Summer Vacation

Just thought I would share our fun week that we took. We drove down to Utah to visit my grandparents, Aunt, Uncle and some cousins. Then we took 4 days coming back through the Tetons and Yellowstone. The kids were great travelers considering all the driving we did and great campers (glad we have a tent trailer). Here is Lilly's 1st morning after waking up in the "tent". They slept through the night EVERY night which I was very thankful for!!

Getting to know grandma Great

And Papa great
We went to a huge dinosaur museum. It was very interesting for the adults and fun for the kids. Here is Hayden comparing foot size....not even as big as the toenail!!

Posing with the dinos

Getting to play in some sand

When we first went, I think Hayden was thinking we were going to see "live" dinosaurs and he was hoping to ride one (like he had seen on Diego), but this is as close as he got to doing that!! :)

Stopping for lunch along the way. Cheese!!!

Silliness in the car....I guess this was to be expected with the long hours and many miles that we drove!

We stopped at Fairmont Hotsprings and got to all ride the slide. It was great!! Maybe the next family reunion could be here?????? :)
