BAD Mommie!

Happy Mother's Day! This year for Mother's Day, we decided to spend a nice, relaxing day at Yellowstone Bear World. I told Todd next year I am going to the spa by myself. We had a really fun time, and if you are ever in Eastern Idaho, you should definitely go there--it's way less cheesy than it looks on the outside. And, it is, by far, the cleanest park we have been to since moving here.

Anyway, I posted some pictures, but just had a few funny stories to share.

To prelude, I have to say that Tate loves to eat. If anyone reading this does not know, he rarely skips a meal and always eats almost everything given to him. He also gets his business done. While Logan goofs around and never eats, Tate is done in 5 minutes having finished everything on his plate. Breakfast is probably his best meal, with it being Logan's worst.

While we were getting ready to go to Bear World, I got the best Mother's Day gift ever--Tate, my early riser, slept until 7:45 a.m.! By far a record for him. Anyway, we were hurrying to get ready and while I was getting ready, I heard Todd feeding the kids breakfast. There were sounds of waffles and cereal. A little while later when we were putting things in the car, Tate found a container of crackers and cookies in the pantry and was double fisting them into his mouth. In the car, with one hand tightly clenched around the container and the other shoving FIVE--yes five, cookies into his mouth, I said, "Tate, what's the deal? Didn't daddy just feed you breakfast?" Todd said, "I thought you fed him breakfast! You always feed him first!" Which in his defense is true. We--okay I---totally forgot to feed my kid breakfast! And on Mother's Day and everything! I did stop and buy him a donut. I totally win the Mother of the Year contest.

These are the baby cubs--so cute. Did you know they purr like cats? We got to pet them.

Also, spring is a great time to visit. We were told to keep the car moving and keep the windows rolled up because the bears are extra "frisky" in the spring. Duu--there were two totally doin' it right behind the guy as he was telling us this.....
