Saturday FUN!

OK here goes, we went over to Jackson on Saturday to ride the Tram. It was so much fun, I must admit though that being afraid of heights I was a little nervous OK a lot. Much to my surprise it wasn't bad in fact it was WAY to fun, the kids had a blast too, Jonathan took two of his friends with him so instead of 4 kids we had 6. I'll try and keep pictures in order, there is way too many of them to post so just a few. Its really hard to see but this is the empty tram it is really quite large and lots of people can go in these. Jonathan and his friends on the way up the mountain.

Jared, Rachel and Dad looking out the back of the tram on the way up.

I love this sign, you really did feel that you were on top of the world, I wish my pictures were better so I could post them but pictures really don't do justice to the views we saw.
The 6 kids and I on TOP OF THE WORLD, it was super windy up there and I had to sit so I wouldn't get too dizzy but all in all it was super fun. We walked around and then caught the tram for the ride back down. This is the view on the way down the mountain. This is the tram lines I guess that is what they are called, its hard to see they go all the way to the top!
Just a pretty picture
We stopped at the Visitor's Center, they had displays of different animals etc, one thing the kids really liked was these TV screens that were on the floor, it would change from a stream to calm waters, to snow etc, it was way fun they had a couple of these in different places.

We had a really fun time, we watched some elk and even heard them bugle, we saw a BIG moose too. There was a couple of fires on the hills as well so it was kinda smokey but all in all it was a great day!

(even with 6 kids)

Its very Late!

Its so late that it is Tuesday, we had a super fun Saturday and I need to get the pictures posted, hopefully I can do that tomorrow. Its been crazy here with fall break and inspections once again, goody I can hardly wait, the good thing is I got my stove cleaned after all the canning I did it really needed it. I just hope it stays that way for a while, I always seem to boil something over right after I clean it, why is that? Boy what a boring post, all about cleaning it must be late. I was going to write about how bad I feel about the way the people who bought our home thought about it, I know it was in need of a lot of fixing up, but for heaven sakes, I had just had a baby, my husband worked out of town and would stay up there for the week, what the heck did they expect, besides the fact that it was DIRT CHEEP!! Oh well, that is their problem, I am not going to feel bad, when we bought our home we were trying to have a baby with no luck and going through the adoption progress, we had other things on our mind. I guess we should have painted and put tile floor in the kitchen and then raised the price thirty thousand dollars, then maybe we would still be there and they wouldn't. Oh well on to bigger and better things right! I guess it serves me right though, I was blog hopping and found them by accident. Let that be a lesson to me, maybe I'll go private I have been thinking about it for some time anyway. Will let you know if I do. Melody

Its Official

Its that time of year once again when the nights are cool, and the mornings are crisp, and its warmer outside than in your house, ya its official its FALL! It was the first day of Autumn yesterday how in the world did I miss it? I was just so busy doing all my little projects and house cleaning and soccer etc. that I missed it. Good thing Autumn last for awhile. So HAPPY FALL to all of you! Melody

Thursday

I have a ton of stuff to do today and what am I doing? That's right I am here on the computer and being a MAJOR SLACKER I just don't feel like doing anything today! I really need to get busy I didn't do much yesterday, a neighbor came over and we went for a walk and let the kids play and visited, I think she needed some adult talk, her hubby works late and she has 3 little kids. I am worried, sightly stressed and anxious there have been no kids out after school playing for the last couple of days, it is VERY weird, but then I don't blame people for keep their kids in and "safe". It makes me wonder if they know something else is coming or if they just want to keep their kids safe. There is no school on Friday, it will be interesting to see if the kids are out playing, but then we won't be here for part of Friday and then we have a soccer game too. I wish it would get cold, (not really) it would be easier to keep the kids in, cause I don't want them out either they have been really good about staying in but its hard cause its nice and they want to play outside and ride bikes. Oh I could go on and on but I won't. I must get busy and get my stuff done and maybe get some scrap booking done, I am in need of a scrap booking weekend HINT HINT HINT. Maybe we can fine a weekend that will work SOON! Have a good weekend. Melody
