Road Trip 2018: My fam

While Whitney was having a blast at BYU, the rest of us went out to Roosevelt to spend some time with my parents and Destiny.

I was the only one who got to meet baby Paul
before this, so everyone else got the treat of 
snuggling with this cutie patootie.



Babies are so fun!
Especially when you can give them back to their moms. :)

We spent one day out at Starvation Reservoir.

We rented a kayak and a stand up paddleboard.
It was a beautiful day and we had fun out on the water.

Several years ago, my parents took me and the kids hiking
at an amazing place in Dinosaur National Monument called Harper's Corner.
I've wanted to go back many times, but it's about a two hour drive from
their house, so after driving across the country, I'm not usually up for it.
But this year, I was determined to make it happen.
Andrew had to work, but the rest of us hit the road.


It was a fantastic hike!
Just as good as I remembered.

The views are amazing!

The Green River and Yampa River 
flow into each other in this area.

Look how little the girls were last time we went!

You hike out to a precipice where there are varied views all around.
Beautiful.



After a beautiful hike,
we got into some trouble on the drive home.
Flat tire.
And our lug wrench didn't work...
And the problem with being WAY out in the boonies,
our phones had NO RECEPTION.
Agh!
Thankfully, a park ranger drove by and helped us out.

He ended up having to call AAA for us.

They sent out the big guns.


And they had the tools we needed. Yes!

Cousins

Sillies

Singstar!

Every summer, Missoula Children's Theatre comes
to Roosevelt and they put on a play in a week.
They have auditions on Monday,
rehearse throughout the week,
and perform on Saturday.
Both Q and O got parts in The Pied Piper this year.
Q was a mouse and had an adorable line about
some fancy cheese name that I can't remember right now.
Camembert?

Olivia was a villager.

Since we were going to leave town on Friday,
the directors let us come to a dress rehearsal.

The girls did SO good and I was so happy we got to watch them.

Last minute snuggles before we left.

Care Bear doesn't have far to go before 
she'll catch her Gigi in height!

More cousin pics, with Trini this time.


It always goes by too fast,
but I'm so glad we got to spend some time with my parents
and Destiny and her family.
