- Of course by now it is obvious that it is not possible for any extended period of time to go by without some ‘thing’ happening. We arrive at our next accommodations for the evening, The Red Pole Ranch. I go to check in, within the 10 feet I have to walk, I am attacked by a swarm of mosquitos and get bitten at least 7 times. By the time I go back out to the car, all of about 15 minutes, Connor is crying in hysterics. “Mom, I’m going to get sick” which he then proceeds to actually do (Thank God outside of the car) but still only 10 feet away from the registration office. We find our cabin, as Connor quickly crawls into bed I start to unload the car and offer Aidan and Finn each 10 cents a piece for every mosquito they kill – 20 cents if it is close to Beckett. Apparently I owe them a total of $6.80…or so they claim.
- Our view was AMAZING!!
In the morning Connor is feeling good again, but unfortunately I think he inherited my ‘motion sickness’ gene and one to many turns down the windy road did him in. We manage to pack up and leave at our best time yet -9:00 a.m. – but (of course there’s a but) not without first managing to clog the sink and toilet.
Today. Today is the day, the day more than any other day, I hope, I hope the most the boys will remember. Today is Yellowstone day. Of the many people, the very many people to whom I spoke, who visited Yellowstone have said, have said as a child, said by far, it was their most memorable vacation day. Today, I hope this is the day.
