In October, we headed off to Montana for our usual fall trip. We decided to go during Rilyn's fall break so she wouldn't miss any enrichment days. This kids did so well on this trip and if I wasn't 31 weeks pregnant it probably would have been our best drive; however, my old preggo body hated that drive and it took me quite a few days to recover from it. The kids are really becoming champs at the drive and the older two barely make a peep during the 9 + hours they are in the car. They watch movies, eat snacks, and are most excited to stop in Wyoming at McDonalds to play.
This trip, we had planned a surprise 50th birthday party for my Uncle Sam. The kids love their Uncle Sam and get so excited when they get to spend time with him.
Sawyer is in love with all things trucks so my dad took the kids out to a work site to drive his excavator. All the kids had a blast. Ryder really wanted to know how it worked and asked question after question as well as thought it was hilarious when he could make it go a little crazy. Sawyer still talks about the way it sounded and how it drove it. You can't say he rode in it, you have to say he drove it because that is what he did. And Rilyn likes to talk about how crazy of a driver Ryder is lol.
We also had a surprise party for my grandpa who turned 76. He was pretty shocked to see almost all his grandkids and great grandkids hanging out at his favorite restaurant waiting to have dinner with him. Not everyone was there, but we were only missing a couple of people so I think that was pretty special for him.
Of course, we spent our time doing our usual...playing with daycare, eating lots of sugary cereal, and playing with cousins. The Nelson cousins spend so much time with their little cousins. The boys pretty much do anything Rilyn wants and they all love their cousins so intensely.

| Sawyer got a DVD after our trip since his firetruck video didn't work on the way up, and he carried it around with him wherever he went. At this moment he was saving Papa's spot for him while he was at work. |
