 OUR CAMPSITE...

I am not much of a camper but this is the perfect place to get to know your grandchildren..We had tons of together time and really enjoyed all the long walks/climbs/bathroom trips, cooking out together, eating out together...I must admit my trips to the bathroom in the middle of the night were a little scary....The guy in the tent by the bathroom snored and it sounded just like a bear...and besides the fact that bears could be there lurking around anywhere...

 AND WE DID SEE A BEAR....actual picture taken by Carrie

 Sorry, Kaydree.....grandma needed a shower...this is our bed and breakfast our final night in Yellowstone...it is just off the Northeast border, Cook County, Montana...it was so fun...and somewhat rustic...

 Thanks to Ryan, Carrie, Kaydree, Carver, Elsie and Ava for letting us crash their outdoor experience...we so enjoyed our time with you....before you move all the way to Holland...next update with these guys will be a European tour...

and on our way out we saw another bear....

 Operation makeover the Scrapbook Room...

Before picture

 In February Ansley had a great idea to have to her husband TJ do a makeover in my scrapbook room, well that's all it took for me, from that point on I was discovering how much it would cost, etc, I even started saving money...It was so much fun,  and in May when they came to visit after Spencer's graduation in Omaha, TJ, Ansley and I,( even helped a little; )did a makeover in my scrapbook room...I am so grateful to the Bunnells for all of their hard work, I especially loved having the grandkids underfoot...love Cohen and Ledger, it was such a joy to have them in town for a little over a week...and we got so much accomplished...They also power washed my house and windows...Wow... and what a beautiful room it is...everything at my fingertips...
