~Summer Vacation~

~Summer Vacation~ I am so excited to finally have gotten the pictures from our summer vacation that Jake, Sammie and I were able to go on. We spent 3 wonderful days going through Yellow Stone National Park, visiting my Grandparents in Montana and just watching Samantha explore, explore and explore some more.

Here is Jake, Samantha and I in front a huge tree root that was in front of our condo at Henry's Lake. And yes I am 7 months Pregnant. Here Samantha is playing in Henry's Lake. You can tell she is just so happy. She loves to run and get messy. I can still remember her coming up to me saying "mess". Oh, she makes me laugh and she really did have so much fun.

I love this picture of Samantha, her eyes and lips just kill me. She is so beautiful.

This is the trail that went from our condo down to the lake, Sammie would just run up and down it laughing and smelling every flower she past.Sammie playing in the bushes on "her" trail. I LOVE that she is so happy.

Here is Jake and Sammie in Yellow Stone Park. If you look behind Jake there is 3 tan spots, those were Elk that were bedded down in that little island. Jake and Sammie are looking at a cute little yearling Elk that was up waling around.

Jake was most excited for this trip because he was going to get to go fishing at his "secret pond" that he hadn't been too for years. Here he is in his fishing boat. I think if I would have told Jake this wasn't Heaven he wouldn't have believed me. He truly does love the outdoors.

Here is Samantha throwing rocks into Jake's "secret pond". We did this for about 2 hours while Jake was fishing. There was not one rock left on that shore bank when Samantha left.

The car ride home, Sammie waving bye, bye to all the fun she had had, in her sleep.

We had so much fun and the best part of it was that we were able to share part of this trip with my dad. Him and Jake went fishing together on Henry's Lake and then my dad took us up to his parents house and then we went and walked around down town. Thanks Dad for making this trip so much fun and for letting the three of us join you on your yearly fishing trip. I would also like to thank Jake for taking me up to Yellow Stone. Jake and I have been up there every year sense we meet. That was our 4Th trip up there and I love it more every time we go. This is a tradition that we just happen to make, that is one of my favorites. And if you need to know how often Old Faithful goes off just ask Jake, he knows.
