Vacation notes

**Notice - all pics were taken with my cell phone. I haven't yet figured out how to make the pics load any bigger without becoming too pixelated. If you know how to fix that, please let me know.**

On the 4th, my beautiful niece got married. She, naturally, was a beautiful bride!! Her new hubby seems like such a sweetie, and he seems to love my niece and her daughter great deal.

We then spent the night at my parents. The girls got to ride the 4-wheelers and play with my niece's daughter, which is always fun.

On Monday, we went to a theme park not too far from home. M. is a roller coaster/thrill ride fanatic. On one roller coaster, J. rode with one of her arms across M.'s chest because M. rode with her arms up in the air. J. was determined to keep her from falling out.

On Tuesday, we went to my father-in-law's house. He and his wife were great hosts. We went to see Wall-e while we were there. We also got to see some great mountain views:








On Wednesday, we headed up to the mountains to my parents cabin. M. found a baby bird that had fell out of it's nest:
It actually let her pick it up and hold it. We made it a little nest in a bowl to keep it warm and safe while we figured out what to do with it. We called a good friends of ours, SLK, who not only was a forester, but also makes a habit out of rescuing animals. We found out that the mommy bird would come back for it. We followed her instructions and the mommy did come and find it. She seemed so excited, as did the little baby.

We rode 4-wheelers a lot and walked down to the waterfall. We also went fun-yakking. We managed to get sunburned. Woo-hoo!

We had a lot of fun, but we are now back to reality. At the beginning of summer, we always think that we have all kinds of time to get things done, then, before you know it, summer is almost over and we are just getting started.

I know this was not an exciting post for everyone, but it will document our trip so that we can come back and remember it later.

I hope to post more pictures soon.
