Watford City/Bruno Mars

We made it to Watford City! A whole caravan of us: Kyle, me, the kids, Abb, Jord, and Terri. Joe and Kelsie had a nice little barbeque in their backyard, and we played some bocci ball. I beat Carter and Landon twice, much to their dismay!

The next day all 6 girls headed to Fargo: a mere 5 & 1/2 hours away to go see Bruno Mars! It was well worth it. I didn't take many pictures because of the lights (as you can see), but I have some videos to post later. Also, Panera in Bismarck is my new favorite place to eat. Yum! A big thanks to Kyle and Joe for entertaining the kids while we were gone. They had a great time eating ice cream, playing in the gymnastics room, and knocker ball! I'll have to steal some pics from Kyle. They had a great time!

Two little buddies and their electronic devices.

Abb, Jord, and Terr had to head back to Butte on Sunday. Hawkins gave them some big loves before they left.

We decided to go to Williston and check out their indoor pool, playground, basketball courts, etc... Nice photobomb Kyle. Link hadn't arrived yet. He had to make a McDonald's stop.

Happy people in the kids' pool.

Avers enjoying the lazy river. They also had two fun waterslides that we all tried.

It's a very neat facility.

Lando riding the river.

Carterman and Ave lounging.

Linky Lou trying a little slide.

Erica and Hawkins left for the playground. We took a quick pic before we got out. Notice Link's face here...

And now here! Everyone was laughing at the little turkey.

Family photo!

It's nice to have a 6'8" Dad!

The indoor playground was pretty fun too!

My kids taught Hawkins how to climb on top of this thing...

He was very proud of himself!

After that, it's all he wanted to do!

Lincoln spinning about.

As we were heading back to Butte the next day, I had to get a picture of this place. I missed the limo out front, but I did get the signs. Kyle and I were impressed by the number of services this one place offered: Mexican Food (which Erica and Kelsie said is delicious!), Check Cashing, and Cell Phone Repair.

Landon rode with us back. The little boys wanted Avery to join them. These two are awfully cute, can't believe they are 10.

Avery escorting her buddies into Chuck E. Cheese - our Billings stop.

Erica rocking out on Guitar Hero. She had quite an audience.

The next day we went over to Clark's Park for a foam party. It was packed! Ave looked gorgeous in bubbles.

Teague kept attacking his Auntie Kelsie.

Link was quite covered!

Later that day we had cousin pictures taken by our buddy Nikki (Foley) Edmundson. She always does the best job, and we love the annual photo shoot. She's editing them now, but I snapped a quick one of my kids. I know they are going to turn out great!
