Road Trip

We are back. Here is our vacation in photos.


We first visited the Grand Canyon. It was pretty grand.


Next stop: Salt Lake Temple


On our trip we visited 3 Temples. Salt Lake, Cardston (Canada), and Portland (Oregon).



Then we stopped off in Idaho for a few days to visit Phil's brother Adam and his family. We went to a little fish pond. Phil and Lizzy caught a minnow. Lizzy named it Minna.





Then we were on to Canada for the reunion.


Apparently Canada = mosquito's












Our view from the house Phil's parents rented in Canada:



5 men in a spa?


This is my favorite photo. I think that spa lost a foot of water

after Phil, his brothers and their dad got in it.

More fun in Canada:
Lizzy lost her tooth the 2nd night we were in Canada. She was balling and I asked her what was wrong and she said, "I'm just so happy!" It was one of the highlights of the whole trip. The Canadian tooth fairy found her that night and brought her a loonie.




A few of us:






Lizzy took this one:


FUN with the COUSINS!











They held hands most of the way.


Some fun we had in Oregon:




Grandma taught Lizzy to crochet.



Phil taught Lizzy to play chess.

Lots of reading.


We picked blackberries.

Then made cobbler.
Grandma & Grandpa took us to the lake on their boat.


Phil got some air.


Liz did the tube.And tried to water ski.





Spent some time with a few friends. Lizzy & Violet picked blueberries.




On our traditional trip to the carasol.

Awesome post! I love the pictures. I really liked the picture of Sam eating the Cheetohs... that cracked me up.

It was great seeing you even if it was for only a short time. :-) Glad I was able to meet your kiddos.
