A Wrestling Match

I took this yesterday with my phone of the girls wrestling in the backyard.

I love it when they have relatively balanced play.  I thought it was funny that at the end when I said "Alright" to get Coulee to stop sniffing Lacey, they both took that as a sign that play should end and they both came running over to see what we were going to do instead.

Ear Hair

Coulee thinks crazy ear hair is just part of her charm.  I'm actually shocked she escaped a weekend at Jo's house without a trim!

A Sure Thing

I'm really not sure how she could miss!

But apparently it isn't hard.

Best Friends

Or maybe not...

Who says dogs' faces aren't expressive?  LOL

Grandpa Time

There were peals of laughter coming from the living room all weekend.  And in the center of it all was Dad.  As you can tell, he likes being a Grandpa.

iPhones

We showed the girls our iPhones....

They were instantly hooked.  :)

Fort Steele

This Thanksgiving, Marlin and I headed off to Cranbrook to visit and relax.  We spent Sunday at Fort Steele.  It was the first time I had been there and it was a lot of fun.

We took some family photos...

We posed in front of cheesy signs.  How perfect is it that there was a government building for Marlin and a photography one for me?

The government building had the jail...

... and some pretty blatant propaganda.

We made some rope.

We met some interesting characters.

We studied the map to figure out where we had to go to get our free lunch!  :)

We saw turkeys that had survived, at least until Christmas!

We smiled for the camera...

... some more willingly than others. ;)

We resisted parting with technology.

We laughed at the lessons on the school chalk board.

We made friends with the locals.

We panned for gold.

We practiced new skills.

But best of all, we spent time with family and had a great time!  I'd highly recommend Fort Steele to those of you who have never been.  It was fun for all ages.
