all over the floor! First she started rocking on her knees, and doing little army crawls/ knees/ army crawl to get places. Then about a week later, we saw her first crawls. Within a week after those first crawls, she was all over the place!!! She will come find me in the kitchen if I leave her sitting in the living room and will venture all over the house! She's not fast, but she's pretty good! And so proud of herself! Here are some videos of her progress... Ellie's first little mini-crawls: h ttp://www.youtube.com/watch? v=xm3GTgjZXbU And she has mastered the roll-to-sit move! Yay! http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=0cmXfOE3GrA Five days of crawling... she is so obsessed with the t...

Mother's Day Celebrations

Image
What a special and spoiled week I had!!! On Tuesday I picked these two precious things up from Champions:  Then the first celebration (well not including the Chick-fil-a mom-son date knight) was on Wednesday. LJ's class at WHPP had a Mother's Day Tea- and how lucky we were that Gigi came to town late on Tuesday night and was able to join me!!  Since Gigi was there (the only Grandmother in the room!), we got a table all to ourselves... and also LJ had twice the amount of work! He served both Gigi and me our tea/ lemonade, cookies, and fruit snacks!  He made me a very fun necklace and made me a new coffee mug all wrapped up...      I started crying when I read it: "This is the hand you used to hold when I was only 4 years old" with a hand print ned to it!!! How special!!  And a flower for Gigi!!!   This was outside LJ's classroom...  I am chopped liver with these two! Haha!!  We picked up Evan a...
