OLD FAITHFUL

One of our best days in Wyoming was a 14 hour excursion into Yellowstone National Park.  Unfortunately, our photos got lost and deleted somewhere between camera and computer, but thankfully, one of our other cameras got a few photos in too.
We were lucky enough to see Old Faithful blow two times.  The wee ones were on a quest to become Junior Rangers and get a badge.  The funny thing is after they took the junior ranger pledge and were 'sworn in', they got the badge and were more impressed with the safety pin being GOLDEN.  They had never seen a gold colored safety pin.  They thought that was the coolest!

JENNY LAKE

We had the best time in Wyoming. One of our favorite days was going to Jenny Lake in the Grand Teton National Park.

We took a ferry to the other side of the lake so we could hike to a waterfall and then to an overlook.

It was a beautiful day and a fun hike.  When we go back, we will definitely plan to spend a whole day there. We would have loved to stay longer and rent canoes and kayaks.

LACH AND I

loved everyday of our Arizona trip and traveling with my parents was a blast. The only thing that would have made our trip better, was if my man clan was with us. And of course, more desert time.To see all of our Arizona posts, click here.

MY MAN CLAN WAS UBER SICK

at the end of the trip.
We had to stay at two hotels and were so glad to make it home!
Even though there were lots of bouts of yucky sickness, there were still smiles on the ride home....
We had way to much diet coke and I might have gained 5 pounds while we were gone.

PS. See the hand position in photo 1? He would sit like that in my womb.....

SAN CLEMENTE - DAY 3

We had a booth at the Polynesian Festival....It was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
It's an annual event. Next year you have to go.

PS - A wee one may have barfed on me while we were listening to the incredible Hawaiian band and enjoying the atmosphere.

PPS - The barfing may have been with us for the rest of our trip and all the way home.

SOME OF MY MAN CLAN

and I got crazy splotchy, inconsistent sunburns due to expired sunscreen....
Boo hoo for us.
That will never happen again....

OH WHAT FUN IT IS TO RIDE....

These blokes of mine and this lass are drooling over that Meyers Manx.....

SAN CLEMENTE - DAY 2

Treasure Island in Laguna Beach was our destination today.
