Since we moved here, Lincoln has been obsessed with the 'MOUNTAIN' (Scotts Bluff National Monument). He has been wanting to go there so badly. One evening, the boys & I drove out past there & then he got really excited, because he could see the tunnels. The next night as we were leaving church, he told Mike that he wanted to go on a date to the mountain! A picnic date!! So, Mike told him that on Wednesday, we would go! He was so excited! Tuesday night, I asked him what kind of food we should take on our picnic date to the mountain. We decided on: meat, cheese, & crackers, strawberries, cookies with chocolate candy in them, and root beer! So much FUN!
On Wednesday, I told Lincoln that it was time to get our clothes & shoes on so we could go to the mountain & his response was, "Is it WEDNESDAY?!?!" So, off we went... all
four FIVE of us!
We had a blast! The boys loved climbing & hiking on the rocks! Mommy did pretty good too...no worries, I didn't try to do any climbing, but we did have a nice walk! The season pass cost us $15 and it is good for a whole calendar year! We have a card & as long as Mike or I are in the vehicle, we can use it! I originally thought that I would be able to take the boys sometimes when Mike was at work...HA!!! There is no way I will be able to do that for a LONG time! They are so busy up there. Mike had to stay very close to them the whole time. Absolutely not a great idea while I'm pregnant for sure, then when I have the baby....um...still not a good idea! Oh well, we can still go very often!
Well, here are some pics from our day! Enjoy...OH & come visit & you can join us on a picnic date to the mountain!

Aww, I love it. So cute. Sounds like something Brayden would say. Looked like you guys had a LOT of fun. And I totally agree with you on going to a place like that alone with the kids... I still have troubles going ANYWHERE with all 3 of mine... I just would rather wait til Jeff can come than go at all. I think the only place so far that I have gone is to the church (or technically driving to Scottsbluff)...
ReplyDeleteI still have trouble going places with all 3 of mine too ... and it is the same issue because they like to wander off on their own too! I guess some things never change! :) Sounds like you had a blast!
