Blogging anyone?? Yellowstone

Hello blogging world, I'm sorry, but I have been sooo horrible at blogging. I'll try to make up for it though. So back in July our family went to Idaho to see Jordan and Amanda and to take a side trip to Yellowstone while we were there. We had a great time. Here are a few pictures of Amanda's horses. They were pretty sweet. They are HUGE!! It was nice to finally go up and see her family and the small town of Blackfoot. Thanks Jord and Amanda!!



Sorry, it's not the greatest picture.After we met Amanda's family, we drove to Idaho Falls. It was such a beautiful day!
Sorry, but my picutres kinda jump around. We went to Jackson Hole and rode the ski lift. I can't remember the name of it though.
I LOVED the Tetons! Gorgeous!!!!

It was remarkably beautiful everywhere we went!

There's a funny story behind this picture. So we were just walking around looking for sites, etc. And while we were walking around we saw this sign that said "Natural Bridge 1/4 mile" So we decided that would be pretty cool. Probably an awesome site and a short easy walk. So we started on our trek, not really knowing. Well, we kept walking and walking!! And WALKING! We finally asked some other people on the trail if we were even getting close. And they said we were. So we kept on walking.....yeah it was NOT 1/4 mile to the "Natural Bridge" We could tell that we were getting really close and we hoped for some grand, amazing site since we'd walked not only 1/4 mile but FOREVER. And we finally arrived........
We weren't all that impressed... lol

Not the greatest picture, but this one was just off the side of the road, and I mean right on the side.

I was amazed at how beautiful everything was!!!

Wating for Ol' Faithful :) Dad and I were saving seats for Logan and Mom...and some Asians just came and basically sat down on me...so we didn't end up sitting all together as a family. lol I would have tried to explain we were saving seats, but I'm pretty sure he didn't speak English. And when Old Faithful went off....he snapped about 1,000 picutres.

Jackson Hole

These pictures are from the ski lift. (Sorry they are out of order.) At the lift they had three activities you could do. A scenic ride on the lift, minature golf, and this ride...you went on a smaller lift and rode down on these things...

Logan

I wasn't able to ride on account for my broken/newly fixed finger and I didn't want to chance hurting it. Plus it looked kinda bumpy. So Mom was kind enough to stay behind with me and we made sure we got pictures of everyone else. (Which actually wasn't very easy...)


Minature golf

Scenic Lift (Doesn't he look so happy?) Those small figures down there (the pink and yellow dots)....Mom and Dad

We switched riding partners on the way down.
This is a lake in the Tetons...so clear and BEAUTIFUL!! Such a pretty vacation.

It's May.....where is the sunshine and warmth??? ;) It was warm enough one weekend for the boys to play some horse shoes.

However, when it's warm enough to play horse shoes....it's warm enough to do yard work. We spent some time moving the cobble rocks to line the bank of the canal. Our attempt at making piles of rocks for the water to roll off of, to make water sounds...and even though they don't look very big in the picture...they are decent size. We also burnt the weeds. And now (a few weeks later) the bank is covered in bright green grass, instead of dead stuff.
Our back-door neighbor's fence broke... A microburst came through and just blew the fence in all different directions!!
Sorry this is kinda short and not very imformative...but atleast I blogged :)
