Better late than never

Ok- so I'm a little slow getting pics up here after our Memorial Day Cabin trip- (in my defense- I've been trying to get caught up with LAUNDRY!) We had a super time- and it was great that Ben's aunt Trish could come, and his cousins Mike and Brad, and Brad's wife Sara came too. It was a rainy, wet weekend. Sat morning- Ben, Bug and Doodle took the canoe and went down the river fishing- and got *S*n*O*w*E*D on! Poor kiddos were freezing! Later that day we went into Yellowstone.
Buffalo Jam! We stopped for a picnic when the weather cleared for a few minutes- and it started hailing again just as we were finishing up our lunch.

We decided to go for a hike toby the Petrified Tree to Lost Lake (GREAT hike- especially if you have someone who can pick you up at the bottom of the hill at Roosevelt Lodge. (Thanks Pam and Trish!)
Bug, Doodle, Roo and Sara exploring Lost Lake (only it isn't lost anymore- cuz we found it!)Ben and the Boys- I like this picture. ;) Gonna mess around with it in photoshop and see what fun I can have with it.This is "Mom Falls" I have a waterfall named after me. :D

Hiking along

It began to rain right as we were finishing up our hike- (perfect that the rain stopped long enough for us to hike!) And we drove around a bit- saw 6 black bears- (3 different mammas each with a cub) The black dots way down at the bottom of the canyon are 2 black bears.Roo pointing out the Bears.

Sunday morning we headed out for church- and that afternoon we hiked to the Lookout Tower above Big Springs. Brad, Sara, Bug, Doodle and Ben climbed to the top. Yikes- it's a scary climb- (Thanks Mike for staying on the ground with me! lol) What a view though!

We froze too. Again I am shocked at the mass of people at church. GET THERE EARLY! :)
