Amusment Rides

Here's a few more pics of the amusement park rides. You can see in the kids faces, they were having a blast.

Yellowstone Bear World

A few weeks ago, Beth and I decided to load up our kids and our trusty babysitter, Jenna, and head to Driggs, Idaho for a wedding. Adding an extra kid in the mix may sound crazy, but we couldn't have done it without Jenna. We borrowed Mom's Envoy and put Campbell and Brayli in the back with our new portable DVD players and Jenna in the middle seat with Broxon. I meant to take pics the whole trip, but never got around to it...

We left bright and early on Saturday morning and drove past Idaho Falls to Yellowstone Bear World. The kids loved seeing all the bears running free, but I think us adults enjoyed it even more! After we drove through the bears, we went into the petting zoo and mini amusement park. Brayli and Campbell were able to go on almost every ride and had a blast doing it.

Riding in the spinning bears... before Campbell got sick :(

We didn't go very fast when Broxon was with us... we waited until he stayed with Beth.

Campbell loved riding the choo... choo. He would love it even more now. Trains have become his biggest fasination. Then he barely new what they were.

A lady was nice enough to take this picture. Too bad Jenna was telling Campbell to look at the camera. Look closely in the background, you can see a bear climbing the tree!

Campbell trying to escape through the picture. I think this is one of my favorites. Of course, he wouldn't stay in the picture with everyone else. He has a mind of his own.

Behind us are new baby cubs.

Our babysitter, Jenna, doing what she does best... taking charge of both kids :)

After all the fun of Bear World, we went to a motel, cleaned up and headed to the wedding reception. On our way around the winding roads from Idaho Falls to Driggs, Campbell got sick. I figured he was choking on the fruit snacks we gave him, or he was just sick from spinning on the rides. He threw up all over his clean clothes. He was fine the rest of the night.

The next day was a different story. Campbell woke up sick and remained that way ALL the way home. We stopped at Wal-Mart and bought new blankies and clothes. Jenna learned to clean throw up of the face of a baby while driving down the freeway at 75 mph. I know she didn't enjoy any second of it, but again, we couldn't have done it without her. Campbell was tired that night, but hasn't gotten car sick again. Hopefully it was all just a bad spinning ride.
