Company, Kate's Birthday, and Yellowstone

We've had quite the party the last two weeks. It started with Greg, Jodi, Kaiya, and baby Aliya coming to stay with us for a few days. We had a great time with them. Kate and Kaiya loved each other and Kate was pretty excited about baby Aliya.

We celebrated Kate's 2nd Birthday by going fishing in the morning, to McDonald's for lunch, followed by naps and then we headed to the fun park to play in the jungle gym. It was a busy day, but the girls had a great time.

The next day Matt's Mom, Dad, and brother Dan arrived along with his sister Jenny and her family. We had a big birthday party for Kate and her Grandpa. Matt cooked up a huge feast of food and then we had a great night playing with all the little ones, and taking turns playing with Kate's Birthday presents.

The next day we packed up and headed to Yellowstone for a family reunion, renting a RV on the way. Yellowstone was amazingly beautiful and we saw tons of wild life including 2 grizzley bears, a heard of elk, bison, antelope, and Kate's favorite the chipmunks. We spent 4 days there driving to all the sites, playing in the dirt, and watching all the little girls play.
