Halloween Party Oct 2012

 We had so much fun...we ate lots of fun food, played fun games, had a hay ride in Grandpas trailer, and partied until it was late at night.

We froze a glove with water for the ice cube and put it in Hawaiian punch.  Looks spooky, huh!

Cooke City August 2012

 Rilla and her new Orange Shirt and new Pink Gun...hilarious...No one will shoot me and I can't shoot anything else either. 

 Fun in the mud...mud 4-wheeling after rain...funnest thing to do at Cooke City.

 Clear the river of debris...using the truck and 4-wheelers.  This is the working crew.

 Horse riding or what!!  The kids were so cute riding this year. 

 The Great "John Wayne" Hawkins on a horse...My Hero!

 His birthday...just like every year we are at Cooke City for his birthday.  He is getting up there.

 Cleaning the stove pipe...long stove pipe.

 Hike to Lake Abundance...so pretty.

 Cutie family at the falls.

 Badmiton competitions in the yard...so fun and lots of room.

 H showing Grandma how to play games on the Ipad...

Catching the soot from the stove pipe....BE CAREFUL and DON'T FALL.

Cooke City is really a fun place...All the kids came to visit this year.  They brought their inlaws and other side of the family and it was so fun.  It was fun to get to know them better and enjoy loving them too!  We did lots of work and did lots of playing.  We enjoyed Eric's friends from school (semester abroad to Jerusalem) and we ended up hosting 56 people in the month we stayed here.  How is it then that I brought  home more food than I went up with??  When we share...it just seems to grow. 
I am so thankful for family and in-laws, and friends, and relatives, and just everyone and love them all.
