Life in Wyoming

So, there isn't much to do in Wyoming unless you are really outdoorsy.  I've been camping twice this summer, which is a big step for me.  We used to go all the time, but the last time we went before this summer there was a bear attack the night we were camping, pretty close to us.  I have had a serious camping-phobia since then.  I'm glad I'm getting over it...

We went camping in Thermopolis with some of our friends from church.  The world's largest hot springs are there.  We went swimming at the water park, which was hot spring water in pools with water slides.  It was so cool!  I wish I took a picture of it.

The girls had so much fun playing with the kids.  It gets boring at our apartment, and the girls never really play with kids their age.
 Claire is obsessed with the two girls, and asks me to style her hair like one of theirs every day. 
 Blake was shaking the bridge and making it sway.  It made me so nervous!


We made a stop at the dinosaur museum.  It is supposed to be the best one in the U.S., but the one at Thanksgiving Point is a lot better.  It was fun, though.

We went to the fair and rodeo when it was in town.  The girls had a lot of fun.  We looked into signing Jayce up for mutton-busting, but the age-limit is 8.  She was well under the weight limit, though.
Jayce rode the ring of fire for the first time.  She was going to last year, but chickened out.  She loved it when we were done, but she was pretty freaked out while we were on it.





Jayce wants to dye the ends of her hair bright blue.  We've been putting Sun-In on the ends to lighten them just a little.  That part worked, but the blue just wouldn't really stick.  After the first day the ends were pastel turquoise, and now they are really light green.  She wants to try it again, but I don't want to have it blue when school starts.
The other day Claire was playing with Jayce's legos, and Jayce freaked out and took it away from her.  Claire came to me crying and said, "It's my legos.  Cassie bought it for me.  She went to Target and paid for it!"  Which is totally untrue!  I bought them for Jayce.  I can't believe she could come up with that at age 2!  I'm a little worried about her.  I put the little stinker on time-out.
