As you will see below, we have had an eventful few weeks...the Mickelson Farm, swimming, and my family's cabin in Montana! This is a long post but since it is my journal I can't help but include every detail!
An exciting find of mine was this bag of Razzles. Unless you have seen the movie 13 going 30 this probably means nothing. I just had to buy them...I guess I just thought I would be cool if I ate the same candy as they did. Well the sad part of this is that Razzles aren't that good. Oh well, at least I can say I have had them! That just goes to show that movies really do make everything look better.

Here we are at the Mickelson Reunion. It was so fun to see everybody and see all the cute farm animals! Apparently that cow licks people haha. Luckily it didn't lick me. And the lambs (or sheep) whatever they are have such puffy little coats. You kind of just want to squish them!
My boy and I have the luxury of living right next to a private pool. Let's just say we try to take advantage of it. Although I haven't been a huge fan of getting in the water, I enjoy working on my tan. Since for the most part it is just my boy and I hanging out he is left to swim by himself. I wish I could get a picture of this, but he won't let me. We'll just say that if you were to walk by the pool you would see me lying on a chair in the sun and then Michael just playing around in the pool all by himself. It's actually quite cute. The last time we went I realized it might be nice if he had a friend to swim with so I actually joined him.
One day, the twins and Harrison came over to swim while Michael was golfing. Because it was SO hot I couldn't resist getting in.

Ever since I was a little girl I have always wanted to go to Bear World. Each summer as we would drive past it on our way to the cabin I would beg my parents to stop. They wouldn't and would just say that it is just like the zoo and not worth the money. Obviously they had NO idea. Well now that I am 20 and have established my own family {Michael} I have a bit more freedoms. So when I explained this little story to my boy he said, " well I'll take you there!" So we stopped and let me just say it was a well spent 33 dollars. It was a drive through park so we couldn't get out of the car for obvious reasons. As we began our drive there were bison, an albino elk thing, deer, moose, regular colored elk, and turkeys running around everywhere. Even in the road sometimes. And then we got to this special gate and as we drove inside we started to see bears! They were everywhere! Some would just walk right in the middle of the road and next to car like we weren't even there. I absolutely loved this! Now the best part was after we drove through the entire park we got to go a little petting zoo. Right outside the petting zoo were 2 cages that had baby bears in them. Can I just say that baby bears are really the cutest little things ever?! Well besides elephants and baby Olivia. But they would just roll around wrestling together. I was so tempted just to jump in and grab one of them. One of the bears was a showoff and decided to climb one of the logs and then slide down it like it was a pole! It was adorable. I think I could have sat there watching those bears all day. But we moved on to the part of the zoo where we actually got to pet some of the animals. I am not a fan of touching them but it was still fun to see them all running around together. I thought the little Bambi deer was quite cute. And of course Michael loved the big moose. (He didn't get to pet him though). I am pretty sure I enjoyed Bear World just as much as a 5 year old would and I am so lucky to have my boy make all my dreams come true!
On Wednesday July 14th we arrived at the cabin! We spent 3 1/2 days there and it was wonderful!
Some of the fun things we did were:
-catch 40 bats by hand (Michael)
-jetski
-ATV rides
-walks
-tubing (Michael)
-ping pong (I did beat Michael 2 out of the 15 or so games we played!)
-Eat really good food (thanks to Uncle Tom)
-roasted smores
-went hunting, shot a squirrel (poor thing), and then roasted it (Michael and boys)
-went to breakfast in West Yellowstone
-watched movies with homemade icecream
-drank hot chocolate
-were attacked by swarms of mosquitos (Not me so much because my blood is bitter)
-relaxed and talked
