Trip to Estes Park (Part 1)

For my parent's 60th birthdays, my sister and I, along with our families, surprised my parents with a trip to Estes Park. We stayed at the YMCA camp there and had a blast! It was really reasonably priced and there is always family activities going on! It was also very beautiful! We plan on going again!

Before the trip the boys and I started making some fall/thanksgiving treats and prepared some meals.

Turkey munch!

The boys loved getting to whack the oreos for oreo truffles!

My best helper :)

Getting all packed and on the road...My parents rode with us so Dylin and I took the back.

My view

Wasn't too sure how Dylin would do on a 3 hour car ride but he did awesome and slept the entire time!

Getting up to the YMCA camp!

The check in lodge

Our cabin...it was a 4 bedroom cabin with lots of room for playing!

Going swimming at their indoor pool. This was also Dylin's first time swimming!!

VIDEO: Grandma and Dylin (There were no cameras allowed in the pool area but since we were the only ones there and it was Dylin's first time, I decided to break the rules....if you listen closely Kaydence is letting me know that lol)

Logan loving the water!

Dylin wasn't too sure about the water...but he loved it once he got in!

Hard to tell...but the boys are jumping to Kyle in these next few photos

Dylin in his swim diaper :)

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!

Daddy's Little Helper and Ice Festival

Friday Jamin and I went to visit Kyle and work and took a few pictures! Jamin loved seeing the big trucks and playing in his daddy's office. Daddy's little Helper Writing down important jobs to go look at We think he's gonna be a lefty! Taking over the business This weekend we also went to Cripple Creek for the Ice Festival! 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 ...
