Activities for the day included an adventure and hike to Old Faithful. Grandpa had walking sticks for all the kids to walk around with. The kids did an awesome job hiking to see all the geysers during our visit to Old Faithful. Payton tripped into a bench and bruised his eye and cheek. It wouldn’t be a typical vacation if Payton didn’t trip and bruise his face.
After our adventure hiking to Old Faithful the kids arrived back to the cabin and found their second letter in the Pony Express Mail. The letter read... It is now time to begin our cowboy and cowgirl games. Everyone needs to bring their hat and scarf. If you don't eat your dinner you cannot play. Hope that you had a great day at Old Faithful. Grandpa and Grandma gave the kids Guns for the day to start their Cowboy Adventure. The games for the day included a quizzy learning game where Grandma asked the kids questions about the discovery Research Center which we had visited last night and earlier this morning. The kids earned squishy bears when they answered the questions correctly. Grandma also talked to the kids about what you should do if you come in contact with a bear. The following activity Grandpa had the kids lassoing Snacks such as Cheese Balls, Carmel Popcorn, Pop and Candy with a Rope. After that Grandpa’s next game was a cowboy and Indian search. Grandpa hid cowboys and Indians outside and the kids searched for them. For every cowboy and Indian the kids returned they received a quarter. The last game consisted of throwing their cowboy hat through a Hula Hoop the prize for that game was a dollar bill. Payton spent the evening walking around telling everyone that he had a real gun. Payton is having so much fun dressing up like a cowboy; I am enjoying watching him get so excited.
