The Bouck's and the Call's came to stay with us, and what a great time we had! They pulled up Tuesday night in a huge, and I mean HUGE RV! The kids were so excited to see all their friends, but I don't think they were near as excited as Ryan and I were to see our friends. There is just something about being with friends that you totally love that lifts your spirits, and give you strength to endure. The Bouck's and the Call's totally fill our reserviors! Thanks for a great week guys.
What a great week. We had 22 people in our house, and we loved every second of it... except the two days that we didn't have water and Ryan about died when the control box on the water pump blew up on him... but other than that... Having 15 children ,ranging in age from 13- 6 months, might seem a lot, but honestly we loved every second of it. I loved the massive amounts of food we had to cook, and the hustle of trying to get them all into the car to go places, and counting...counting... and re-counting to make sure we had them all everytime we left a place. I was in heaven.
With a the technology, like Wii's and satallite T.V., movies, and the internet, we found that a simple stream can keep children of all ages thoroughly entertained for hours on end. From the adults to the babies, we could have spent all day there, with no one complaining, or wanting to leave.
We went on the boat ride that takes you to Gates of the Mountains, just outside of Helena, and it was a little boring for the kids, but pretty interesting. On our way home we took Recreation Road, and stopped at this little stream. We had stopped here last labor day, and it was just so much fun.

This sounds exactly like something you'd love - the more chaos the better! That stream looks like alot of fun, I'm glad you all had a good time :).
Looks like a great time...friends are the best.
Sounds like a BLAST! Three amazing families under on roof. :D Crazie-ness
How fun! Joy said you all have a great time together. Sounds like an eventful weekend too.
Sounds like a great vacation for everyone. Melanie, you are such a great mom and could probably do 12 children without any trouble. Tell Ryan!
