Friends, Fish, Four-wheelers....and Killer Mosquitoes!

The three of us spent a fun Fourth of July weekend with Melissa, Mitch, Heather, and James (and two adorable dogs) at the Campbell family cabin in Island Park. Not only did we enjoy some very delicious food (dutch oven cake is to die for), we also went on a float trip, did some fishing, four-wheeling, and explored West Yellowstone. This was Halle's first real four-wheeling experience and at first she didn't want a thing to do with it. But once Justin got her going at a whopping 10 mph, she didn't want to quit. Every morning she woke up and requested, "Four-wheeler?" On the last ride of the trip, she was enjoying it so much that she turned to him and said, "Daddy, Halle's happy." The float trip was also very cool. We started at the top of Big Spring and floated down the Snake River to Mack's Inn. The scenery was unbeatable. We all finished at different times. Our boat took the longest because Justin lost his rowing partner once Halle fell asleep in my arms and he was left to try to fish and steer the thing by himself. I think though, one of the highlights was watching everyone try out the Buddy Bike in West Yellowstone. It's like a side by side tandem bike that really doesn't look suitable for riding. My big belly makes my balance a little unsteady, so I had to sit this one out, but I thoroughly enjoyed just observing. All in all, it was a great trip! The one and only drawback came from some uninvited visitors: Mutant mosquitoes who are apparently immune to citronella and bug repellent! And they were everywhere! At one point in the trip, we saw a man wearing a mosquito net hat. He looked a little silly, but you can bet we were all pretty envious of him by the end. Still, even the killer mosquitoes couldn't ruin a fun weekend in Island Park. Thanks again Campbells!

Ready, Set, Go!

Not only is that Halle's favorite saying, it's also our current motto as we are preparing for our new addition. We're on the home stretch! Less than 8 weeks before the arrival of our new little girl! We are very excited. Anyway, welcome to our Blog! Thanks for visiting, we will try to give you something interesting to check out every once in awhile, whether it's a picture of Justin's record breaking catch of the day or Halle's latest adventure.
