Tonight I drove to meet Bryan half-way to switch Rylee and Morgan. He decided he wanted to do the scenic route so we met at
Craters of the Moon National Monument. It was a pretty drive this time of year and allowed Carson, Rylee and I to spend some more quality time together. We stopped in Arco to find something to eat. Not many choices! Carson kept asking if they had certain fast food restaurants, I finally told her no, they just have gas stations! We did find a place to grab a drink and a few things and went on our merry way.
On the way home, we stopped in
Arco again as I had seen a park on the way and wanted to stop and take pictures. It happens to be a park dedicated to submarines from World War II - so I snapped a few pics of the kids. There was a torpedo and an actual
submarine sail. Pretty interesting.
Finally, we found a cool little gas station that had soft-serve ice cream - both chocolate and vanilla. They were out of chocolate :( The vanilla was pretty good though. Morgan and I both love ice cream so that was a nice treat for us.

I am so glad to have my baby boy back!!!! I missed him.
I also can't believe summer vacation is more than half over! I found out today Princess Little starts school on August 22. That is too soon. We better enjoy this next month as much as we can.
