Wild Wild West

We just got back from Yellowstone, and we had so much fun! As soon as I can get my photos off of my evo I will post some for all to see. We camped in Mikes mom and dads pop up trailer for 2 nights and then used our free hotel nights for the other two. After leaving Yellowstone we took a quick stop at Hilary and Shawns in the cute town of Rexburg. It was the perfect vacation for a one family trip. The kids did phenomenal in the car even though most of the trip was spent there. We spent lots of quality time together and it was a great chance to reevaluate our little family and each member in it. I am newly inspired as a mom!

Here are the top things to remember about our trip!

1. Getting an old fashion picture taken, we were all cowboys and girls and we even captured maceys binki!!! It turned out sooooo cute! The kids had a riot.

2. Camping--our kids love the outdoors and kept themselves so busy.

3. Seeing Buffalo, we had to search high and low but we found a few. Mike and I might have even seen a wolf (kids were sleeping of course!)

4. The artist paint pots were great and a fun short hike for the kids. Boiling mud is amazing.

5. Best of all was the Rodeo we went to right outside of town....The bucking broncs were right in front of us kicking dirt in our faces it was soooo exciting. James was the star of the show chasing the rodeo clown around trying to get his dollar we were crying it was so funny. Then he starred in the dance competition and was sooo cute dancing with his little thumbs up and kicking his heels in the air. HA

6. We can't forget swimming in the hotel too. The kids went three times in two days. They love the water and call themselves little fish. They would jump off the side over and over again.

7. Hanging out with my sis and her hubby, seeing their life and eating dessert in the beautiful BYU Idaho gardens with Shawn and Hil as our own personal tour guides. Cousins laughing and playing is a happy sound!

8. I can't say enough how blessed we are and how lucky we feel to have had the opportunity to have such a good vacation. It really could not have been better if we dreamed it!
