Yellowstone National Park

We arrived at our campsite in the park after 9pm so we quickly set up tents and got in our sleeping bags. It was cold! Then, a few minutes later it started to rain--really hard! I was thinking that maybe the rain might keep the bears away. The next morning we drank lots of hot chocolate and pancakes before we drove out to see Old Faithful and hike to see the hot pots around the geyser.

Jackson Hole, Wyoming

On our way up to Yellowstone, we stopped in Jackson, with Russ and Rebecca and all the kids. We ate hamburgers, did a little shopping, and watched a shoot out. Emily was chosen to be part of it and danced with one of the actresses. Jackson is beautiful!

Emily's baptism

Emily has been looking forward to this day for so long. It was such a special day for her. Her good friend, Avery was also baptized, as well as Ethan, from her class at school. James baptized her and as he confirmed her, he gave her a very sweet blessing. We had lots of family come and celebrate the day with us and we had lunch in our backyard afterwards.

Cub Scout Day Camp

Nana and Papa stayed with the kids so I could spend a day with Curren and his friends at the Space camp in Millcreek Canyon. The boys loved doing archery, learning about the solar system, and the obstacle course. It was great spending the day with him doing things that 9 year old boys love.

Cousins

This summer was full fun family visits. We saw Nana and Papa Ellsworth in Utah and San Diego and cousins from Tennessee and LA, too. Sunday dinners at Grandma Falene's were so fun with everyone!
