Our trip West (in no particular order)

We had a marvelous trip West this summer. The kids and camper held up and we are so grateful for the adventure. Here are some of the highlights.
Mammoth Hot Springs; Northern Yellowstone


We just kept going up and up and up

but the scenery was stunning and so worth the drive

It alternated rain and sun so we were a little bit worse for wear but Mammoth Hot Springs was terrific non the less.

What a view

Lily's baptism was so special.  We had a great evening made better by so many of the people that we love that came to help and support us.

Photos

 A few misc. pictures of the Kids.  I am hoping that I can take their pictures and save the trip and hassle of the professional photographer.  I got some good ones, but printing is another issue....

Dennis's Wedding

 I'm finally getting around to posting some of my favorite pictures from our trip to Utah for Dennis's wedding.  It was a wonderful occasion and a we had a grand time spending time with family.  We are so happy for Dennis!  The reception was tons of fun as we got to see people we hadn't seen for years.  My favorite part of the trip though was having Dennis and Beth both take the microphones at their reception and talk about their feelings for eachother.  It was touching and tender and completely beautiful.  Dennis spoke about how he and she had run, swum, and biked hundreds of miles and that she had never left his side.  Beth talked about becoming dependent on someone you love.  It was beautiful!

 This was my favorite family photo.  Gosh, I love those folks!


 Poor Dennis.....I feared that the boys would drop him.  Kenneth stole his cell phone.
Karen is sure pretty!
I wish we had a closer photo of the group, but this one does the trick.  It was so nice to see everyone.  It's too bad we don't live closer!
