Wyoming

We had a family reunion in Wyoming this summer with my family, we met the Colorado boys and all of us were there except Eric (who is in Texas selling home security systems with his family, they will be home soon!) We camped in these old-in-day cabins that were so cute and went fly fishing/swimming at the stream down the road. This was a trip full of mishap: my Dad's truck broke down half way there (with all the food/luggage), so they had to drive back home and get the RV to bring everything to us the following day. Then we went up this mountain with the most beautiful view and on our way up the RV broke down (with ALL the kids and most of the adults), so we were stranded with no vehicle and it started pouring. To top it off most of us were sick, really sick, vomit stuff....ugh. But, we still had so much fun hanging out, playing games til the wee hours of the night, eating yummy yummy food, and adventuring all over WY. We also celebrated Emma's and my birthday's while we were there!!



Elisa and Mom decorated these cute shirts! It wasn't until after we got home that we found out that this symbol is identical to the symbol for 'anarchy'. So it is our big joke our family will be 'anarchy forever'!!





















Master chef!



Watchin' the rain.


Love Grant's scruff!

Fly fishin'






So pretty and fun!


Favorite shot of my Daddie!

We were the only ones that got to the top of the mountain, so sad.




We should have kept them in here the whole time, they loved it so much. :)

Helping G'ma and pa

Ben's parents got called to be mission Presidents in the Indiana, Indianapolis mission for 3 years starting in July 2007. We all fixed up their house a bit (paint, sprinklers, AC, furnace, ya' know, the things you always plan on doing but never have time or money to do) for the new renters. It is amazing how much STUFF you can accumulate in 25 years. (Ben and I already have vacation plans for the time when my parents move out of their house, whenever that is.) Needless to say there was a lot of packing and dumping and storing. While we were at it we also put in Doug's (Ben's brother) sprinkler system.
