We're Home!!

It's always nice to go on vacations but there is just nothing like coming home. :) I realized while we were gone how much I love our new home, I started missing it almost immediately after we left! Anyway, we are back now and trying to get back into the swing of things. Today is "supposed" to be a school day but we are being lazy and just hanging out, enjoying the gorgeous weather and being back in our own place.

Anyway, the trip was really fun, hot, but fun. Who knew it gets up into the 100's in Montana??! It also stays light till like 10:30pm, very strange! It was really nice to see all of Kevin's family and the kids had a lot of fun playing with all their cousins and their Great-Uncle's horses. Kobe was OBSESSED with the horses, we couldn't keep him out of the stable! He started making a horse "sound" - if you ask him what a horse says, he goes "pbbbbbbb" (blowing his lips and making them vibrate) - it's hilarious. Everytime he'd see the horses he would do it over and over and over... He also does the dog noise "woofwoofwoof" while shaking his head up and down. There were lots of dogs and horses there so you can imagine how often we heard their "sounds" from Kobe... It's still cute the 500th time though. :) The drive back was quite an experience, we had a blow out diaper in the middle of Nowhereville, Wyoming (man that state is a whole lot of NOTHING!) and had to try and clean Kobe and his carseat on the shoulder of the road. That was fun. Then of course Katie had to go the bathroom like every 15 minutes... Ah, traveling with kids...it's always interesting. All in all it was a good trip though and I'm glad we went.

Well, a picture is worth a thousand words right? Then I'll save us some time and a few thousand words describing it all and just post some pics from the trip... :)
