Western Trip

We just got back from our big Western Trip to see Andy's side of the family. It was a absolute blast and we where able to pack so so so much into the week we where there. We visited Utah, Idaho and Wyoming.

Annie ready for take off. Baby girl did great even though we flew right during her nap time!

Brian was beyond excited to fly on a plane. I joked with Andy that I didn't know what he enjoyed more, the plane ride or the actual vaca.

Airport fun! These kids did GREAT on the plane!

First morning in Utah. We didn't waste any time playing with cousins in Bountiful!

First time to Hogle Zoo!

Brian and his cousins looking at the giraffes!

Cousin Brooklyn holding Annie at the zoo.

The Zoo can't handle this crew. Brian really enjoyed his time with his cousins here.

Baby girl LOVED her first ride on the carousel.

The family reunion took place in Rexburg, Idaho. For the activity, she set up a Carnival. She had a adult size Slip and Slide, a rock climbing wall and wading pool, yard games, snow cones and cotton candy. These pictures don't even do it justice. Brian had a blast and I am so grateful for the time she put into to create memories for Brian and Annie to have.

Parade on the 24th of July! It was fun to spend it with cousins.

Late night games!

Watermelon daily in on this vacation!

Yard games with cousins

We went to Wyoming one day and spend the day in Jackson. We walked around town, went to a penny candy store and went to a western dinner. It was such a fun day.

Cowboy make scones before the western dinner.

Family show at Jackson Hole, Wy.

Penny candy!

Brian got at big kick out of the moose they had all around.

Brian and his older cousin Jacob.

Annie and her younger cousin Sadie by 6 weeks. These two went at it all week long. It was funny to watch them interact. Here is Sadie stealing Annie's breakfast.

We spent one evening at a water park and the kids loved it. 

These 3 where SO FUN to watch. Cousins Hunter and Cooper are close in age to Brian and they had a great time.

Bartholomew cousins. 22 in all. Brian is number 15 and Annie is 21.

Church!

Matching outfit for twin cousins.

We wen to Bear world one day and it was fun. Brian enjoyed watching the bears out the window.

More cousin fun!

They have a small petting zoo there and Brian got right up close with the animals. I could have watched him all day interact with them. Such a fun memory.

Baby girl wanted in too. She LOVES animals and gets so excited every time we are near them.

Protective older brother.

Ride time with Daddy!

We got this bikini given to us and I can't get over how cute she looks.

Movie night with his cousin.

On out last day, we asked Brian what he wanted to do and he said "Picnic at the Temple!" So we did just that. Fun times.

Andy's sister works for BYUI and took us around to the classrooms. Brian pretended to teach, be a doctor and work from an office. Fun times.

Last stop, SLC Temple.

What a fun trip!
