Vance Reunion & Lagoon!

Wow what a past few weekends we have had!! The last weekend in July we went to Choteau, Montana for my mom's family reunion!! WE had a great time. My favorite part was the drive. The beauty of Montana is majestic, in my eyes!! It was Carter's FIRST time camping. Even though he was teething, I think he did AMAZING!! We took Lily with us and she did awesome as well!! There was shooting, duck races (with a BUNCH of CHEATING!!), and AMAZING FOOD!! OH how I LOVE the Vance Family! They ALL know how to COOK!! We had slow cooked pig for dinner one night, then had the BEST homemade bagels I've ever had the next morning!! YUM!!

This is how Londyn helps Mommy pack!!
We're on our way!!
How does the dog get the front seat?
Bradey was in heaven for hours!!
Grandma thought this was the best place for a duck!!
Thank you to Miss Gretal for sharing her little car with LondynAnd letting her hog it all weekend!! ;)

The week after we got home, Londyn and I headed to Lagoon with my family for Dennis' work party. It was SO much fun. I haven't been on a roller coaster since I was in high school, so thoroughly enjoyed this trip. Londyn did awesome the first ride, but then we took her on the Lady Bug ride, which is the kiddy version of the Rocket. She was NOT impressed. She kept saying, "Mommy my tummy, owie!" So she didn't go on any rides for awhile. The funny thing is, we took her on RattleSnake Rapids after lunch, after that she went on EVERY ride!! Oh goodness, such a Water Bug!!

We are ready for RIDES!!

First Ride of the Day!
The Lady Bug RideJessa LOVED all the slow rides!!
Flying the Airplane
Hot Mama's in the Car!!
The girls weren't to sure about this flying elephant thing!
So the bumper cars was the last ride, and the funniest!! Londyn had NO IDEA what to do. The guy running the ride kept trying to tell her what to do, and she just sat there stuck!!

The next morning we were able to go to The Spoken Word in the Conference Center. Mom, Abbi, and I took the kids to the theater room. The boys kept saying that it is SO much better in person. So maybe some day I'll get to go with out kids!! ;) But we had a lot of fun afterward with all the fountains and we even got to go up on the roof! Londyn kept pointing out the temple!

Waiting patiently for the program to start

Playing in the Water
"Look Mom temple!"
Going into the Conference Center, to go to the roof
"Look, Mom, temple!" Again

After all was said and done, we had a wonderful time, but I was glad to get home to my boys. Bradey and Carter stayed home due to Carter's teething, and Bradey's not a fan of rides or big crowds of people! So they just had a hang around the house and relax weekend!
