The morning started off with a BIRTHDAY party! Each kid got to blow out his own candle and they opened up a small group present... puzzles. The kids raced to try to put them together the fastest. (Orin's team did not win- which might have been due to the fact that Ory threw some of the pieces in the rocks!)
The day was spent in West Yellowstone. Walking around the streets of the little Montana town is just so fun and of course we stop for Dairy Queen cones to, so that's a plus!
They had these painted Buffalo, which I LOVED! They reminded of my hometown Cincinnati where we had the Big Pig Gig and there were decorated pigs all over the city.
While in West Yellowstone, we went to a little museum and mini zoo. We even witnessed a bear fight (not to the death, but still it was intense & quite interesting to see!)
Right outside the museum we had a picnic and the kids had fun shooting their dollar store bow & arrows!
That night we celebrated... Halloween! Everyone (well mostly everyone... I didn't even think about a costume for me) dressed up and after dinner the kids got to go "trick or treating"! I think this may have been the kids FAvOritE holiday!
lovin the nose on lil Ifo... priceless
That night each family put on a skit. The Patterson fam did a skit where each kid would come up and cry... and the last one told the others they were crying because they didn't have a skit- courtesy of Grandpa (Ory played in the rocks in the back!)
