Wordless (Wyoming) Wednesday

In the Hole

So, way back when... it seems like eons ago, but it was really only just two weeks ago, we were still on "vacation" and were in Wyoming. We stayed at a resort in Jackson and took advantage of some of the outdoor activities.

We all hoped on the ski lifts and rode up to the top for a slide on down the Alpine Slide. Sorry there are no photos of Blossom and I... we had the camera!!

Then the treekids tried their hand at jumping on a trampoline while attached to bungee cords. Sounds strange... but looked like a ton of fun. If I weren't growing this little acorn in my belly, I would have hopped into the harness and took a turn myself! Totally fun jumping without your mom and dad telling you, "NO jumping on the beds!!!"

Can you tell in their smiles just how much they loved it? The giggles and squeals and full on bursts of laughter as they were bouncing through the air just made everyone around smile, too.

Just for "fun," here's a little perspective on the actual jumping contraption!! These kids were FLYING! I didn't have any pictures of them with the whole tramp/bungee thing in the shot when they were at the top of their jump. This was the highest where you can see just how far from the trampoline they are!

Happy Birthday, America!

We enjoyed a busy Fourth of July this past weekend. A neighboring town has a great parade in the morning and a fireworks display in the evening. So, we attended both activities and scattered some "getting ourselves back to normal" activities between the two! Enjoy some pictures of our day!

Yea... we were ALL drooling over this car!! Pretty spiffy with its white walled tires and sparkly paint job! Definitely our favorite ... float? Do you call the classic cars in the parade a "float"? Hmmm... whatever it was, it was COOL!

A few bang-pops at home... and stomping on them is just so much fun! (Yes, this is a new dress for Blossom... it is her 3rd dress of the day. She also ran around in a swimsuit for a few hours, too. And I wonder how I have so many piles of laundry!!)

Pops bought a few sparkly firecrackers to impress the treekids with at home before seeing the big display in town! They loved it and wanted to "Do it again! Do it again!!"

Just before heading off for the big fireworks, they all brought out their last sparklers and sparkled away for the camera.

It was a fun and busy day... Here's to a blessed year for the United States of America!!

Homeward Bound

We have had fun. We have traveled far. We are momentarily at a stop to rest and refuel. We are tired. No, that is an understatement. We are EXHAUSTED! A good way to explain that... Blossom woke this morning at 10:10 central time. This is our "early riser" who tends to be up by 7 am every day. Seems as though the staying up late and playing hard has gotten to her!

We hope to be home at a "decent" hour tomorrow. But, our slow start today is not indicating that our 20+ hour drive home will be FAST!

I'll be back to all this blogging when we get home. I promise... more fun pictures soon!!
