Part 3: Virginia City. MT

From Ennis we drove 15 miles over to Virginia City, Saturday Morning. Virginia City is an old gold mining town which is now been turned into a tourist stop full of fun little old western and souvenir shops. We took an old time family photo here as well as a guided tour round the town. It was fun. I think this might be our first family photo of all 5 of us.

We planned on taking the stage couch tour but ended up taking the old fire truck tour instead. It was a little cheaper and RJ thought it would be pretty cool riding on the old fire truck.

However, as you can see the kids didn't enjoy it much. RJ said "This guy is talking too much and there is too many stops. When are we done?" It was a half hour tour and Jared and I really enjoyed.

But we made it up to the kids with some old fashion home made ice cream.

Here are just some fun photos I took around the town.

Part 2:Ennis, MT

We stayed at the Riverside Motel in Ennis, MT. It was a great little place to stay. The rooms were cute and cabin style. There was a park near by with a great little fishing pond for the kids. But we forgot our poles :(

Just down main street was a fun little diner with a bunch of ride sitting right outside. A man at the motel gave the kids a bunch of quarters to ride the rides. We enjoyed some yummy cheeseburgers and RJ had a Buffalo Hot Dog.

Part 1: Mesa Falls (Idaho)

Last weekend we took our last road trip while living here in Idaho. :(

We have been wanting to visit Virginia City, MT and this was our last chance, so we went. On the way up to Montana we stopped at Mesa Falls and enjoyed the scenery. It was a nice stop to break up the trip a little.

RJ took some pictures of his own. He said "This is the best camera ever! Because you don't have to get the pictures off it and it never runs out of batteries!"

Banana Phone

Savannah's new thing to do with bananas. Why do we buy toys???

Baby Zach

He is officially four months tomorrow. Boy, does time go by fast! It always amazes me how fast these babies grow. Zach is now grabbing at stuff and putting them in his mouth. He still isn't sleeping through the night but he goes to bed pretty easily and only gets up once or twice.

The other night I was putting all his 0-3 month clothes away and filling his dresser with 3-6 month clothes. I laid him down next to me while I worked on the task and he feel asleep watching me. It was 9:30 pm and I just left him on the floor and he slept there till 2am. The next night he did the same thing, I laid him down in bed to get something done and he put himself to sleep. My other two kids NEVER fell asleep on their own like this!!

Trying rice cereal for the first time.

Not liking it too much.
