Saturday we went to the American West Heritage Center "Corn Days" it was beautiful weather. It is so worth the money to go and do all of the fun activities. We had spent over 4 hours there.

Shawn being a kid as usual.

Pony Rides! If you look at Wyatt's face you can actually tell that he is singing.

Mckaylee made a corn husk doll of course since it was " Corn Days"

Shawn and Wyatt husking corn.

It's amazing how society has changed after going to a place like this and letting your child participate in activities that farm children used to do. It makes me want a farm that much more.

~OuR PuPpY~

So the name is............Shelby!
She us awesome. I would say to get a second dog when you have one that is already trained. Shelby has done an amazing job but she is Daddy's little girl!

~OuR nEw LiTtLe PuPpy ~

Another Puppy! What were we thinking?

The Kids just love her! They give her lots of attention!

She's Already Daddy's Little Girl :)

If you all haven't noticed we are calling her "Her" a lot. We still don't have a name for her so if you have any suggestions PLEASE let us know!! She is lot's of fun and Lady loves her too! We were worried about how Lady would be with her and once she realized she wasn't going in her motherly instincts kicked right in!

Aren't they just CUTE!!!They were so excited for school to start that day that they were up at 5:30a.m. Yes, they are crazy. When I had walked out my door at 5:30 in the morning they both were sitting on there beds, mind you that they were already made, dressed and ready for school. They were sad that they still had 2 hours before school actually started!!

Ok! If you ever get the chance to head up north stop by "Bear World" We paid an extra $20 to do the Curator's Tour. When you do this you get to ride in this big truck to feed the Elk and Bears. It is so much fun. Of course if you travel with a Pickett you can count on it raining or should I say a down pour. Yes, it was overcast but not raining at all until the Pickett Family decided to get in a big truck and do something fun. While feeding the animals it rained BAD but as soon as it was over(45min later) it stopped. Anyways, the kids had so much fun doing this. The bears would sit up and clap their hands for food. The guide would start saying "Time to get up Bears" and they would crawl out from all over. The funniest was to watch the bear cubs chase each other and see who can get there first. It was great to do together as a family!

~ThE PetTinG ZoO ~

The Petting Zoo @ Bear World was fun. The kids were able to pet the deer, goats, funny looking chickens, but their favorite was the Potbelly Pig. It made the weirdest grunting noises. There was also big Moose. As you can see in the picture that it was laying right next to the Fence. Shawn walked right up and stood next to the fence and the Moose could care less. It was fun!!\
