Memorial Day Bike Adventure

Nathan and I decided it would be fun to bike down to Shoshone Falls. He got the bikes prepped and ready, I got the treats, diaper/wet wipes and coats, off we went. Tanner on his own bike, Savannah on the tandem hooked up to Nathan and I pulled Corbin in the bike trailer.

Tanner did so well. (granted majority of it was downhill), but we decided to go to Dierke's Lake instead of all the way down to the Falls. At the Lake we hopped on the dirt trails and off we went.

We found a spot for the kids to explore and climb on the rocks. First off there was tons of animal droppings of some sort. Nathan claimed it was a jaguar or something ferocious (I did find myself checking the cliffs out-perhaps we were being eyed as hearty meals). We did find a little stink bug beetle, of course Tanner wanted to jump on it and squish its' guts to see if it stinks. No sooner had we climbed maybe 3 boulders did it begin to rain. And it came fast. We found a little cave for the kids to hide out in. (the beetle had the same idea, except he did not survive, a bottom or shoe did squish its little guts).

The rain showered down, there was not any room for us in that little cave. Nathan and I smashed ourselves against a rock and tried to think dry. We did not succeed. We were pretty much drenched.

We did however, survive and biked our way out of the canyon and to our home, safe and sound.

This is Tanner shouting for joy at the top of the canyon! YES, he did it!
On the way out we found some Elk. All in all it was a great adventure!

The Ball

Savannah approached me and asked if we could get dressed up and pretend. I took her hand and went to my closet to look for a beautiful princess dress for me. (she found me a crown)Unfortunetly, I do not own any quality princess attire. She found my wedding dress and the decision was made.

We turned on some music and she and I danced.

It really was fun and the twinkle in her eyes seemed magical.

(don't be too suprised, the dress does not actually fit, it is not zipped up in the back-kids have a way of making clothes tend to not fit as well).

Savannah chose her outfit, the white gloves and dress are from her "Fairy Godmother" (she leaves a present hanging on our tree every now and then). Savannah told me one day, "Mom, I think the Fairy Godmother had to leave Cinderella's house to come to mine". I love it!

Corbie

Corbie out of the bathtub and clean for a moment. It was one of 'those' kind of needed baths. I mean it was EVERYWHERE! We had to visit the garage sink before the big tub was even allowed. After he was all clean he gave me those 'you cannot resist me' looks and I was won over again!

Savannah wanted to get in with Corbin. I am sure if she knew why he was having a bath, she would not be interested, but for now, they had a great time.
