We finally got to go camping with our RoamSchool buddies!\u2020 We had a blast.\u2020 Below are various pictures from the trip.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first one is Kei at home cutting up onions for my salsa.\u2020 The onions were burning her eyes!<\/span><\/p>\n

The trip went by very quickly and we were soon there.\u2020 We set up camp and then went exploring.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cathy had made Lasagna so we got the kids plates.\u2020 They were all starving from the busy day.<\/span><\/p>\n

The sunset was incredible.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Smores!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

We all ran into town to the grocery store where Kei found a dog that looked just like Nomad on the Cottonelle!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span>
It's Nomad!!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We also went to the Bison and Elk Prairie.\u2020 We saw around 40 bison and 22 elk.\u2020 We were all so excited.<\/span><\/p>\n

Good Times<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We ate Tacos that night but I was too busy eating to take pictures!\u2020 They were so yummy!\u2020 I want more right now!<\/span><\/p>\n

The next day we had to leave because Cathy had to get back to work.\u2020 Even though everyone offered for us to stay with them, it was time to get our little family home.\u2020 Before we left we stopped by the Plantaterium which was really cool.\u2020 They also had some other exhibits.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then we went to an 1850 working farm.\u2020 We loved that.\u2020 Kei asked tons of questions and tried to convince me that she could work there for the summer if I would go with her.\u2020 Ummm…NO thanks sweetie.<\/span><\/p>\n

It seemed like it took forever to get home.\u2020 The GPS took us some crazy way and it rained and stormed the entire way home.\u2020 Nomad was exhausted!<\/span><\/p>\n

All in all a wonderful trip.\u2020 When we got home and got unpacked Kei took a long bubble bath and found a tick!!\u2020 I kinda freaked out and had to Google it to see how to remove it.\u2020 It came out really easily and we checked each other for more of the bloodsucking things!\u2020 No more were found but we did find one on Nomad!\u2020 It took forever to get that sucker out and poor Nomad was crying and Kei was crying but we finally got it out.\u2020 Ticks suck!<\/span><\/p>\n

Tomorrow is Soulstock<\/a> and we are both so excited!<\/span><\/p>\n

Happy weekend,<\/span><\/p>\n
