Fall is in the air!

Monday night I decided to have all the kids over for a picnic outside. Christopher, Courtney and Max had come back to Idaho and we all needed to see all the new babies. Well, we picnicked, but it was dang cold. The coldest day of the summer. Some of the girls put on jackets or had blankets around them. I couldn't believe it. There was even a frost warning for that night. Luckily it didn't freeze. I'm so glad because I had just started getting a few things off of my garden. I had only did 1 picking of beans and had 1 cucmber, and 3 tomatoes. Now, it is nicer, but you can tell that Fall is in the air. I hope we have a nice long beautiful Fall and not so much winter this year. All the kids are back in school and loving it. I have already been to Bridger's football game and am going to Conner's tonight so that is a definate sign of Fall. Some of the leaves are actually starting to turn yellow and the farmer's are all harvesting grain. The gardens are on in full force now and the canning season has begun. So, enjoy the Fall and don't work too hard. Take some time to play!

Fun Weekend in the Mountains, in a Cabin, no tents. Yeah!

Last Sunday afternoon, the 25th, we, headed up to Island Park to spend a few days in the woods, in a nice cabin. It was awesome!!!!! Tif's family, Heather and Lizzie, Trev's family, Lindsay's family and John and I all went.
It was so relaxing and so much fun. We just hung out, played games, played the wii, ate and enjoyed being together. On Monday afternoon we went into West Yellowstone and played in the park, ate lunch and then went to the Playmill. It was really good. It was Beauty and the Beast and probably one of the best ones they have done. The costumes and acting were phenominal. We then went back to the cabin and played some more. Trever, Brett, Tiffany and I stayed up until 1:30 playing pinocle. We were so tired but it was great, especially when Brett finally "shot the moon" so we could go to bed. We got up on Tuesday and cleaned up the cabin and headed home. I am ready to go again anytime. It was so nice to just kick back and enjoy.
