Picture post. . . no cards. . .

Pictures from July 4th:

Look how long Claire's hair is getting!!


















Ben almost got thrown off of this ride-- he figured out how to get out from the buckle, and they had to stop the ride to make him sit down again. Rascal.
Claire did not want to get off of ANY of the rides on at Riverton Town Days!

Fearless Ben-- When I was his age, I never would have crossed these stairs for fear of falling.



We found a slide that was just right for Claire! Bonus-- Mommy can go down too!






Ben's first playhouse out of a box. Both of the kids loved it!





We love to make Ben's hair crazy in the bath tub!






Here's another Hair event. . .



And Another. . .

Our Family Trip to Yellowstone-- we stayed in Island Park, Idaho.

Claire's first foray into the swimming pool-- I was nervous she wouldn't like it, but discovered she's a water baby just like Ben!



Yellowstone Park had some amazing waterfalls!










Much time was spent waiting for Bison to get off of the road, or make up their minds if they would get off the road or not.


Boy, were we glad we brought Ben's tractor and shovel!









Okay-- the cone on the left used to be one of those 3-4 feet tall ones you see on the road. This is the parking lot at the Mud Volcano-- apparently the hot, sulfurous, nasty water is not staying where they want it to!


Boy, those hot pots make some colorful places to see! Ben wasn't a big fan though-- they're too stinky, apparently.







Ben and Claire sitting together by the fire pit, with no fire. It was pretty wet that day.

At Home with Ben and Claire:


Ben is getting to be a pretty good eater. The thing he likes more than eating his own food is. . . .





Feeding Claire his own food!




Claire trying to use her new bouncy ball that Yiayia and Papou gave her for Greek Easter as a seat-- looks kind of like an exercise ball!




One of Ben's favorite pastimes-- make a bed in a laundry basket! Just like his Mommy, Ben likes little spaces that he fits into.


Ben, my little gardener! He loves to be out and about, no matter what the temperature. . .

  2. I'm glad that Yellowstone was a hit! It is so beautiful up there? When did you go? We were up in that area near the end of July. It must be a fun place to go!
