Photo Every Hour: July 21st

July's "Photo Every Hour" is brought to you by my wonderful parents and our family vacation to the Palmer Gulch Lodge in the Black Hills. It was a long day of travel to get out there on Thursday the 20th, but we made up for it with plenty of fun on the 21st!

 

Because of course my boys wouldn't sleep in on the first day of vacation #momlife

7:00 Although I guess I can't complain too much about being up early when this is my view

8:00 Silly boys

9:00 Second breakfast #myboysarehobbits #yeswearestillinpajamas #vacationlife

10:00 Story time with cousin Rose

11:00 When the big boys are away at a "real" golf course, the little boys will play putt-putt!

12:00 Lunch spread

1:00 Finally. Vacation time for Mommy

2:00 This kid. He spent at least two hours of the drive on Thursday coloring in this book, and before we left on Sunday he had the entire book colored. Suffice to say it was $5 well spent (and yes, he has his tongue out. Coloring requires the utmost concentration)

3:00 Pool Time!

4:00 More putt-putt. Having this (free!) course at the resort within walking distance of our cabin was probably the highlight of the trip for my boys

5:00 Waiting on the Fam Damily to head out for dinner

6:00 Sampling the local food and wine fare at Prairie Berry Winery

7:00 Thankfully there was entertainment for the boys, because apparently wining and dining eight adults and four children is a little bit of a long process

8:00 Story time with Grandma and Grandpa before bed

9:00 Bonfire time in the cool mountain evening? Yes please

10:00 More bonfire because #vacation

Bedtime!

And because I know I won't get around to typing up another post about our trip out to the Black Hills, I have to throw a few pictures on here from our Saturday adventure. We booked a trip on a 1880s train that took us from Hill City to Keystone and back again. It was fun for young and old(er) alike!

Okay, so obviously not a photo of the train ride, but I had to throw this family picture in as well!
