The 4th of July

This year we decided to go camping for the 4th. Beau was given camping supplies for Fathers Day, so I decided we needed to test them out.Since Yellowstone is only 80 miles away I thought that it would be fun.
We left friday afternoon, the first site we were given was well taken over by some rednecks that stole our table and had very colorful language, we didn't even get out of the car. We went and asked for a new spot, they gave it to us.
We stayed until monday, it was fun, but I am pretty sure yellowstone only has Buffalo because that's all we saw. aparaently everything else goes to bed in the afternoon.
The kids enjoyed camping but the best quote is from emma "mom are we going to drive around alot and then stop and look at nothing?" This was said on our second day at yellowstone. I replied "yep, that's what we're doing today".The boys played with their army men and staged battles then we created a rescue mission to save all the lost soldiers.To see more photos check out facebook.We made the best cobbler ever! It was chocolate cherry and super yummy!1 large can of cherry pie filling,1 chocolate cake mix(I used devils food), slice up 1 cube of butter on top and then 16oz of sprite on top of that. Cook until done, it took about 30min. we topped it with cool whip.
And this is my favorite picture! Overall we had a great weekend and came home exsausted.It was nice to not have any homework, and be able to spend all that time with the kids.
