We made it to Bowman on Thursday evening just in time for some dinner. Because of all the rain they have been getting up there, the basement was pretty damp and the sub pumps had been running regularly. We slept upstairs the first night because Grandma and Gramps were worried it might be moldy downstairs. I counted all the years I had been coming there (10 years) and this was the first time I had slept upstairs.
The sign, we always forget to take a picture in front of the sign so this trip we did it first.
The boys with Gramps, they love him and his chair so much!
Logan reading Gramps a story about our pictures.
We took picture the first part of the trip instead of trying to do it while loading the car to leave. We got all dressed up to go to church with them, we had a good time.
There is a Museum in Ekalaka, Montana that has a 2 headed cow and since Bowman is a very small town, we had to check that out. It was about a 2 hour drive but North Dakota has gotten SO much rain, everything was flooded and really neat to see.
My boys love rocks!
In this room you can see all the Geodes with a black light.
The 2 headed calf
After the museum we needed lunch and in this SUPER small town there is only 1 diner. And apparently all 300 people have lunch there. It took FOREVER!!! The boys were starving so they started taking pictures. Thus, these....
The food was great though!
Before we left town, we wanted to check out the Cemetery because Gramma's brother is buried there. As we left the Cemetery this is what we saw....
There you go! Mormons are everywhere!!
On the way back we found a place called the Medicine rocks and we stopped in to see what is was. It turns out you can carve on these rocks, although there are signs saying not to. The boys loved climbing and carving. It was cold out so there were no snakes, or we would not have stopped.
They were carved out by the wind.
I can't flip this picture but it's so good. :(
Gramma and the boys. The boys love her so much, she is so good to get out there and climb through the rocks and play on the ground with them. The boys are very lucky to have great-grandparents that are so good to them.
Grandma Linda and Sam
Dave and hiked over to a cliff, it was really neat, you could see forever it seemed.
Dave and I hiked into this thing, I was cool, but bird poop every where and snakes I'm sure.
This is an old school drinking fountain, Dave loved it and wants to find one for our yard.

We always have to get a picture of the boys holding the Prime Rib.
I had to put in both, they are just so cute.
I had so much fun fishing I wanted to go back so after dinner we went back and did so more fishing.
I caught a huge one! Dave held it so you could see how big it is. Im not going to touch them, they have nasty teeth and are slimy.
Logan all of a sudden decided that he wanted to be a pirate and walked around with his fingers hooked and one of his toes hooked like a peg leg. He has such an imagination.
This could be my ALL TIME favorite picture. They all look so happy!

Gramps is so good with the boys. They love to be around him. I know that Gramps can't understand most of what the boys say to him but he listens and they feel so important around him.
The morning shot.....We always HATE to leave Bowman! It is so laid back andjust slower there. We love so much spending our 10 days there each year. Gramma and Gramps are so nice to let us invade their house and quietness for a week or so. The boys are so excited to go each year.

We love spending time with Gramma and Gramps.The weather was really cold, windy and raining most of the time so we wanted to stay inside and be warm and dry. One evening Dave ventured out to go fishing, his most favorite thing ever. By 10:30pm he still hadn't come home so Linda and I went searching for him. We actually passed him on the road, and after a long talking to from his Mom and Gramps, he told us that the fishing was so great. He was catching huge Northern Pike almost every cast. The next day he left before before dawn to get back to those fish. The boys wanted to go see the fish so we packed a little snack and headed to the dam. We ended up staying most of the afternoon, the fishing was great even the boys were catching them.
Logan got his face scratched.
