We were On the road again to sneak in one last summer vacation before school begins! We started off by visiting family, and than waking up super early to go to the Days of 47 parade in Salt Lake, We got there early and set up our spot and 30 minutes into it Dillon was asking if we could go, and than 1 1/2 hours later we were ready to go, so we left a little early, sorry but a 3 hr. parade is just way to long!! We met up with my sister and did a little shopping and lunch! than we were on our way to stay with the Doty's in Idaho. We had so much fun enjoying the nice weather, playing outside, going for bike rides, picnicking at the park, and the hit of Idaho was Leo's place (a pizza joint with a huge play area) We also made a day trip up to Yellowstone to visit Old Faithful! The trip up there was a lot longer than expected there was traffic jams when we got into the park, but the scenery kept us occupied and happy (well some of us) When we finally made it to our destination Old Faithful was running a little late and the kids weren't to happy about that, but when he finally decided to blow they all thought it was really cool!! than we went on one of the smaller trails so the kids could see some mini geysers up close, Jordan got a little curious and ignored all the warning signs and dipped his fingers into the water, he said it was really hot!! The next day we made the long trek all the way home, We were all ready to sleep in our own beds! It was such a fun trip and we'll have to make it up there again in the next few years cause there's so much to see!! A big Thank You to the Doty's for putting us up and showing us a good time!!

Sounds like a blast. I've been thinking we need to do a quick road trip before school starts. You're inspiring me! I know this is so bad but I wanted to put my fingers in the water at Yellowstone so bad. I love that he did it. Glad you're back safe;)
So glad that you had a fun trip! You need to come to Reno sometime, we would love that.
You all are welcome Anytime. We love to hang out with you and the kids have such a good time together. It was super fun! BTW the things the kids say are so hilarious.
Yellowstone is pretty cool! We liked it, but also had to deal with the traffic (plus the long drive up there). That's pretty funny about the finger in the water!
Glad you guys are enjoying your summer until the end!
