ISLAND PARK JULY 2008

Here is the 1st of many trips to Island Park this summer. As usual we were there during the 4th of July & we also celebrated the cabin's 60th anniversary. We were joined by Culligula's parents & most of his siblings.

Our Favorite Memories:

• hiking on Coffeepot Trail
• catching minnows
• Culligula fishing with Dakota & then Kes & catching a billion fish!
• the boys getting to play with their cousins every minute of the day
• spending the day in Yellowstone Pk & almost hitting a buffalo on the way home
• getting to wear our flag shirts
• watching the fireworks at West Yellowstone
• the cousin scavenger hunt
• going to the Meadow Vu rodeo & dutch oven dinner
• killing Dakota at speed
• Ja-Ja & Combi learning to shoot a bow & arrow
• the boys getting new Yellowstone shirts
• staying up every night until 3 or 4am
• getting to know Stef better

The Tooth Fairy Visits

After patiently waiting for so long, Ja-Ja finally loses his first tooth. He'd been waiting since last summer. Unfortunately, he's not falling for the tooth fairy bit but he sure didn't have any problem giving up his tooth for a little cash.

I Finally Have a Girl!

A couple of weeks ago Zhateal gave me some of her extra girl toys for my preschool. I finally got around to opening the bags today to see what she gave me. You can only imagine the delight in the eyes of my boys when they saw all the pink & sparkly items. Jaycon immediately requested the dress & wig, while Combi sported white heels. Ja-Ja examined the naked Barbies & Culligula & I laughed & laughed.

By the way, Jaycon said his new name is now Barbie. Yikes! What have we done?!
