Vacation

Our vacation this year was packed with activity. We usually drive this in one day but split it up this time which allowed for some extra time to stop at Martin's Cove. We have passed by this spot so many times and have never stopped.

We thought we would give Zach some extra practice in before his Pioneer Trek at the end of the month.

Next we went to a family reunion on Kevin's side.
Lexie winning money in the traditional duck race down the creek
Kevin making homemade sausage the Italian way (the only way)
Carson catching a fish in the pond.

Fireworks at Grandma's gets all the boys big and small excited....

Spending the day at Great Grandma's Ranch taking pictures and searching for star rocks and bullet rocks.

During our trip we did several more things like checking out the local swimming pool, an alpine slide, Mount Rushmore, hiking, and tubing the creek which resulted in this.



a broken toe, but I would do it all again.

We love visiting Kevin's family there is so much to see and do and loved ones to do it all with. Thanks for the great visit!!!

It's funny I didn't notice the broken toe at first. All I saw were fun glitter toes! Hope it gets better quickly.
