Summer Fun

So, my friend and I packed all 5 (my 3 her 2) of our kids up in my mini van and drove to Idaho.

Weston and Reis in the middle seats. Reis is still only like 17lbs soaking wet, so she road rear facing the entire trip. What a trooper.

Blyss, Mina and Brody in the back. Mina had to sit between 2 car seats. I think she might win the trooper award!!!

Hello Utah!

Man was I blown away by the beauty. We stayed in South Jordan , UT, so I could take the kids to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple tour. It was so beautiful. The boys loved the ox around the baptismal font.

Idaho is so green. It too was so beautiful! This is there garden!!! It was so big you could get lost or at least play a great game of hide and seek

I loved the stone fire pit... so did the kids.

We camped out in tents and the kids thought that was fun too.

The kids just played and played

and played some more. They loved getting lost in the raspberry patch and eating raspberries all day!

Brynlie loved the kitties!!!

She too just played and played!

Brody surprised me! He really grew up while we were gone. He was helpful and cooperative. He did what I asked and went to bed well. We became a good team on our adventure and I will be forever grateful.

Hello Montana and Wyoming!

O.K. so we were only in Montana for about 5 minutes!!!

We went to Yellowstone National Park!

The trip really made me grateful for the creation... our earth is so amazing!

We saw geysers

and the orange stuff is bacteria

We saw Old Faithful and the cool Inn my Dad worked in as a kid.

We saw Bison and an eagle's nest

We saw water falls, chipmunks and moose.

We saw a lot of one another. We missed our Daddy. We are grateful to him for making our trip possible. It was a amazing. I got to reflect and become a better person and mother.

A special thanks to Rosanne for knowing us women could "put our shoulder to the wheel" and we did!!! And too her family for feeding us, teaching us, and loving us!!!
