Cute pictures of Eric posing for the camera!
Pictures were deleted, batteries were charged, and of course the camera was the one thing that didn't make it into our car! So, these are the only pictures we got...We decided to celebrate our anniversary a day early because Justin didn't have work and he did on Wednesday. We had a wonderful time! We went to Watford City, about an hour away, and ate lunch at a very nice park that had a wood fort theme, and then went over to the pool where Eric braved the water! He actually ran through and under the shooting water! He also kept purposely falling into the water. =) Around 4 pm we left for the North Theodore Roosevelt National Park. It was only a 15 min drive and Eric sleep until 6 pm. We got out at every pullout and read the signs, so it took us until 6 pm to make it to the the end of the 14 mile road. It was amazingly beautiful and there were a lot of trails, which we didn't take, throughout the whole park. We were able to see some huge, single buffalo, and deer and her fawn, some interesting birds, and a park ranger on a beautiful horse. There were some amazing land formations and you could see the different layers of the earth throughout the park. At the end of the road there was a path to walk up to a huge cliff that overlooked the missouri river and it was breath taking. I was hoping the whole trip to come across a herd of buffalo with babies and walking back to the car to turn around, there they were! It was great! On the trip back we stopped at another path that took you to the edge of the cliff where there was a cool building, kinda like a gazebo, from bake in Roosevelt's time and on the way there I come across this huge snake that was about 4 feet long, and my heart almost stops because my baby was running towards me in his shorts and flip flops and at the entrance of the park I had read something about rattlesnakes! I yell to Justin and he grabs Eric, who starts screaming, not appreciating that we are potentially saving his life! =) I was a little comforted when Justin gets up to me and the snake still hasn't moved and he asks if it is dead, but it soo wasn't, because it was gone when we got back! My guess it that it wasn't a rattle snake, but you never know... I loved the park and when we were done we went back to Watford City where we ate and a steakhouse called Outlaws. It was pretty good and kid friendly. Since we were celebrating, we got an appetizer of loaded potato skins, that for fabulous, steak dinners, and a pazooki for dessert. The food was great, but my favorite part was watching Eric eat the pazooki! He dug in and ate more than Justin and I! It was awsome! I didn't mind because he ate a lot of his dinner and the potato skins... On the way home we got to see the sun setting, and it was my favorite color...Pink! It made the beautiful countryside seem magical! It was a perfect day!
