Montana Part 4 Endless Day Part 2

Here is some video of the carousal.
Okay, here we go again. Outside of the Carousal they had an amphitheatre and a neat recreation of the mountains around Helena. We spent at least an hour out there snapping pictures to take advantage of Jessica's shutterbug ways. She has an awesome camera!!! She also takes really good pictures. These are just some of the random shots we got off of my camera and I think I did a pretty good job. After we finished the pictures it was way past lunchtime and we decided to go to IHOP. What a nightmare. First we couldn't find it and we were following Michael who was taking directions from Cindy who was using her Cellphone to google where the IHOP was. After many direction changes and one u-turn and Eric getting the maddest I have seen him in a while we got to IHOP. Eating was a nightmare to. They didn't have any food. Everything we kept ordering they were out of. This ranged in variety from Chicken Nuggets, to bananas to put on pancakes, to chocolate milk. After that we finally got on the road back to Michael's. Jessica must have been feeling like causing Cindy great stress, because she sent all three boys and Michael and Cindy in their van. We all know what a children lover Cindy is. So Mom, and Jessica and Eric and I were in Mom's car. We were barely on the road when Eric had a major Bathroom attack and we had to stop at a gas station. Of course someone was in the bathroom and then someone snuck in before Eric could get in after the first person was done. Poor Eric. Poor Michael and Cindy. I was just wondering what the kids were putting them through. So we drove for another hour and a half and made it back to Michael's. As we pulled up Cindy was jumping on the trampoline with the boys while Michael was sitting in a lawn chair watching. We found out that the boys fell asleep ten minutes into the drive from Helena and mine was the first one to fall asleep. I asked Michael how he got Jimmy to fall asleep, because I can't get him to fall asleep anywhere, but his one bed without a great battle. He said he just ignored him. I've tried that, it doesn't work. Our day is not over yet..............

I hope the bear doesn't bite.
Shane looks just like my dad.
Just hanging.
Shane had just biffed it really bad.

If that other bear didn't bite, this one better.

Cute.
Cindy standing in the Gates of the Mountains.
Thrilled.
AWWWWW.
Yes Michael can tie shoes.

I love this picture of Mom.

Proof that Cindy played with the Boys.
