Idaho Trip Part 3 {Yellowstone}

After the boys took the kiddos to the White Clouds for a week while I worked and played, we got to take the whole family to YELLOWSTONE! 

Oh I {heart} Yellowstone!

You know I am a nature lover so it isn't a shocker that this is my idea of fun!. 

The kids had never been. Well, not that they remember, and boy did they enjoy it!

I just wish we would have had more time!

We went with my sister Hanna and  her family. We entered the park on the North Eastern side(?) and exited through Jackson Hole!

Warning: Picture Overload!

We ended our day in beautiful Jackson Hole, Wyoming and enjoyed some delish pizza!
I think this is something we are going to do every time we go to Idaho!
It was a perfect day with family!

Idaho Trip Part 2

Every year in August we go to Idaho. 

Part of the reason we go is the WHITE CLOUDS.

For years my dad has been going on 50 milers/ campouts up to the White Clouds. He use to take my brothers, the scouts, and friends. Then as my sisters and I all starting getting married it turned in to more of a Dad and Son-in-laws campout. So Beau every year LIVES for the White Clouds and takes the two oldest kids. 

Can I just say heavenly!

Seriously it feels as easy as pie to only have to look after two kids for an entire week. And as you can imagine my sisters and I have a blast together to while the boys are away with the older kids.

I was so proud of Beau for actually taking more than 5 pictures this year. And he managed to pull out his saweeeet photog skills. (If the head isn't chopped off....it is a sweet skill! HA!)

Obviously I think Caleb is the most handsome kid ever, but these pictures scare me! He got bit by something. Yikes!

The above picture literally made me tear up! I am thinking I might be going with them next year!

And here is the end result of a wonderful trip with dad....

 I asked both the kids what their favorite parts of the White Clouds were and they both said fishing...hands down!

I love that it is something that is talked about ALL year long at our house. The kids love this special time they have with their dad. And Beau LOVES being able to have a job that he can plan to take them!

I might just go with them next year....hmmmmm....

Idaho Trip Part 1 Continued

We also got to take the kids to Bear Lake! Man it is so relaxing. You can walk out in the water FOREVER before it even gets deep. The kids love going there and requested we go again this year.So it was nice to be able to go!

Here are a few of my favorite shots from Bear Lake!

And did I mention we got FRIED!? But it was worth it!

Idaho Vacation {Part 1}

Oh glorious Idaho! We love and miss you!

We jammed packed the 17 day vacation with all sorts of memories !

First stop...Ogden. 

The timing was perfect! My sister had just had her sweet little babe, Beth. So we got to see her in the hospital! And oh...is she precious!

Next Stop, my sister Becca and her fams house!

Three days, two nights, in heavenly bliss! 

The FOOD, oh, I can't get started!

Bec is an AMAZING CHEF, to put it lightly. She cooked us savory meals, for EVERY meal! LOVED IT! She has this Ginormous backyard with lots of chickens, rabbits, couple cats, and a dog! So you can imagine we spent a lot of time out back playing!

Lukas loved the water!

The kids loved playing with the chickens and rabbits.

 TEHE! Here is Uncle Allen getting them out!

The trampoline made for endless fun!

Kennedy stayed on this swing forever talking to herself!

Becca showing off her SAWEEEET SKILLS!

This picture is my fav! Caleb loved this bow n' arrow!

And every night we walked and got to see this view......

Man...wish I was back there again, walking and talking! I miss that!

Next up...Bear Lake!
