Chuck E. Cheese Extravaganza

 We traveled to Billings this past weekend for some fun with family.  Billings is a half-way point for us and my older sister, Liz, so it has been fun to meet up there.  This weekend, our main purpose in going was to celebrate my nephew's seventh birthday.  Lee and I were able to snag in a quick trip to the temple as well.  We thought it would be super busy since every hotel room in Billings was booked for various events, but our session was quite small.  I got a little car sick both ways on this trip.  Temple sessions and Dramamine don't mix well...

Mom and Liz went to the Cracker Barrel with some of the earliest risers on Saturday morning.  I love this picture they took of Kim.  It really showcases her baby blues!

 Emmalee's baby blues are equally as dazzling:

  Kim thought Emma needed fed...

 A grand-kid picture Grandma Ferris insisted we try to take.  Like my sister says, it isn't pictures unless someone is screaming and someone else is picking their nose.  Classic!

 We stayed at the Billings Hotel and Convention Center.  It was fun to stay there since my Grandma worked there for well over 20 years when she was alive.  It was interesting to see how it has changed.  By far our favorite part was the pool.  The pool there has a half-pipe twisty slide and a straight shot tunnel.  We took advantage of the fun and went swimming twice!

Taylor got to feed some ducks that live outside in the courtyard.

 My trio of trouble:

 Chuck E. Cheese was a lot fun, overstimulating, but fun!  Everyone pooled their tickets one and at the end the kids had over 1300 to share on prizes!

 My Uncle Rodney and other extended family stopped by to celebrate.  It was my Uncle's birthday also so he got to join in on the birthday fun.  Kim was not so sure of him this time:

 Taylor had a lot of fun at Chase's birthday party and is now dreaming of the day she can have a party at Chuck E. Cheese too.
