Wyoming 2010

Last week we were in Alpine, Wyoming for a family reunion. We spent one week with just us siblings and dad. On Saturday, dad's brothers and sisters came out to the house for a big reunion. We had a good time being together. We did some fun things including swimming, boating, four-wheeling, alpine slides, feeding horses, going to the Bar J for dinner and a show, playing on the playground, wagon rides, and playing in and around the house. It was so beautiful to be in the mountains and away from the city (and a lot of other things). We enjoyed the break. Here are just a few pics of stuff we did:

Swings are always a hit with Maia.
Swimming in the pool.
So cute.
Taking a break from the boat and eating lunch in the forest with cousin Andi.
Boating. (We just went along for the ride while everyone else did some wake boarding, skiing, and tubing) Maia liked it because she got to have some "spicy" (a.k.a. soda).
Chris taught me how to drive the four-wheeler. Maia fell asleep in Chris's arms.
Before Maia fell asleep.
Abram, Lyla and Maia going for one of many wagon rides.
Feeding the neighbor's horses.

This is a soap pump in the upstairs bathroom. I was helping Maia wash her hands when she saw the soap pump and said, "The bear is reading the scriptures!"

YOU STAY CLASSY, WYOMING!

Summer?

This "summer" hasn't really felt like summer. We have had over 30 days of temperatures under 80-degrees. I'm really hoping that fall/winter ends up feeling like summer. This past weekend was in the 80s- I think.

We went to my cousin Jeanette's wedding celebration and took a picture of just us two. We haven't had a picture of just us in a long time. It was about time and we were all dressed up.

Yesterday afternoon was gorgeous. It was so fun to be outside. Mom was planting some flowers and Maia decided to help her. She had a blast in the dirt. Mom was very patient and Maia was in heaven.





This is our exciting summer.

This coming weekend we are heading off to Wyoming for a week for a summer vacation. The weather in Wyoming just might be prettier than it is here.
