We spent most of our trip camped out at my brother Brice's house with his family: Morgan, Raelin and Ryker. A few days we slept at william's, with Angel and Liam. On the way home I asked the family what their favorite part of vacation was and loved these responses:
Ryanne: "Playing with baby Liam and talking to Angel".
Leah: "Raelin, Raelin, Raelin"!
Mom and Dad: "Staying up late and talking (laughing) with Brice, Morgan, William and Angel".
Mckay: "Helping Brice in his yard. He paid me real money"!
Elias: " I liked the dinosaurs".
It just goes to show that the best part of anything isn't fancy or new, it's family (Yes, Elias is family with the dinosaurs).
We love you guys!
I took way too many photos and loved capturing my favorite thing on camera: the kids' happiness and sense of wonder and delight. We did all the things vacations entail: travelling to new places; visiting monuments, parks and museums; staying up way too late; sleeping in until 8am (and that is really saying something around our house of early birds); eating candy; camping, hiking, splashing, exploring; and, most important of all, being with family.
Here are a few photos and captions. I will add more as I have time.
We went to Provo Canyon and played in the creek. We saw Bridal Veil Falls and Mckay hiked partway up to it. The water was freezing!
Ryanne loves this little boy. She couldn't resist playing with him while we visited them in Deweyville.
Daddy was like a kid at Christmas when he went to the BYU bookstore. He spent more money there than we spent on anything else (except for fuel).

The Bean Musuem at BYU. Leah was really impressed with this Lizard. She, of all the kids, loves animals--even creepy ones!

Glad you had a great time and were able to finish the trip this year. Anytime you are up here again, give us a call. We can meet at the park or something for a few hours. Or, have you over for dinner.
