Happy 4th of July!!! Well what's left of it at least, it's 11:30pm and I'm still up. I got home from a tiring 8 hours at work (time and a half baby!) at 3:30, layed down at 5:30 and got up at 7 so now I'm basically wired. Justin has to work at 5am so he's fast asleep. I watched fireworks from my 3rd floor balcony, so i got to watch peoples fireworks and I also watched New Yorks fireworks show on TV, loved the show but could have done without the music, i like watching fireworks in silence. Kinda bummed though because we were suppose to go home today to my parents house, but justin switched shifts to the 5am so there went that idea. On mom and dads property they have a pretty good sized hill that when at the top, it over looks Lake Lida. So from the hill top you can see all the rich people at their lake cabins shooting their expensive fireworks off.
This may be my last blog for at least two weeks. On Tuesday morning, Justin and I are leaving for our yearly dinosaur dig in Havre, Mt. This link goes to our dino dig site, unfortunately the pics are old so Justin or I are not in any of them but it will give you a good idea of what we do. This will be our 6th year going, and probably our 4th year as staff. The actual camp doesn't start until next weekend i think but, there's always a lot of set up work to be done and we're the closest staffers and we drive so we can get out there a lot quicker than our California and new york friends/staffers. When we get back I'll definitely have to post a few pics so you can see just how beautiful the badlands are.
For wedding presents, we received a new sweet tent and two new sleeping bags, so it will be fun to try all this new stuff out. In the middle of the week sessions we will be back in town and have internet access so hopefully i will try to post a quick word on how things are going but no promises. I hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July.

Hey girl! Have a great time at your Dino Dig! Get some good use out of your new tent and sleeping bags! For Danny's B-day like 3 yrs ago we got a backpacking pack and all the backpacking gear we would need, still unused (I have this thing against bugs so wasn't going to go camping in Georgia)! Though it did house his clothes during a few roadtrips....and somehow the camping soap got opened and leaked all over it so it has been cleaned. :P We got some sleeping bags but they were pretty crappy ones, used once when we moved into our first apt. and then when Adam visited us, they were left w/his dad and we will get new ones when we decide to go again, plus the old ones didn't fit into the stuff bag for compactness!
:) Kate :)
Have a great dig! I look forward to seeing the pics when you post them.
