California- Part 1 & Wyoming

Start at the bottom of this post. It'll make sense.

This little stinker started to crawl just a little while we were in Wyoming. We sure had a great time with dad!

Dad tying the 4 wheelers down.

Four-wheeling in the mountains. Maia fell asleep on the way up the mountain. I have no idea how she was able to do that.

Campfire!

If you work in an auto shop, this purse is for you!

These were a steal!

Oh, this belt? "Chasin Grace" Of course! How much? Oh about $475.

Xochi and I took a trip ALONE to Jackson Hole. What did we do without any children? Embraced the cowgirl life! (or just tried on a few things we fell in love with, and laughed a few times). "Being a cowgirl is expensive!"- Xochi

Hiking back, throwing a couple rocks, and looking for more berries.

Cousins

Cute Santi

At the spring.

Hiking to Intermittent Spring. It was gorgeous! AND, we got to pick real, wild (and safe to eat), fresh black berries.

Santi and Marin gathering nature for "Nature Scouts"- a fun program created by these two creative cousins for those interested in learning more about nature. Maia almost earned all her badges!

Grandpa grandpa (that's how Maia distinguishes between Joe's dad and my dad. This is my dad- grandpa grandpa.)

Swimming in Grandpa's pool.

Maia and Abram watching "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" on the big tv. Maia's dream come true.

On our way to Wyoming, Maia had to strap in Buddy or "Budders" (formerly know as "Snow Puppy" or "Snow Pups") while she went potty on the plane. We want to make sure Buddy is always safe.

A MANDATORY trip to Rite Aid for some Thrifty's ice cream. MMMmmm!

We went to the beach with grandma and cousins! YAY! A nice beach!! Maia loved holding grandma's hand.

HI! Thanks for following instructions. I am too lazy to rearrange ALL these pictures so we will begin here!

The girls and I were able to go out to California for 3 weeks in August. We had so much fun seeing all the family again. We spent about 4 days in California and then spent a week in Wyoming with my dad, and then back to California for the remaining week and a half. We did all sorts of fun stuff. {Scroll up to see the explanation of pics}
