Trevor and his friend Adam on the dinosaur drop.



Emily loved the ladybug bop! Even I got in on the fun....it really tickles your tummy!


Kylie and me getting ready for a water ride....we put on our coats and hats to keep us as dry as possible!


Kylie was not scared of the Chainsaw Guys this year. They like to sneak up behind you and turn on the chainsaw and scare and chase you. Kylie wanted to have her picture taken with one of them, and I was so amazed that she actually did!

We watched the Monster Classics show and had our picture taken with of few of the monsters. We loved Frightmares at Lagoon this year!

Jeff and Debbie's in Wyoming

Over Labor Day weekend our family traveled to Alta, Wyoming to spend time with Jason's brother and his family. I love it at their house... it is a very relaxing and beautiful area.
Here is Carson, he is the splitting image of his daddy! He loved telling us all about his birthday he had in June. Such a cutie!

Emily helping Debbie make muffins for breakfast. Yummy!


Abby and Emily...these two were a crack-up! They got along so well and had so much fun together. Abby liked dressing Emily up in her clothes and of course Emily loved it too!



Cute Cousins!




Jeff and Deb took us to the drive-in called "The Spud". We haven't been to a drive-in for a long time, so we were excited to go. Everyone had a great time, and it wasn't really that cold until towards the end of the movie. Kylie and Alexa took advantage of our third bench that Jason took out of the truck.

Emily and Abby had more fun playing puppies in the back of Jeff's truck, than watching the movie!


Trevor and Austin were way too comfy and almost fell asleep!

The kids discovered a black hornets nest that was built in an old trough by the horse's correl. I have never seen a nest so big this close up before. It was a relief when Jeff and Jason sprayed it.
Kylie loved the rides that Alexa gave her on the 4 wheeler. I am so glad that these two have so much in common, and get along so well! Cute cousins!





I thought this was a genius idea! This way everyone can get a ride and have fun! Alexa would pull this wagon behind the 4 wheeler and give the little ones rides.



Emily really thought she was a cowgirl during our stay in Wyoming.



Jeff and Debbie took us to a catch and release pond where we could all have a try at fishing. Only Jason and Trevor had ever really been fishing, so for the rest of my family it was a new experience. Boy did we have a blast! Emily, Abby, and Carson had so much fun taking turns casting, reeling, and holding the fishing pole.
Alexa and Kylie had fun hanging out together and fishing. I can't believe how much Kylie really enjoyed fishing! She could have stayed there for an entire day!

It didn't take long for Austin to catch on to fishing, thanks to Jeff for all the pointers he gave him.



Hey can you believe that I caught the first fish! I was very excited, but I was not going to touch the fish to release it! Jason had to do that! FYI...that was my first time ever fishing (real fishing that is)!


You may not believe this...but Jason caught the exact same fish that I did! After we released mine back into the water, Jason got a bite and reeled in the same fish! We know it was the same, because of how I caught it on my hook....the hook had left its mark in the cheek (I think fish have cheeks). Crazy! It was so much fun though!




My kids could not get enough of Jeff's horses! Everyday Kylie was trying to feed the horses grass out of her hands.
Okay...I thought the horses were cool too!


The part of Wyoming where Jeff and Deb live is absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to go back. Thanks Jeff and Deb for showing us such a great time!
