Family Vacation in Keystone

This past weekend we went to Keystone with my family. We have been trying to do one vacation each year together. Last year we went to Glenwood Springs and this year we decided to head west again and spend some time together. Since Kyle has been working a lot of hours lately, we decided to head out on Thursday night and get up there early. The rest of my family came late Friday afternoon. Kyle, Jamin and I got a chance to spend a little time together before everyone came up.



This buffalo was so hot from the sun lol I burn myself every time I get a picture on it

We took a walk into town to see what was going on. A lot of people were there for the downhill mountain biking and there was also a lot of kids things going on. We were able to find a few things that Jamin could do. A lot of the activities we did were free so it made this vacation even better!!!
Playing in the sand box at near the entrance to the Gondola







Jamin had one sandy butt after playing in all the sand.


Deciding to crawl around and get dirty all over.


Playing with the big dump truck

Getting ready to go on the paddle boats

The adults didn't have to wear life jackets but my dad wanted to still lol

Yay for paddle boats!

The crazy Brown family lol Addy and Kaydence are about to fall out lol


The other paddle boat. We were at maximum weight so if we leaned to one side the boat would start taking on water lol



We ended the trip with a great time on the paddle boats. There were tons of fish in the water that would come right up to you when you threw them food. The ducks and geese were also very comfortable around people. It was so awesome to get close to the little families of ducks. Malachi was going crazy on the boats the entire time because he wanted to get in the water and catch some birds for dinner lol. He finally got his way an ended up jumping in. He's lucky that he is a good swimmer lol.

Sun is out...Time to have fun!

I set up a part of our big slip and slide for the boys to have fun with! Mommy, may have went down it a time or two also lol. You can definitely tell a difference in our house when there is warm weather outside! Lots more silliness and fun!  Silliness during lunch...Dylin put this bucket on his head and thought it was the funniest thing ever.  Some pictures of my handsome man....I love you so much Jamin!

We enjoyed seeing the ice scultures and going down the ics slide!  My attempt to make peanutbutter-banana-honey sandwiches on the way home...Kyle didn't think I did very well because half of his banana was on the floor of the car :)

Road Trip Part 5

Monday morning rolled around and we decided to make our way from Bozeman down to the West Yellowstone Entrance. The drive was amazingly gorgeous!  Just driving in Harvey!  We made it to West Yellowstone but were turned away from two different RV parks because of the amount of kids we had with us. This was the first time I have ever felt looked down upon and discriminated against. I literally had one man ripped a piece of paper out of my hands because he didn't even want to consider letting that many people stay in his park. I explained to him that they are all young and well behaved kids but apparently he has had way too many bad experiences with kids. We didn't let it get us down though. We finally found one that didn't have any concerns letting 4 adults come in with 5 kiddos. The place was actually brand new and the closest RV park to the west Yellowstone entrance so we really lucked out!!! After we got checked in we decided to go into the park ...
