Lewis & Clark National Forest, Montana

Getting from one National Park to the other required a bit of driving, but Papa always makes the most of that.

We find fun back roads, to test out the strength of the car. (Go Expo Go!),

and other cool places to explore.

Between Yellowstone and Glacier Nation Parks, we found the Montana State Park in the Lewis & Clark National Forest.

It was a beautiful green, forested rolling hills,

with cool rock formaions,

an adventerous hike,

to a cool waterfall.

Papa found a precarious perch, and stayed nice and relaxed.

AK threw some rocks into the water.

While I got a nap!

It's always fun to find new waterfalls.

AK, what are you plotting?

Animals of Yellowstone

One of the can't miss (literally- you can't miss them, they're on the sideof the road) attractions of Yellowstone are the animals.

We saw Elk,

And of course Bison (Buffalo).

It really is amazing to see these animals so up close (not to close crazy people), but also out in the wild.

There were a lot more little creatures, but we just didn't have the camera ready!

Halloween 2012

We still have more summer adventures to post about, but before Mom gets too behind, let's break in with and up to date post about Halloween!

Just a few quick picks:

With curious George and Elmo you can't go wrong (even with a dirty old man laker fan).

JB may have got the ahhhh award around the block, but Papa definitely got the scary award.

We even got to visit with some cute friends.

Carve a pumpkin,

Roast some pumpkin seeds,

JB really thought there had to be something good in their to put in his mouth.

I wanted a dragon pumpkin this year, (Mama got a bit carried away, but it still turned out scary!)

Even had yummy stuffed pumpkins for dinner.

Hope you had a good Halloween too!

P.S. AK's favorite quote of the week:

"I got a chocolate bar," Pigpen reported.

"I got a quarter," Schreoder added.

"I got a rock," Charlie Brown said.

(All followed by copious amounts of AK laughter)!
