CAMPING

We went camping over Labor Day weekend in the mountains just outside of Bear Lake. It was a blast! It had been a while since we'd gone with my family and it was great to finally do it again. It was a great trip, and we can't wait to do it again!

Hanging out next to the new tent my parents gave us for Christmas. It's a gem!

Miles liked hanging out on the picnic blanket, totally content as long as he had a ball of some sort...

Miles and Aunt Les
Ready for his first ride on the 4-wheeler!
We took it nice and S L O W . . .

Reading with Grampa...
Fast asleep...
Shooting clay pigeons... I only hit one. Pathetic...
Howdy!!!
We went into Garden City one night for some Mexican food...I think we were the smelliest bunch there.

Warming up in the trailer... The nights were COLD!

Nothing's better than sitting around a campfire with the ones you love :)

Miles enjoying his first taste of hot chocolate with Grampa...

Sunday breakfast- the traditional eggs, hash browns and bacon (which was already eaten when I took the picture). Oh yeah and if that's not enough, we also had pancakes :)

Miles was VERY excited for this particular 4-wheeler ride.
Sucking the thumb, eating an oreo, relaxing in the hammock...does life get any better?
Shootin' the pistol.

Playing in the tent.
Miles just loved the hammock. He about fell asleep every time he got in it!

FLORIDA

I'm late posting these pictures of our trip to Florida with Neil's fam, but I couldn't pass it up! The beach was awesome- relaxing, easy-going, and the weather was great aside from a few storms (which were actually really fun to watch). Miles had a blast, and just loved being around his cousins. The only thing bad about this trip was the week flew by too fast!

Jackson Lake

We got back from Jackson Lake last Saturday, and it was hard to come home! We had a great time, and there was always something to do. We hiked, biked, boated, waterskied...all around the most gorgeous scenery you can find. It was so much fun having Miles there. I'm pretty sure he's bored out of his mind now that we're home. Here are a few pics:

We swam at Moose Falls in Yellowstone, where the water is actually warm from the hot geysers upstream.

This was the view from the front porch of our cabin. Can you beat that? I think not.

Grampa bought Miles a cool camouflage hat! He actually really liked it.

Lounging on the boat. Miles wasn't a fan of the lifejacket...sorry, buddy.

Neil, Miles, my parents and I hiked to Taggart Lake, which lies just below the Tetons. It was beautiful. I just love those mountains!

Hangin' out on the porch...

The top of Signal Mountain... Awesome view!

Neil pulled Miles in his bike trailer all the way to the top of Signal Mountain. And he did it on his MOUNTAIN bike! Mountain bike + 20 pound baby + bike trailer + steep winding road = One Tough Workout!
