Parade Rest Ranch - Last Day

Here are the kiddos in front of our cabin. Sob sob. I hate leaving this place. I think I would like living in Montana. It is so beautiful there. My poor sister knows better than to travel with me. She was sick the whole trip. I had asked her if she wanted to just head home, go to the park, or what. She said she didn't care. Big mistake sis! he he. I set the GPS for least use of freeways. It took FOREVER FOREVER to get home. But I seriously loved the drive and want to do it again. But take more time and stops for the kiddos. It was gorgeous. But I think my poor sister wanted to kill us.
What do you do with a baby who want stop fussing and nothing is working? Give him a container of wipes and let him go at it. :) Notice how he still doesn't look happy though. I think he was just taking is frustration out on me through the wipes.

Parade Rest Ranch - Day 3

We went into Yellowstone park today. It was a very windy day but nice. And surprise surprise, Butterball would not turn around. Check out the next couple pictures of him. :)Here is the kiddos minus my Appleseed. I had forgot a stroller so he was on my back.And here is all of us minus one. I am so sorry I didn't think to get D in here too. So dumb. Sorry D. Next time for sure.We stopped for lunch on the grass.There was this huge hole that was fenced. It was amazing. I don't think I would want to live in this town.After we got home Butterball wanted to watch Toy Story with his new Woody toy. It was so cute. When he first got back from Yellowstone he went right into Woody and asked if had missed him. Woody talks so he pulled the string and Woody said, "Ha ha ha ha ha." It was so funny.Appleseed is always a monster at night, even at home. But when we are out he is not as easy to deal with because he is in the same room as you. He was sucking water out of his cup and spitting it out at 11 PM.

Parade Rest Ranch - Day 2

Here is my boy waiting for his corral ride on the horses.Riding the horse. He loves it. Surprisingly my daughter had no desire to do it this year.Appleseed sitting on the horse. Funny to have pictures of all 3 of my kiddos as babies on these horses. Love it.Here are my sisters, sister's kids, and friend riding off on a trail ride. They seemed to have so much fun on their rides. Our friend was riding a donkey/mule, I don't know which. And it kept laughing at her when she would say things. And her reenactment of it was hilarious. I laughed so hard.My Butterball always holds my hand. I love it as the other two don't.Poor Appleseed all tuckered out from the walk back from the horses. I was able to get him out and put him down. NICE.It didn't matter if you put food on his high chair. He still liked standing up to lean over and eat. I think this was the day he insisted we have a prayer. He had folded his arms and kept saying, "Mom, Mom, Mom." So we had a prayer. Later he was doing it again and so I quickly said a Heavenly Father blah blah Amen. He wasn't going to let that slide and made me say another one. What a good boy.Singing Happy Birthday to my Butterball. It was a cute cake. They had put a bison and bear picture on it. His little friend, T came up while we were singing. They had a good time together there.After dinner my nephew and our friend were playing football and Appleseed had to join in. It was cute. He adores our friend and called her name a ton while we there. Even in the night he would do it. And just so you know D, he still calls your name. Especially if he sees a vehicle that looks like yours. :)

Parade Rest Ranch - Day 1

Our before trip picture. Is this the in case we get lost on the way picture? :) Funny.My sister drove up with me. She was so patient with my kids. It was cute. Especially when poor Appleseed threw up, causing Butterbean to FREAK OUT! These are my, "Thank you for cleaning up the throw up" flowers that my sister had her give to me.Butterball waiting for everyone to come and watch him open his birthday presents. His real birthday was in July but he wanted to wait till we got here to have his birthday. On the way up I remembered I had forgotten his dairy free cake I had made for him at home. So I went to the local grocery store and they only had two yucky options. Found out where they had cakes in town and went and ordered one for the next day. Then I explained to him about the cake. My sweet boy said, "That OK. I don't need a cake." Darn, I had already paid for it.Opening presents.Butterbean cuddling with Dad at the cook out that night.Appleseed eating his corn that he had dropped on the ground. I figure any extra vitamins we get is all good.The manager, Marge, had called my son up and had everyone sing Happy Birthday to him. That was so nice.Butterball got to help drive the horses home that were pulling our wagon. He loved that!We all had colds/allergies. This is how Butterbean fell asleep, with a tissue up her nose. Don't worry I didn't let her sleep like that.
