Family Outing

Went to Giant Springs with Mike's 'rents over the weekend. Here are some of the shots we got .

Vessel rolling down the hill.

Vessie looks like he's growling or something.

Feeding the humongous fish little pellets.

Big mama fish lips.

Whoa, fatty!

Kickin' it in Canada

Spent some time across the border over the weekend. Here are some shots from the momentous trip.

Stopped at a convenient store. This slurpees straw was HUMONGOUS. Talk about brain freeze, baby. (p.s. good thing I'm not driving here...I got pulled over for speeding and the Mounty asked for my "doo-dads." No bueno.)

It's always fun to try some foreign candy.

The inside. What is it with injecting candy with air?

Vessel just keepin' it real in his little chair.

Me in front of the Cardston, Alberta temple.

Temple by itself.
After attending the temple, our friends the Jensens took us to a cool park in Lethbridge called Henderson park. Here is their son with Vessel.

Kizzia and Vessel.

Cool shot of the lake.

Bates and Jensen families.
The treehugger.
Vess throwing stones into the lake.
Daddy and Vessel on the dock.
I had to try this crazy toy on the playground. It just spins you around and around SO FAST. I got motion sick. Ugh.
Me and Vessie on this cool swing. This little girl in the background wanted to push us.
Okay, here are some sepia shots that I took.

Vessel with his feather that he found. He wouldn't let go of that thing.

Throwing rocks into the lake.

Vacation

Took a 6 day vacay down to Utah and Idaho to see family and friends. Here are an enormous amount of pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Taken from the moving car.

Vessel asleep in the car. I love his neck waddle.

In Spencer, Idaho (Opal Town)

Vessel LOVES heavy machinery.

Famous St. Anthony Sand Dunes

Oops. Went a little too far off the side of the road and got stuck in the sand.

Sparklers.

Our dog, Kaiza.

This nest has been on top of the Silver Bridge for as long as I can remember.

Steph bought us breakfast.

Vessel and cousin Aiden.

Jenny, Mike, Vessel, and Aiden.

Kenna and Jamie

OMG. Anne's kid was SO funny at the BBQ.

We brought more stuff home with us than we thought. Our car was packed with food storage buckets, dry goods, spices, and lots of other stuff from our trip.

4th of July

And I got to visit Mom's headstone. I miss her.

We had a fun trip, but it was nice to get back "home."
