Our Summer Vacation

It is Sunday afternoon, and we just got home from our 26 hour vacation. We went up to Star Valley for Dena and Johns reception. As we were getting ready to go out of town, I took Brock and Carter to get haircuts. The lady cutting Brock's hair asked if we were doing anything fun today, and Brock said "We're going on vacation!!" I figure I should take advantage of the days when we can call a road trip a family vacation. The drive up was awesome, and we made it all the way there without hearing the kids fight. We did have a good selection of DVDs to keep them entertained, though. We stayed at a condo in Afton, Wyoming. It was so great to have some time together as a family! We got up this morning and tried to teach the kids how to skip rocks in the pond out the condos back door. A little more practice, and I think Brock will have it down. Carter and Tyson were content to see how big of a rock they could find and make a huge splash. We drove home through Idaho- past Bear Lake, then down through Logan. It was a little bit longer that way, but it was fun as well. This time the DVD player stayed off, and Brock and Carter looked for wildlife. Brock was really upset that we didn't see any moose- maybe next time... The kids made it until we were 10 minutes before we got home until they started fighting. What great family memories!!
