Summer is Over

At least for us...basically. We went on one last trip to Yellowstone last week with my mom--that's right, just me, my kids and my mom. It was so much fun. I loved being able to spend time with my mom all by myself. We had so much fun talking! Imagine how in heaven I was being able to talk for hours while driving....The kids were awesome. We took stuff for them to do and they did great! We got to see a few new things too. We discovered parts of Yellowstone that we have never seen before! We met lots of people from all over the world, but our favorite was two little gals from Taiwan that we met while walking to our van. They asked if we knew where a little general store was--which we didn't. We tried to help them out, but their english was a little choppy, so it was a little difficult to communicate. Later, as we were driving back to the main road, we spotted them walking with a little sign that said "fishing bridge." I told my mom to pull over and get them. Their destination was 16 miles out of our way, but it was so worth it! The girls thought it was amazing to meet "chinese" people. They spoke mandarin and were teaching the kids how to speak it. We laughed the whole way. The girls favorite part of the trip was swimming at the hotel and our little "Kamping Kabin" at the KOA in West Yellowstone. We thought it was funny that there were all these cool things to see and all they cared about was getting back to swim. Funny kids. We got to see a bear, some elk, some ENORMOUS buffalo, and little chipmunks. It will be a very memorable vacation. THANKS MOM!

Pictures to follow soon....
