We went to the cabin again with Nan this time from July 8-11. Grandma Browning came up on the 9th. We were with her for a few days, then Greg came and Jayne, Roy, and Kallie came on the 10th. We stayed a few more days with Jayne and Roy.
We saw the baby black bears and their mama with Jayne and Roy and Gma. They were right off the side of the road.
This huge elk was right by our picnic area.
My camera was not zooming right so this grizzly bear does not look that close, but he was as close as the black bear. We saw this with Nan and Gma Browning. We sat and watched him for a long time. It was so neat.
We went with Nan to Virginia City and Nevada City. It took about an hour from the cabin. The kids really loved this. They thought the ghost town was the best part of the trip. When Greg came a few days later, they wanted to go to Virginia City again. Here they are panning for gold.
This is my favorite pic. I let all the kids take their own pictures. Jill was taking a shot in a window. I just love how you can see how bad she is holding the camera.
Talk about gross! This is a double-decker outhouse. Need I say more.
We met Shawna at Red Robin for Lunch and then went to This is the Place for the afternoon. They had a lot of fun activities planned for kids. Here is Ian in a Pie eating contest.
Alli and Jill in the Watermelon eating contest
We then met Nan and Papa at the Bee's game for some baseball and fireworks.
Sadie loved the fireworks.
Eating at Billy's on the square.
The kids loved the Alpine slide
Here we are riding the gondola to the top of the mountain.
And you can't beat the view when you get to the top. "Beautiful, gorgeous, wish you were here" Anyone know which movie that's from?

Here we are watching Old Faithful.
June 10- We went to the zoo one day while the boys were at football camp. It's been awile since we've been to the zoo. It was so fun. We've had a very cool summer so far, so we weren't too hot.
June 11 - The girls and I went with some friends to Sweet's Candy Factory for a tour and lots of sampling. It was a lot of fun to see how their orange sticks, choc covered cinnamon bears, and taffy are made.
June 10-12 The boys just finished football camp up at the U. They had so much fun. Austin is doing it again next week, but Ian gets to go to Scout camp.
