We're back from our family vacation, and it was a gooder. The perfect way to end off the summer. Our second half of the trip was so hot and we spent alot of time outside. Ben and Andrea have the best backyard for kids.
One evening, we took Carter, Hayley, and cousin Cooper to the Dinosaur museum. It was a hit. They absolutely loved it and walked from one exhibit to the next going, "WHOA!!!" and "HOLY SMOKES!!!!" (or "Holy Moly Smokes", as Hayley says it).
Carter's face in this one cracks me up. He is such a goofball.
We went to the Chuck-a-Rama buffet - so good.
While we were there, Andrea and I snuck a picture of these old men. They were sitting at the table next to us and we thought it was so funny. They were just having the best "Guys Night Out" ever! Except it was at Chuck-a-Rama. In the middle of the afternoon. I don't know why, but it was just so cute.
I also got to visit with my friend from grade 6 (Hi Ashley!) from when we lived in Pleasant Grove. It was so fun seeing her and catching up. I went and visited my old stomping grounds in Pleasant Grove and it was kinda fun to see my old house, school, etc. Brought back some memories.
Boondocks was super fun. A "Chuck E. Cheese on crack", as Andrea describes it. So true.
On the way home, we stopped in Idaho Falls for a little break from driving.
The falls and Temple were so pretty, but it also brought back memories of when we broke down and were stranded there in 2002 on our way home from the Olympics (Maybe I'll share that story at a later date. It's still to painful - Kidding).
On another pit stop, Carter asked where we were and we told him, "Montana". Then he goes, "Oh... Does Hannah live here?" Wow, even a 4-year-old boy knows who she is. This chick is way too popular.
So there you have it - another successful summer family vacation! I'm so glad I have a husband and kids who are just as eager to go on these adventures as I am. I couldn't have picked a better family to be stuck with.
And thanks again to the Whiddens for being awesome hosts. We had a blast.

Glad to see you had a great time. It is always nice to take a trip down memory lane.
The trip looked like it was fantastic. I love your shadow picture--such a sweet idea.
Okay, what is it with taking pictures of your poor son with his swim trunks barely hanging on? Seriously, the last three pictures you've posted of him with his trunks on are rivaling that picture of David Beckham (don't act like you don't know which picture I'm talking about)! Please, buy that boy a belt!!
Okay "Anonymous", you try keeping shorts pulled up on a kid who has a waist so small I can close my hands around. And wearing a belt with swimming trunks?? C'mon now, how would that look?
I didn't know what David Beckham picture you meant, but thanks to Google, now I do and... hubba hubba!
Haha, kidding. Love ya "Anonymous" - It's about time you made a comment!
