When Grandma Comes to Town

(Grandpa too!)
I love my daddy!
After girl's camp we took advantage of the fact that my mom was here! We went to Liberty Park in SLC and had fun playing the sun and water all day. 
Patrick is...hum... cautious. So I was pretty proud of him for doing the farris wheel with me.
My dad came up after that and all of us including my family, my brothers family, my little sister and her friends, and my parents, went to Rexburg. My brother and his family and my little sister are going to school up there. We had a birthday party because there are 5 birthdays within a week and then 3 more, plus a new baby this year, in July. Holy cow! Every family has that month and ours is July.
terrible picture but you get the idea, lots of birthdays
After 2 days in good old Rexburg we went to Yellowstone. Believe it or not, it was my first time. We enjoyed our time up there and the deer, elk and bison. I have to admit I'm not too sorry we didn't see a bear. We were in tents and I not only had my babies with me but there were 4 other little ones under the age of 3 there. We had a great time. I only regret not teaching Patrick about it before we got up there. He is really into volcanoes right now. But we taught what we could and watched a movie about it when we got home.

"Let's hike nature!" Patrick
Patrick won FBI stuff in bingo! He loved it!
Jessie loved the dirt! And I did too as long as she stayed entertained in the same spot for more than 30 minutes.
We saw a monster truck on our way home and it was the perfect cherry on top to a great vacation. Unfortantly, I couldn't find the camera under all the rubble (aka all of the camping gear). And after 2 weeks of sleeping on a air mattress, I'm so grateful for a bed. I love my bed. Good to be home.
