Valentines Day Weekend

Be fore warned.....LOTS of pictures and a long post!

Valentine's Day was pretty low key around here. Kylie had Joy School that day so we made some valentines for each of the Joy School kids and we did their siblings too. She had fun helping make them and then playing with and eating all the leftovers. :)

The boys got cards that said "I am Wheely glad we are friends." and a hot wheel.
(thank you pinterest!!)
The girls got 2 sheets of stickers and a little home made sheet that says "Hey Valentine, Let's stick together!"

They also each got two pink heart shaped rice crispies.
Yum!
 
I also weaved together some paper baskets and filled them with treats for Mike, Kylie and Sidney.
I enjoyed the butterfinger hearts I put in them!
 
 
Since it was a three day weekend we decided to run up to Cody on Saturday. After what turned out to be a long few hours in the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, we decided to get a room and stay the night in Cody.
We stayed at the Best Western Ivy....something. It may seriously be the nicest hotel I have ever stayed at. Ever. They had the nicest pack n plays I have ever seen at a hotel, the most amazing bed, a walk in rock lined shower, a keurig and some of the nicest staff I've ever experienced at a hotel. The two guys at the front desk that night went way out of their way to get us a safety pin. And then when they finally found one, they brought it to me at the pool. Anyways...it was a great hotel!
 
We spent a good 3.5 hours in the Buffalo Bill center and we still didn't see everything. It is a great center and there was awesome hands on stuff for the girls and some great exhibits. If you guys ever go through Cody, I would recommend checking it out!
 
Here are a bunch of pictures from our visit to the center.
 


 The trip started with us pulling over on the side of the road not even half way into the drive because little miss Sidney decided to throw up her breakfast. Sigh. This was the fourth maybe fifth time she has thrown up shortly into a drive. She then feels perfectly fine. We are under the impression that she is going to be a carsick girly. We decided to turn her car seat around and have her face forward already. She seems to be cool with it, and she managed to not throw up the rest of the way to Cody or on the way home. :) This is her napping after we turned her forward on the way to Cody.
 
One of the first exhibits is this group of bison. I just thought
they were cool. :)

Kylie was so excited about the saddles that were meant for
kids to sit on and try out!

Sidney wouldn't come any closer to us, she was
downright terrified of.......

This guy. She thought he was real and wanted
nothing to do with him. :)
 
A cool moose mount.

More saddle riding. :)

When Sidney first came to these in-floor exhibits she sat down and tried to crawl
down the "step" she saw. It was pretty hilarious. :)
 
She also came across a movie of a pow-wow and she got so excited and started dancing along with them. It was soo cute and as soon as I went to record it, she stopped. :)

I have never seen a walrus mount and
I just thought this was fabulous. :)

That is a big o bear!
 
The girls thought it was soo fun to share their water.
 
At the end of our museum fun, there was a bird show.
Normally, they have 5 or 6 birds, but on the weekend they only
had 2 birds. This vulture.

And this owl. :)
