…a surprising victory and crushing defeat! Today is the National Day of the Cowboy. We are often in Dubois for the 4th of July, but have never been for the Day of the Cowboy (except for Trista). This was the year! This morning we got up and had a leisurely morning. I did some organizing…
Not a whole lot of blog fodder today. We did a bunch of stuff around the house. We ran out to go to the Opp Shop, and found some great treasures! Hit the bank (LOL) fun fact, here you can enter the bank with both a mask and a gun! Never in my life… We…
Having arrived back from our vacation from our vacation, we spent most of the day doing real life stuff. #boring #billsstillgottabepaid #illspareyouthedetails First, I made french toast, which I don’t think I have ever actually made and it was delicious! After dinner, Maw Maw told us that she had stumbled upon a park that none…
Today we left Cody to head back to Dubois. We opted to drive through the park, fewer miles, slower speed, more beautiful. I must say this decision did not disappoint! I think I saw some of the most spectacular scenery I’ve ever seen in my life on this drive! On the way out of Cody,…
Is nothing sacred? This morning, I went over to the shower house to take a shower and decided to use the restroom before heading back. I no sooner sit on the pot, than see this head, fully under the stall door and hear, “Mom?” I literally did not know they were there until Annie’s head…
Today we got up and set out to explore the Wild West town of Cody, WY! Last night I ordered combination tickets for the trolley tour and the Buffalo Bill museum. We started off with the Trolley tour to get a feel for the town and see what all we wanted to do. Starting off…
Today was the day to head on to Cody, there was finally room for the Carkeet Caravan! We had not planned to go to Little Bighorn, but we had SEVERAL people tell us it was worth the trip, so we decided to head there this morning before proceeding to Cody. We were able to park…
We packed a lot into this day! Last night when we were headed out of the park to get our dinner, I noticed a big section where there were quite a few tent campers. It wasn’t supposed to rain and there weren’t any real indications that it was going to rain, but sometime in the…
Today was a pack up and travel day! We are still terrible about making this happen in a timely fashion. Levi woke up this morning and I had to ask him three times if the tooth fairy had come! Finally, he was like, “Oh. I’ll check.” Came back with two $1 bills and completely missed…
Sorry, Toothie, but we’ve got a last minute callout to North Dakota! Fly safe!
Today was our last full day in Medora and as fun as this town is, there is only so much to do, especially when it is hot and the town pool opted to stay closed for the season. We had a couple of things left on our to-do list and then we planned to make…
Today we had a lot to fit in! We started off with a drive through Theodore Roosevelt National Park. We went into the Visitor Center to get our Junior Ranger booklets, and due to a shortage, they only gave us one for the family. When we got in the car, the kids immediately started fighting…
