Longest Post Ever

Well we have been pretty busy since my last post. We went on vacation and had a great time - I mean an awesome time. I hope that all of you enjoy this massive quantity of pictures! The boys in their hats before we went our adventure.

Mom and the boys in front of Mt. Rushmore. I wish we would have remembered the stroller.


Dad and the boys in front of Mt. Rushmore.


Kieran having fun.



Rowan was trying to reach out and grab the goats that we saw on the trail around Mt.Rushmore.





We stayed in Keystone, South Dakota and right across from our awesome hotel were helicopter rides and an alpine slide. We chose the alpine slide. It had a fun chair lift ride up to the top. Only Dad and Kieran went down the slide. They had a good time.




The boys hiding out in a little cubby hole in the hotel room. We had a ton of fun in our room. It had a loft for the boys to sleep in and they loved it.



This is a picture from a 'mystery area' that we went to. It was wierd but still kind of neat. Max thought it was awesome.



We also went to Reptile Gardens and saw many neat reptiles. Snakes, monsters and turtles.




They did a good amount of sleeping in the car- Hooray!






Closer to the end of our great stay with Kris and Brian, Rowan finally liked Gus.

The boys had lots of fun playing the backyard and at the park. There was even a balloon artist at the park. It was great! The boys had fun playing with Maddy and lily.




One morning in the heat we walked to Herman's (the gas station/grocery store) and got the kids some popsiscles. They enjoyed them. Then I let the kids attack Brian with the balloon swords. I think Brian actually enjoyed it.





Kris was so gracious to be a great hostess and to also give the kids haircuts while we were there. Rowan didn't have very much fun.




All of the kids and parents were exhausted every night. Poor Max even had to be carried to bed. The kids all enjoyed Brian's favorite chair and eating a ton of food.



We spent one day at Brush Lake. We had a blast. The time flew by and the kids behaved. It was the best family outing we've had.







Brian had made a forever friend out of Max. They spent a good deal of time building stuff, which is every little boys dream.






On my birthday we went to Moose Jaw, Canada. We had a fun time. We had tour of some underground tunnels that supposedly Al Capone used during the prohibition. We had ice cream and a whole bunch of fun. I even got detained at the border for trying to smuggle in illegal candy. What a day!


These two pictures were taken on the morning we left. It looks like Kris and Brian are still happy and it looks as though the Kellers are still happy too. There is not much more you can ask from a vacation,
