Daxton's 1st fieldtrip

October 2011

For Daxton's preschool fieldtrip me and my friend Ashley (Gavin's mom) took Dax, Gavin, and Avery(our friend Rachelle's daughter) to the dinosaur park. The kids loved running around looking at all the dinosaurs. Tyse came and loved it too.

For part of the fieldtrip the preschool kids got to learn more about dinosaurs in a cute little class and make dinosaur face masks.

The park was all dressed up for Halloween. It was spooooky!

RRRRRAAAAUUUURRRR!!!!!

Tyse loved the park that was there.

Digging for dinosaur bones!

Grandpa's Carnival

October 3, 2011
Grandpa had a carnival for his work at Black Island Farms. All the kids looked really cute in their costumes. There were a lot of fun things for all of us to do. We played on the fun slides, had hot dogs and hot chocolate, and were just about to go on a fun hay ride to pick out our pumpkins until it started down pouring. So we hurried to our car and Dad ran and got our pumpkins for us. After, we went to Grandpa D's house for cake and presents. Happy Birthday Grandpa.

Labor Day Weekend

Colter Bay 2011

Every year over Labor Day weekend we go camping with all of Dan's family up in Colter Bay. This year no one could go, but we decided we wanted to keep the tradition and go up anyway. Dan's parents came up with us and brought one of the kids' cousins too. This was a very eventful and crazy trip. It all started out with Tyson throwing up in the car. Yes it was everywhere and we hadn't even left yet . The kids were all in the car and Dan and I were running through the house doing all the last minute things when Dax ran in the house to tell us what had happened. We both just laughed thinking ya a little spit up, but we were wrong. We decided to go anyway so we hurried and cleaned up and left. Well it all went down hill from there. Kate got it, Daxton got it and Tyse kept on having it. It was crazy and we almost turned around a few times but decided to just keep going. After the first day they all felt better, luckily, and it ended up being a blast. We stopped in Jackson Hole at a park for a picnic to let the kids play and for a break from driving. They loved the fresh air.

One of our favorite places to bike to is the Jackson Lake reservoir. It is so beautiful and the kids love making a splash.
Grandpa and the kids

Dan does too!

There are tons of places to bike around so we always take all our bikes up and ride around everywhere.

We have lots of fun with Grandma

Can't camp without doing some crafts. We all love painting rocks

Tyse pushed his stroller around pretty much the whole time we hung out at the campground. He loves the outdoors.

We love hiking to Leigh Lake

Always fun to get our feet wet when we get to the lake.

Dan packed in his inflatable kayak and we floated around the little island in the middle of the lake. It is so beautiful up there.

We snagged this pic of Dax with his monster truck propped up just like the trailers

Dax took his truck everywhere
We left Colter Bay a day early so that we could spend our last night at the cabin. It was nice not having to drive all the way home in one day. Dan and Dax took the 4-wheelers up the canyon exploring.

When we got home from our trip and pulled into the driveway, Dan and I both got really sick...we barely made it...phewww!
