Temple Square

Elisabeth was fascinated by Temple Square. She loved seeing all the brides and their dresses. She kept calling them princesses and talking about getting married. She's growing up too fast!

Horsies

One of the kids' favorite highlights of our Utah trip was riding horses with Great-Grandpa.

Yellowstone

While visiting family in Utah last month we took a trip to see Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park. Here are some pictures of our trip.

Ethan did have a lot of fun on the trip, but for some reason he's incapable of smiling in pictures.

A herd of buffalo stampeded through a parking lot.

Here are Jason and the kids in front of two of the buffalo that came our way.

Sand

For some reason the kids have to leave the beach covered in sand. They used to just roll around in it, now they've discovered something new- burying themselves in it.

Andrew just likes to eat the sand. This was followed by him throwing up and us leaving.

Camping

We took the kids camping this past weekend in New Hampshire. Here are some pictures of our adventure.

Hiking in the White Mountain National Forest

A Perfect Summer's Evening

The perfect ending to a hot, sweltering day with no air conditioning is the beach. There are many reasons why I love the beach in the evening: it's not as crowded, it wears the kids out, and free parking. Yesterday was a hot day so after an early dinner the kids and I packed up and headed to Wingaersheek Beach (one of my favorite kid-friendly beaches).

Chasing seagulls is a favorite activity at the beach.

Climbing rocks is another favorite activity at this beach.

Cute Pictures

My friend Ellen took some cute pictures of the kids. Thanks Ellen! Here are some of my favorites.
