Our all American weekend.

Last weekend (Sept 6-7) we went and camped around Island Park and had a blast.  Our church hosted it and Friday night we had a chili cook off and a cookie bake off.  Dinner was yummy and we all had a great time.  While we were there there was a cow and calf moose hanging around the campground.  The girls and I got to see them quite well.  They walked right out into a clearing and we just stood and watched.  I was of course aware that the momma could be very dangerous because of her calf, but she seemed very comfortable so we just keep our distance and observed.  Kenya just loved been able to see something like that.  Both of the girls are animal lovers, but then again so are Robert and I.

We slept uncomfortably on the ground in our tent.  The next morning we had a wonderful breakfast and then Robert and the girls got wet in the cold Buffalo Creek at the campground. 

It was beautiful to be in the trees and wilderness!

It was cold!

Then home we went.  For a late lunch we went out to a pizza buffet.  Then Saturday evening we went to a minor league baseball game in Idaho Falls.  I had won 2 tickets on facebook and so we just had to pay $5 for Kenya to get in.  While we were there the girls loved watching the Chukars mascot dance and have fun.  At one point the mascot went and hid and the first person to find him won a prize.  Robert and the girls found him and won a $10 gas card.  So really we made $5 going to the game.   It was fun spending time as a family with truly American activities to end our summer!
