Animals in Yellowstone!

2009-08-07T22:15:00.000-07:00

The girls are still writing about Mt. Rushmore, Yellowstone and the Great Tetons but I wanted to post some photos of just a few of the animals we saw in Yellowstone and The Tetons ;-) I can't believe the animals you get to see.....WE LOVED IT! We can't wait to go back to see more! I posted 2 blogs today be sure to check out Mt. Olympus and I added pictures to earlier post on Notre Dame and Niagara Falls.

Jadelyn here, miss you all? We went to Wisconsin Dells and it was amazing because we went to an RV park and they gave us $200.00 worth of tickets for

staying at their RV site WOW I know! My sister will tell you about a few of the rides, I am

talking about the Apollo Swing, It is this swing that goes really high and you

go pack and forth really fast! I loved it, the ride videos you when you ride it and it is hilarious!

Kylie’s face is soooooo soooooo scared we will try and put it

on you tube when we get home! The water

slides

were amazing as

well! My favorite was the free fall we did with out dad! You go super high and I had to let the cable release and then we free fell for 3 seconds and then swung back and forth over the wave pool. It was the best ever!! This amusement park / water park was from something in your dreams, we kept asking ourselves if we were dreaming :-) Our next stop is South Dakota to see Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse.....

..... Ta Ta Jadelyn

How’die it’s Kylie here we are behind on our blog because some places have really bad

wi-fi!!!!!!! Well anyway we went to Wisconsin Dells in Wisconsin, my sis did not know it was a state well she’s WRONG! In this one little city in Wisconsin there are like about twenty

amusement parks and we went to this one campground which gave you four FREE tickets to the biggest best park called Mt.Olympus and there were 8 roller coasters, 28 water slides, an indoor theme park, a water

park with water slides which where amazing! I loved them and an

indoor water park too and we where still amazed that it was FREE! Me and my sis

were having the time of our lives! We went on a roller coaster FOUR times and

there is a drop that is 160 feet and the coaster goes under the parking lot back out and then back under the parking lot again....... it was so fun! We also went on

a drop well you are held up way way way high by a string and free fall and then swing check out the picture! We went on it with our dad, my mom was too scared! We were about a 110 feet in the air it was so RAD! Well gotta go now bye bye!

Canada, Niagra Falls, Notre Dame

2009-08-01T22:31:00.000-07:00

YO YO YO :o this is

Kylie here we have been through so many amazing sites these past few days! One of the sites was....... we went to South Bend to see Notre Dame it was so RAD.!. We also went to Canada or shaka la moose which I will talk about later. Well back to Notre Dame as

you know I would not know a lot about them and I thought in football we did not like them be

cause UCLA was a rival but then I heard USC ;( (sad fa

ce) was a rival so I was :)(happy) sor

ry Papa but you kn

ow I love UCLA! Also my friend Kevin's aunt is the head softball coach at Notre Dame and we saw her picture on the wall inside the sports building it was awesome! We want to watch this movie called Rudy now but we can’t find it anywhere. At Notre Dame we toured the campus and watched a cool video about it's history. We also went to the stadium, t

he library and the church. The church is beautiful and outside the church there is a grotto, where people come to pray and light can

dles. We did watch this VERY sad movie called The Great Gatsbi the main charter got shot and this other girl got hit by a car then well it was just way to much Drama!!!! We wat

ched it because it was filmed at the mansions that we saw in Rhode Island, so that part was cool :0) Now like I said we went to Canada it was so cool my sis will talk a little more but I am talking about crossing the border we had to go through this thing which asked us questions and stuff he even had a french accent! He even asked us if we had any WEAPONS! I know scary. My sis will talk about Niagra Falls, Well gotta go Bye-Bye!

Hey Hey Hey this is Jadelyn talking. In the last few days we have gone through a few states

and even a another country. I will be talking about Niagra Falls in Canada. I know cool Canada. In Canada

we stayed @ a KOA. Well anyways we went 2 Niagra Falls the next day. When we got there we did not know what 2 expect. But when we saw it we were like WOW cool! The first thing we did was go to the info center and they told us that the best tour is the maid of the mist tour. It is where you go really close 2 the falls in a big boat and get super wet. So we decided to go on that one. When we got on the boat we got on the railing which is the best spot it was SUPER awesome. So when it started I thought we where not going to get wet. BUT I was sooooo wrong, when we got to the falls we got soaked. Like we just got out of the bath or some thing. We got so close that we thought we would go under and trust me we almost did. But we were wearing ponchos they let you borrow them. W

ell after the ride we took pictures and every thing it was so much fun and cool. We left with many cool and awesome memories about the huge amazing Niagra Falls. In South Bend we also went to the College Football Hall of Fame. It was totally awesome! They had a great museum and different rooms about college football. They had a rivalry room which had UCLA vs. USC and the biggest rivalry is Michigan and Ohio. We are all ready and excited for college football this fall. Bye for now.....JADELYN

tour on land and then in the water. Then 4 dinner we went 2 Dicks Last Resort restaurant. It was so much fun the waitresses were all mean and rude. At the end they will give some people this paper hat that says embarrassing things on them like I still eat my Boogers. Kylie and I’s said I stalk boys on face book and I’l kiss cute boys for a $1. Mine was the stalking one and Kylies was the kissing one. The next day we went 2 Cape Cod it was beautiful and we went 2 a nice restaurant on the ocean and had lobster.

da da da DA (jazzy dance music) Hello it is ....... Kylie

sorry it took so long to update this new well NEW YORK blog because we did not have Wi-Fi where we were staying. :( There

is a LOT to talk about so keep up please...... guess what we saw the Statue of Liberty it was awesome her foot was as big as our huge boat just one foot! Crazy I know! Then we went to Ellis Island where my great great Grandma had to go by herself from Finland to work for rich NY peop

le. We went to a

real live Broadway SHOW called Shrek the Musical it was so FUNNY my favorite character was Pinnochio and then there was a short guy named Lord Farcwaw it was so hilarious because his legs were all small and then there were like the fairy creatures and stuff! Before the show we almost saw Obama but he went away like in a helicopter, he was in NY for something!:( My moms good friend from childhood Tom Bell is a Lt. Cr. in the US Army and he works in the hospital at Westpoint, so he and his family gave us an awesome tour and lunch it was so great! We got to see the Cadets marching and the point where the US Army was able to beat the British during the American Revolution. I saw actual canons that were captured from the British. I got their daughter Alexa w

ho is 13 e-mail so we can chat and stuff we also made a Stardoll named acobjef-kzef I know funny!;0 Also their sons are cool too they have a basement with cool musical instruments, Gabriel showed me a cool website to learn to play songs on my guitar. Then like in Washington DC we went on a me

tro like crazy!!! It was way more confusing then Washington! One day we rented bikes and rode them across Central Park and saw the Friends fountain and Tavern on the Green restaurant, it was amazing:):):) Last but not least we went to Canal street OMG it was coco there the illegal stuff they were selling...... fake stuff like Gucci and Prada! On our way to Boston we went to Yale...... one of the best schools in the world! I got a very cute hat and my sis

got a sweatshirt!:)

YO YO YO YO YO this is Jadelyn talking. This blog is all about The Big Apple NYC. It was so much fun, there were lights every where. In Time Square @ about 11:00P.M. it is still light out from all the lights. It was awesome. I loved New York sosososososososososo MUCH it is just my place. But do not worry I like CA so I will not move.There is so much shopping I LOVED it. We stayed @ a RV park in Croton on Hudson it is called that because the city is Croton and the river is the Hudson and U are right on it. We took the train into the city. In the Grand Central Station they were filming the movie Step Up 3..... we saw them doing a kissing scene it was gross

. In Time Square there is a 3 story Toys R Us the biggest in the world it has a Ferris Wheel inside the store WOW! My sister and I got Robots at the Robot Galaxy in Toys R Us....they are only in New York, it is like Build a Bear, you create your own robot then it gets programed to say your name and you can play on the computer with it. Mine is named Bob and Kylie’s is RoBro. The store also had a full size Barbie Dream House. Shrek the Musical was ama

zing and my favorite characters were the same as my sis, it was the best musical ever and I got awesome Shrek ears I was so thankful to my great parents for taking me to a REAL BROADWAY show I left with a huge smile and great memories! I had a great time at the Bell’s house at Westpoint, Alexa is very nice and we had fun on the computer. My mom is now friends with Alexa’s mom on Faceboook :-) The NY pizza was really really good we had more than once! We got to shop in Soho and found a great MOD store called Ben Sherman, I got a cute sweater and my sister got a cool hat! Look at the picture :-) We are off to Boston. Ta Ta ~Jadelyn

Amish Country/Philadelphia

2009-07-15T09:49:00.000-07:00

Joy here, My favorite so far is the Amish Country, we stayed in an RV resort in New Holland just outside Intercourse, PA. It is amazingly beautiful. We saw many hors

e and buggies pulling the Amish through town. The homemade baked goods are wonderful. We learned a lot about the Amish culture and enjoyed all the little antique and quilt shops. The girls will tell you the rest :-)

Howdie, it is Kylie here I am going to talk about the Amish Country! It was amazing and cool I want to

live their when I am older! We went to a tour on a horse and buggy and the Amish people wear clothes like back in the old days, like homemade dresses with apron

s and the men wear suspenders. The married men have beards but no m

ustaches. They don’t believe in electricity they have big farms and raise cows, sheep and horses I even saw a bull! One day we went to a Dairy F

arm we saw them milk th

e cows it was so cool th

ey did not use there hands don’t worry . We also saw baby cows,a cat and a dog well a

bulldog it was so CUTE her name was Samatha! The dairy farm had homemade ice cream and we bought the milk and it was the freshest and best milk I have ever had. We had homemade pie, whoppie pies and rootbeeer and all that! It was so AWESOME! My sister will now talk about

Phili!

Yo yo this Jadelyn talkin about Phili. It has been a lot of fun and historical. We saw the great Liberty Bell. You can see it

in the picture. We then went to Independence Hall where they wrote, adopted and signed the Constitution of the United States. I was unable to see it all because I had a little bug (threw up the night before) so I was a little weak. Once we had a big lunch I got my energy back. We then went on a double decker bus we saw where Rocky ran up the stairs in the movie.....so cool! Aunt Colleen told us the great places to eat so we ate at Dante and Luigis Italian restaurant. Yummy!! We also had cheese steaks on South Street. We meet a friend named Nikki at our campsite, she is a lot of fun. We went swimming, caught some guppies with a net and played in

the arcade. On our last day we went on a tube ride down the Brandywine river it was awesome! It took 2 hours and it was fantastic and relaxing. Bye for now and it might be a while until our next post because the campground in New York does not have Wi-Fi :( Love to all !

DC part 2 / Gettysberg

2009-07-10T19:00:00.000-07:00

Hey people, this is Jadelyn talking. I will talk all about the last few days in Washington D.C. The last few days where the more

depressing days. That is because

in the last few days we have gone to war

memorials and depressing museum

s like the Holocaust museum. In the Holocaust museum we saw pictures, models, and artifacts from the Holocaust. As y

ou can imagine it was very intense and sa

d for kids like Kylie and I. But to make it worse we w

ent to the Civil War, Vietnam War, and

the Korean War memorials. We also went to

the Arlington Cemetery. This is where President Kennedy and his family are buried. We saw his family plot and there is a flame that never goes out.

The best part of the cemetery is the Tomb of the

Unknown Soldier. There is a guard that marches 21 steps back and fourth guarding the tomb. We got to see the changing of the guard which happens every 30 minutes. It was very impressive! The guard had to yell at 2 different ladies who where not standing during the ceremony. To show respect he asked that everyone stood. Again we walked many miles and the final day we went to the Natu

ral History Museum. We also saw the I

MAX movie Night at the Museum Battle of the Smithsonian. It was great especially because we were there in Washington and had just seen so many of the things that are in the movie :) My favorite part of the museum was the fossils of the dinosaurs and sea animals, I did not like se

eing the present day animals stuffed I would rather see them in the wild or at

a zoo alive! Oh I almost forgot to tell you about the awesome shopping in Georgetown, it was like the best stores ever! Kylie and I got super cute book bags from one of my favorite stores...... JUICY!!!!

Hee Hee it is Kylie ! Today we just left the battlefield of the Civil War Gettysberg, Pennsylvania. We did an awesome tour of the battlefield and all over Gettysberg and we learned a lot about

the Civil War and about dif

ferent Generals and the 3 days of fig

hting between the Union and the Confederates and stuff like that. You can see that Gettysberg has a lot of history. It happened to b

e biker week in Gettysberg so there were m

otorcycles and people with long hair, weird beards and mustaches (like my dads) and leather clothes everywhere. They will have a parade on Sat. that will have 35,000 + bikers in the parade. We also went on a ghost tour this one was different from the one in Savannah. This time we went on a very scary one it was freaking me OUT! We went through the house where the only civilian was shot and killed during the fight at Gettysberg her name is Jennie

Wade and the house she died in was also on the TV show Americas Most Haunted. We think we got a ghost orb in our picture. We also went to a Cyclorama of the war and saw a movie! We also went to a very historical museum all about the war, slaves and Abe Lincoln we heard the famous speech by Lincoln at Gettysberg! We a

re now headed toward the Amish country in Lancaster. Hip hip cherry oh ~ Kylie

Washington DC part 1

2009-07-07T06:20:00.000-07:00

Yo yo yo it is Kylie

Beach and it was un-rea

l!! Well the one and only Was

hington DC is known for their fantastic memorials well I saw many today. I saw the most

wonderful monument the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial! OMG, we went to this bus called the ‘Circulator” GOSH big mistake! We thought it was a nice bus well it was old smelly and at the end I had SLOBBER on the back of my pants!!! Well every day now we have been going on the subway it is a lot better than the Circulator!! I just got a scary teen book The Lighting Thief it is good I have been reading it on the subway or we call it th

e Metro. In Washington

there is the Lincoln Memorial well we saw it and it was so BIG (I don’t know if you now

that Lincoln has huge eyebrows!) We went to the Air and Space Museum and the Zoo it was FREE I want to live in Washington someday! First the Air and Space Museum is all about air and space we saw so many different things like the first aircraft to land on the moon and a real space ship ........... COOL! Now the Zoo it was free and better than the ones that you have to p

ay for rad there was like all the

animals in the world! My personal fav was the Red Panda. Let me tell you, in just one day I worked my butt off. We walk A Lot and in the morning we ran to the Cap. because we were runni

ng late! That’s what my sis will talk........ Well good bye! :o

Hello this

is the new president Barack Obama!!!!!!!!!! J.K. this is Jadelyn from

Washington D.C. our state capital. Cool I know. I know Kylie said a lot of stuff but there is more. Like the amazing fireworks on 4th of July, we got th

e very best spot. We had 2 wait an hour and a half 4 them 2 finally start. It lasted a full 20 min. and we were not smart enough 2 video it so here is at least a picture. This was all on 4th of July. On the first day we

got here we went 2 a museum called the American History Museum( I think that is what it is called.) The day af

ter we went to the famous Fuddruckers A.K.A Fudds. It was so good and delicious. We even went 2 a Spy Museum in Chinatown, all you James Bond wannabees would LOVE this Museum. ‘‘Dun Dun!’’ The day before when we went 2 the spy museum we were walking and my daddy saw a good place 2 eat called Chop’t. So the da

y after we were in Chinatown and we went 2 Chop’t 4 Dinner. It was just salad and salad wraps and that is it.

But it ended up being SUPER SUPER GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday after viewing the beautiful Capital Building and the Library of C

ongress we

went on a DOUBLE DECKER bus. It was awesome. We can get on and off for 48 hours. It takes us all over Washington DC. We still have a lot more to see here in Washington DC. We will tell you more later! XO Jadelyn

Savannah Georgia

2009-07-02T18:33:00.000-07:00

Hey y’all, this is Jadelyn talking about Savannah, Georgia. It is crazy beautiful, there are weeping willows and, old houses and it is known as the most haunted city in America sspooookkyyyy!(: ~ {) We were there for 2 days(one half day and a

whole day.) Well, we also went on a history tour. It was pretty interesting,

the best part was when we rode on a horse wagon. On the first day on the way back to the campsite my mommy thought she saw a HUGE alligator in the middle of

the road, So we turned around and it sadly = { got hit by a car. All you facebookers might know it because right when we got 2 the campsite we all ran in Lloyd freaked out. My mommy went straight 2 the computer

and wrote it on facebook. My sis will tell you more!

Hi it is Kylie and we just got in to DC were you know the one and the

only White house is. Well yesterday my sis and I (and my Mom) ate 1 and a half pound of CRAB LEGS!!! It was very good and we also went to

their beach on Tybee Island it was fantastic!

Close by at the lighthouse Miley Cyrus was shooting a new movie but we couldn’t see her because

she was on break. Then for dinner we ate at the Paula Deen restaurant it was fabulous!

Then this morning we went fishing and I caught the first and biggest fish of the day then my dad caught two other fish one like mine and one of the hard fish well the (smart) fish. The person close to us was fishing and caught a turtle but it was still alive. Bye-bye!

Joy here, we also want to tell you about the Haunted Tour we went on in Savannah. Savannah is now known as the most haunted city in America and on the tour they took us by many known haunted houses and we even got to go in one. We took pictures and we think one picture shows an

orb??? This house was featured on a TV show on the Sci-Fi channel (we think it is called America's Most Haunted). On our way back from Tybee Island we went to Fort Pulaski. It is a National Park. We learned about the Civil War and how the Confederate's lost at Fort Pulaski and the General in charge was the first to free the slaves in

South Carolina before President Lincoln gave the order. A college student taught us about the uniform and gave us a musket demonstration. These muskets were used during the Civil War. We drove many miles again today and we are now in Washington DC.Zoran is an amazing driver, I have only driven I think a total of 2 1/2 hours the entire trip so we thank him for getting us to all these wonderful places safely. Again we are having

the time of our lives and we will

keep you posted throughout our journey! Love to all of our family and friends.

XO Joy Here is our poor friend "the alligator" :-(

WALT DISNEY WORLD

2009-06-30T07:49:00.000-07:00

Hi, yello, how is it going

well the main thing I want to tell you is hello it’s Kylie here again. We just got out of Florida we thought we were not going to go there but my wonderful dad had to driv

e 641 miles a total of 12 hours that is a lot of driving! After, we went to Disney WORLD!

I loved it, there are a bunch of awesome rides that my sis

will talk about, it even rained! Here is my sis to tell you everything else. Hello peeps, this is Jadelyn and I will tell u all about our great adventure 2 Walt Disney World. It was the best

thing ever! We went on a bunch of rides and saw real live

animals and even different countries. We went 2 the Epcot Center, the Animal Kingdom and the Magic Kingdom. At the Epcot Center our favorite ride was test track, it was like a real car going very very fast. Magic Kingdom is just like our Disneyland which we LOVE! The Epcot center has countries from all over the world. We walked around the world in just 5 hours :-) We ate in Japan and had delicious sushi (my fav) At the Animal Kingdom we saw real animals even Mike the (LSU) tiger’s brothers :-) My sister and I are so happy we were able to go to Disney World, thanks mom and dad! Next stop will be

Savannah Georgia, until then bye for now!

The Alamo to Mardi Gras

2009-06-29T09:14:00.000-07:00

Hey, this is Jadelyn the awesome ‘o’. Well over the past few days we have been 2 many places. Such as we went the French Quarters of New Orleans in Louisiana . It was the worst place 4 kids! All there was is bars, bars, and some more bars. That was only on Bourbon St. But what made the day was we went 2 Cafe Du Monde 4 some very, very, very, very, very GOOD BAIGHNETS and coffee (iced coffee of course because it was so HOT outside.) Around the next block there was a cute little store called "So Good." There I got some cute little diamond earrings. While on Bourbon st. we got Mardi Gras masks, they are so cool.

The day before we went 2 LSU, it is an awesome collage in Louisiana.

Their mascot is Mike the tiger. Well what U probabley do not know is that Mike the tiger is a real live tiger. It was so huge and cute ( and not tamed).

Aloha it is Kylie I’m going to talk about the Alamo. The Alamo was a very very big war Texas vs. Mexico well it was very uneven there were thousands of the Mexican soldiers and only a couple hundred soldiers for Texas. Many of you have heard of Davy Crocket and I think some of you would know this but he was in the Alamo for Texas. This was for Texas to have independence. We also went to the Riverwalk which was awesome! We had a delicious lunch and a bout tour. Well at LSU we went to “Chimes” the restaurant and we had ALLIGATOR, I’m talking alligator tails! Ryan and Jake’s Uncle Ted went to LSU and recommended this restaurant. Oh by the way LSU baseball team became National Champs a day before we arrived. Today we are going to Orlando, to Disney World in Florida!

Love, Jadelyn and Kylie

When inside the super big and large Caverns there were many attractions. Like the popcorn on the walls. We also saw bats and their poop. I too became a Junior Ranger like my sister. It was soooooo much fun @ the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico!!!!!!!!

From, Kylie and Jadelyn

Harry and Lloyd go to the Bat Cave

2009-06-23T09:05:00.000-07:00

Hi Peoples, We are in Carlsbad, New Mexico to see the Carlsbad Caverns. It was mainly smooth getting here. We left Saturday night at 10pm, slept at Wallmart for a few of hours, I got up at 3:30am. We had breakfast in Phoenix at the Waffle House and arrived in Las Crucas, New Mexico at 7pm. We had traveled 755 miles in one day! (we got 13 mpg and gas in Phoenix was $2.49 for diesel) We were ready to relax and go to bed, but Noooo. Our electrical system was shorting out and crashing. We tried to move to another spot, but our electric slide would not shut. We were stuck without air conditioning and a broken slide that would not close. All the people in the RV campground tried to help us. Got to bed late and hot, no AC. The girls were good sports. Lucky for us, there was a big RV service center next to our campground. John came out and

in an hour had the short circuit fixed and had the slide working. So stoked! Back on the road to Carlsbad. We arrived at 4pm. We went straight to the pool and did cannon balls. KOA campground had a great BBQ going, we had brisket with all the fixin's. Next we went to the famous "Bat Cave." The cave is classic, big and scary. At sundown, the bats start flying out. It seemed like an endless amount of bats flowing out in a whirlpool and whipping out to get bugs. On our way home, there were Tarantulas cruising around our campground.

The girls named Joy's parents jeep, Harry. Lloyd and Harry are from the non-Oscar nominated film, Dumb & Dumber.

Warm-Up Trip, Wakeboarding at Buena Vista

Yes, Kylie was making pancakes for the whole gang. Had a great time wakeboarding and relaxing last weekend. There were about 25 kids and 6 families having good times. Highlights include, campfire shows, Kylie's wakeboard skills (video is on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvgnHdmwp_E), daddy trying a flip on the skyski (luckily he was wearing a helmit), Booyaa eating the sprinklers, great food, and very cool people. Buena Vista lake is a grass lined lake just east of Bakersfield. We had some interesting weather the first night but it got beautiful. Lloyd (our motorhome) performed very well, no problems except feeling bad for the people in tents when it started raining. We practiced towing Joy's parents jeep and that went smooth.

We will be ready for the big adventure. Take off time is June 20th.

Cheers,

Zoran
