Yesterday may have been slim pickings for a photo, but today I had such a plethora it was hard to narrow it down! The kids have been begging to go Great Falls for ages, so when we were searching for a family activity this afternoon we loaded into the car and finally went!
Emma was quite the super model today. She was always by my side chattering away about school, friends, life, etc. and whenever I found a cool place to take a picture she was the first to volunteer!
The kids were enraptured with this hollow tree. It was big enough to go inside and stand up. We could have just hung some pictures up on the wall, installed a door, and it would have been a home fit for Winnie the Pooh himself!
Ellie was tired and cold the whole time and did not want to leave her cozy cove of blankets in the stroller. Most of the time she whined when we took her out, but not this time. She got to do a little rock climbing and she was really excited about it. Granted her joy last 5.2 seconds, but I was happy to capture this sweet smile in Daddy's arms!
Who would have guessed? Cami and Mikhaela were so enthralled with this corn snake, that we had to drag them away unwillingly from the poor park ranger who tried her best to keep up with the dozens of questions they kept throwing at her!
Chicken Poblano Chowder.
My job was to help with a 100's day snack mix. Groups of kids came through and counted out 10 pieces of 10 different snacks to create a fun snack mix with exactly 100 items.

Bowling with bumper guards!♥
Super fancy dinner at Fuddruckers.♥♥
Ice cream sundaes on toasted waffles.♥♥♥
Spencer is constantly doing pull-ups on our door frame while training for these kinds of moves on the rock climbing walls. I, for one, am not a huge fan of my children scaling high walls, but it's something that he really enjoys right now so I'm trying not to rain on his parade.
Ellie also enjoys the rock climbing gym. In true princess form, she loves twirling and dancing on the mats...
and even takes advantage of her fancy princess climbing clothes to do a little rock climbing herself.
Cami and her friend Megan totally dancing and waving on top of our picnic table. Their friend who lives two doors down was dancing on her table as well.
