Katrina's Visit

The whole family had so much fun while Katrina was here. We went swimming, shopping and even to a baseball game. The girls loved going through Auntie Katrina's suitcases and finding all the goodies she brought! Thanks Auntie for coming!! Don't wait so long next time!

Modeling

We have been trying out our new SLR camera, here are some of the "Modeling Pictures" we got of the girls. Justin is getting really good!

4th of July

To end our family vacation, we stayed for the Jackson Hole 4th of July Parade. Allie says this is her favorite part of the whole trip. Can't help but love free candy thrown at you from a parade!

Jackson Hole, WY

We had a blast in Jackson Hole. We rode in the Stagecoach, and Allie kept saying "I can't believe I am in a stage coach like a real Cowgirl!" We went down the alpine slide which Brinley and Allie both love. They must have their dad's need for speed!

We also saw the show " The Ballad of Cat Ballou" at the Playhouse, which is a must see!! The girls loved it and Brinley kept yelling "Look a Barbie" to all the pretty girls! The next night we went and saw the Bar J Wrangers. If you ever get to Jackson Hole you HAVE to see them. They feed you a delicious chuckwagon dinner and then sing and entertain you. It doesn't matter how many times I have seen them, they are always amazing!!

Yellowstone

Our first extended family vacation was awesome! We flew from Indy to Salt Lake and met up with my parents, Auntie Toe (Camille) Uncle Crocodile (Hector) and Auntie Chooch (Michelle). We ate a yummy burger at Crown Burger, then headed up to Yellowstone. Poor Michelle didn't get to come because of school and we really missed her. We drove up through Pocatella, ID up to West Yellowstone where our lovely accomodations were waiting. We stayed in a fabulous double wide trailer that is so fitting for the town of West Yellowstone, MT.

For the next two days we spent lots of time in the Park. It was beautiful. I think Allie thought Yellowstone was going to be a big zoo with lots of animals. She was disappointed a bit, until a huge ELK jumped out in front of our car. Pretty impressive. Allie squealed and gaulked and when the elk had passed she said "Mom I was so excited I forgot to take a picture!" We fished, saw Old Faithful, watched the buffalo herds and ate lots of yummy, yummy ice cream. I caught a GINORMOUS fish, but alas I don't have a picture. It snapped my line at the shoreline while Justin and my Dad tried to take over my victory. Thanks a lot guys!

Stay tuned for our adventures in Jackson Hole!
