Somewhere over the rainbow...

Taken on a rainy day this fall...oh, how I love our house and the mountains!

So, visiting the zoo in the fall really is better!

Carson and Devin really are this crazy! When they play together they are in their own little world - and I am sure they don't realize that our world even exists, or is parallel to theirs...or is important...or that air or food are important...

And of course we could have told you that

Aubrey and Macie are the size of adult Orangutans...

This picture cracks me up about Ethan...I thought he would hate it and not let me post it - but he said "what is wrong with it" which makes me laugh even more!

Baby giraffe born a couple weeks before...same number of vertebrae as the adult giraffe...painful delivery I would think.

Val and I took the kids (minus Kaleb who apparently is too cool - and when I think about it, really isn't a kid) to Hogle Zoo over fall break. There were so many great animals out and about - we had a great time just strolling along, and minus the few minutes we lost Macie - all was good!

Buffalo, wolves and bears - oh, my!

I am a couple months late in posting Yellowstone pics - but better late then never.

This was a really fun trip taking our camper out for the longest trip yet. We stayed in West Yellowstone KOA and Stacey joined us for most of the time. We had beautiful weather and the kids really enjoyed looking at the sites, swimming and playing at the campground.

They didn't like the driving to and from the various sites - especially Ethan! He was so funny. Thank goodness for DVD players in cars, how did our parents do it w/o that??? This picture was taken after Yellowstone - when we went to Grand Teton. You can see how cold Ethan thought it was - but a beautiful picture of the family hiking up to the waterfall. Dave and I had gone to Jenny Lake when we were dating in 1991 - but at that time they didn't have a ferry across.
