Pictures galore

Well, I didn't post all 700 pictures, but I came close. It was a wonderful trip.

Traveling to Utah. The girls liked the plane better than Ryan. Bridal Veil Falls
JW & Alli doing dishes
Getting ready for family night
Nikki & Eliza
Bear & Wolf Discovery Center
A bald eagle with her baby
Geysers
This was a whole herd of bison that were trying to cross the road. Pretty neat.




Waiting for Old Faithful to blow!

This is cute, but I like the one Emma got of Nate better. :)


The best travelers

Lexi & Brenna



Beautiful!




Gosh, these things are big!

My poor sick, sunburnt baby enjoying the beauty.


She looks like a girl on a mission.





We got stuck in road construction, so Mike and Lydia jumped out of the car to get their feet wet in the freezing cold, rushing river where an elk could have jumped out the bush and gored them any minute. So we see who teaches Lydia to be so daring. :)
We were in the car A LOT. The girls took over 400 pictures to pass the time. Here's a little taste.
Sherrie as our singing time leader
Spencer and Jake had all the kids' attention with their puppet show.


Can you see the moose? I was happy she was on the other side of the river from us.
Spencer was so great hiking with his little posse of girl cousins. They love both Spencer and Nate.

Brenna and Luke were cute little buddies.
Kellee brought a whole bag of craft supplies, and I think the pipe cleaners were Hannah and Emma's favorites.


Dance party!



The Bass Gang

Hannah and Nikki LOVE Grandpa Robbins' trains. He has a whole room in his basement filled with tracks. It's really cool. Ryan loved them, too, but he wasn't allowed near them.

Provo's Freedom Festival Parade on the 4th
We had a lot of fun visiting with the Littles. JW & Gary told their sailing story that gets us laughing so hard it hurts.

Chuck & Eileen
It was so hard to get a picture of the babies together. Here's Ryan and Wyatt -- kind of.
And Baby Ammon is just the most easygoing kid I've ever seen. Love him!

Ryan is just about opposite. Love him too!
Jayden, Hannah, and Nikki put on the funniest little show for us. It was so creative and funny!



Wow, this is a special picture considering how much this baby loves his mama.

At the Robbins' family picnic
Whitney, Gabe, and Nikki
With Grandma Geneil.
The Robbins
Nate's nephew, Matt
Swim party!




It will be 10 years this September since Nate and I were married in the Mt. Timpanogas temple. His parents can see the temple from their doorstep. We tried to get some good pictures, but at the end of our trip it was kind of hard.




Back in NC, but the luggage took FOREVER to get out on the baggage claim. What troopers these kids are!
This is my naked baby because he blew out his diaper minutes before takeoff (Nate and I really don't fit in the airplane bathroom at the same time. It was pretty comical and gross trying to get things cleaned up), and no I didn't have an extra outfit in the carry-on. I had extra clothes for me and Nate, but not the baby. Really smart.

We're excited for our next vacation, but I'm glad there will be a couple of years for me to rest up and get ready for the next one. This one wore me out!

How fun! I am so sad we missed the big Bass/Little party (although we did have a lot of fun with your brother and fam last week!) I love all of the pictures. I'm feeling worn out after our trip, too, but it was lots of fun. Love you guys!
