July Trip

At the end of July we did a quick trip to Idaho, Utah and then back to Washington. We did have a purpose to this trip. We had two weddings we were invited to and we wanted to go to them. We drove to Idaho on a Thursday and we stayed with Bryan's Aunt and Uncle. It was really nice of them to let us stay there. Claire had a blast playing with Aunt Linda and Grandma Lois while Bryan and I attended the wedding. The wedding we went to in Idaho was for an Elder we got really close to while he was serving in our area. When we asked him what he wanted for his wedding present he requested the cornhole game we taught him while he served here.

As you can see we filled his request. This is a picture of Chris, Jasmine (Claire calls her Princess Jasmine) and their cornhole boards.

Claire was introduced to Chris' nephew Colton. They danced together over and over. It was so adorable to watch. Every time Claire sees the pictures of them dancing she always says "he is so cute."

Then we drove to Utah on Saturday. On our way to Utah we stopped in Preston Idaho so we could see all the Napoleon Dynamite sights. Here is Claire and Bryan at the high school.

We lucked out and got to see my nephew Cole play in a championship baseball game. Bryan was worried about watching it since he claims no nephew has won a game that he has been to. Well the curse was broken. Good Job Cole!!! We loved watching you. That evening (since it was the 24th of July in Utah) we got to do fireworks. Claire was so excited to do fireworks with her cousins. Here she is doing sparklers.

Then on Monday we went to another wedding. It was a beautiful wedding. Thanks MacKenzie and Chuck for inviting us. I just wish my mom and dad could've been there, but we are glad we were able to make it.

While we were at the wedding Claire got to play with her cousin Janey, Cortney and Aunt Shannon (Thanks guys for watching Claire for us). Here is Janey and Claire after going swimming in Janey's little pool.

On our way home to Washington I took this picture of my ankles. I lost them on our way to Idaho. I was holding onto water pretty good. My nephew loved to poke his finger on them and see how his finger could dent my skin.
