Soap Stone & The Zoo

Okay so this last week has been super busy.
On Saturday we went up to Soap Stone for my moms birthday and had loads of fun. Every year my mom asks us kids if we can take her for a ride to see the leaves, so Chris and Deanna planned a camping trip. Colby the kids and I only went up for Saturday though. We took the longest 4-wheeler ride ever, I think it was like a four hour ride, it was really fun. The leaves were so bright and beautiful. Camrie took a good long nap, and Jamie got a little snooze in herself. We saw a couple moose. Jamie and Camrie had to wear helmets, and they were so big on them. Camrie looked like a little bobble head doll, and she couldn't keep her balance when she walked. I made her walk to Colby so that I could film her walking funny, I know I'm a mean mom, but it was so stinking cute. After the 4-wheeler ride we came back and sat around the campfire.

Colby, Chad(Chris's brother), Haylee, Kallee, and Jamie all played hide and seek in the woods. It was so funny to see them all running around. Jamie was so cute, she kept hiding in the same place in the middle of this big pine tree and giggling like, I have the best spot to hide.

Colby Chris and Chad started a game of coal toss and that went on for awhile, it was pretty funny to watch, I was suprised when Kallee and Haylee joined in. Just so you know if you blow on the coal it makes it hotter, it doesn't cool it off.

The Zoo

Monday we went to The Zoo and it was so fun. What a great day for the zoo, the weather was perfect.

Nancy came with us, and Lisa, Jaelynn, and Lexi are the ones that invited us, so thanks a bunch Lisa we had a great time. The girls were so cute running from animal to animal saying, "look at this one, oh wow, look at this one". We got to see the infamous white alligator, but I was a little disappointed that they didn't have a polar bear anymore, and the tigers didn't want to show themselves. If you ask Jamie what she did at the zoo she'd say that she got to ride on a zebra. That was on the carousel, not a real zebra.
We went for a train ride, and Camrie did NOT want to get off, she threw a fit, so you know she had a good time. After we were all done looking at animals we went to the playground. It was so nice to just be able to sit and watch the girls play. Camrie is getting to be a little daredevil, she was climbing the rope wall, and she wandered over to the stairs to the BIG slide and took herself down. It was pretty funny. She didn't want to leave the park either. I was going to chase her up the stairs of the BIG slide, but decided to let her go one more time, and I was laughing so hard because she came down on her belly with the biggest smile. I had to bribe her with a toy to get her to leave. Grandma bought Jamie a giraffe, and Camrie a frog. Thanks Grandma.
