The Game of Life

Well, we've successfully moved back to Memphis!  Except for the humidity and heat, it's good to be back.  Buddy's parents helped us move into our new apartment, which was so helpful.  We were able to move stuff in and get unpacked in record time.

Only four more months until we move again!  Ahh!  Our move to Maryland will be a little different than our last two moves.  Our car will look something like this:

Wish us luck! :)

Glacier Trip

Just wanted to post pics from our awesome Kalispell/Glacier National Park trip.  Sorry if I repeat some things I said about the trip.  I'm too lazy to go read and check what I wrote last post.

 It was so beautiful there.  Did I mention that we wouldn't mind living there?  It's a possibility--just as much as any other place in the country :)  Only time will tell where we'll end up when Buddy graduates...

We wish we could have stayed longer than two nights, but it was a great trip for the amount of time we had.  Our cabin was great, and it was so nice to visit Glacier National park and see just how pretty it is.

 We spent a few hours at Lake McDonald in the park.  The water was a blueish-green color.  It was probably the prettiest lake I've ever seen.  We all rented a boat, and Buddy and Michael even tried a little fishing :).  Apparently I wasn't thinking enough positive fishing thoughts, though, since we didn't catch anything.

 Buddy the fisherman!

 Yes, there's still snow in the mountains.  The road going through the park was closed off in one part because of snow removal/avalanche issues.  In July!

 Unfortunately, Chase's life jacket wasn't too comfortable.  But he didn't complain.  What a trooper!

 Chase must get his dark skin from his aunt.  They almost match perfectly!  How she manages to get so tan in Seattle is beyond me...

 Where's Buddy?  Oh, yeah, someone had to take the picture...

 Our cabin!  I would have loved to own the ranch this cabin was on so we could all come out for family reunions.  I just need 4 or 5 million dollars...

I wish we would have gotten pictures of the inside of this cabin.  It was so cute!  The living room wasn't great, but it had a nice kitchen and some cute (small) bedrooms.  Perfect for a vacation stay.  My brother-in-law got a deal for us to stay at the cabin.  What a guy!  I'd never heard of VRBO.com before, but I'll definitely check it out for our future excursions.  So much nicer to stay in a vacation rental than in a hotel.
