The End of Summer...

So, it's here. The end of summer. I hate to say it, but I was kind of looking forward to it this year. I officially quit my job on August 22nd and I'm going back to school full time. It's going to be a nice change, and who knows - maybe some day I'll finish! Anyways, Jake and I celebrated our last free weekend with a trip to the cabin, Shane-less. Unfortunately, Shane had to work all weekend, but we were able to survive without him! :) We headed to Island Park with my Mom, Dad, Cory, Ashley, Bubba, and of course Muddie. We all had a good time, and we even discovered a new favorite past time in Yellowstone - SWIMMING!! I don't know how many times I've been dragged through that park and I've never been able to enjoy FIRE HOLE! It was fabulous. Jake thoroughly enjoyed the car seat break and a little dip in the water. Cory, Bubba and I tried our hand at swimming up stream and scaling rocks for a little adventure - If you jumped in the rapids at exactly the right spot the current would take you for quite a ride and spit you back out at the bottom. It was actually really fun, and a little harder than it looked! Here are a few pics of our last summer outing!


If you couldn't tell, Jake has been really into keys, climbing and puppies. He loved playing fetch with Mudd down at the river, and would get pretty excited when she found the stick and brought it back. But I'd have to say that his obsession with "teys" (keys) is what made the trip. He was in heaven with all the keys that were lying around the cabin, and wasn't quite satisfied until he knew exactly what hole they fit into - and don't even try giving him fake keys, believe me, he knows better.
