island park

a few weekends ago we went to island park with some friends. and it was lovely. it was my first time there. it was beautiful and a nice break from the 90* heat. we stayed up way too late talking and laughing, watching the kids play, 4 wheeling, eating yummy food, reading, movies, and at one point ALL of us in the house were napping. couldn't do that if we tried!

jd was so nice to wake up super early with sophie and take her for walks so she didn't wake the whole house up. and to let me sleep a little.

recognize the hat? from her newborn pictures...only now, it fits!

the jail birds four wheeling

we took a turn on the four wheelers while jordan and kate watched all the kids. ready for 4 kids under 3?

we tried desperately to get pictures of all the kids together....

(we didn't make them do that, they did it all on their own)

london, mae, sophie

we went to feed the fish or ducks or something, but it was pouring rain. we only lasted a few minutes...none of the babies liked it. it was beautiful though! and poor london lost her sock to a duck who thought it was bread. i tried to get a picture, but it got away too fast.

sophie LOVES mae.

we also went up to yellowstone on what happened to be the free weekend! woohoo!

we stopped and saw some hot pots, had a picnic, saw some buffalo and elk and old faithful.

waiting for old faithful. soph and her favorite toy...straps.

sophie and daddy

we went back to the car to feed sophie and waited for everyone else. this is what we did while we waited. she thought it was hilarious!

thanks for a great weekend, friends!
