I need to get caught up!

So many things and so little time to blog.

Let's see...
Taylor turned 5 on July 4. We went to the parade (of course.) She calls it hers and her favorite thing is the Americanas that stand on their horses. She also got a real pink cowgirl hat. She scarcely takes it off. We bought her a "cowgirl" outfit she could wear to church complete with belt buckle. So cute!




July 11-12 we had a family reunion in Garland, UT. I haven't been to this side of the family for years and it was great fun to see my cousins and catch up! My kids had a great time playing with new friends.
Sunday, the 13th, we left for Island Park. We were lucky enough to have the sweetest aunt share her timeshare week with us. We had a blast! Monday we went to West Yellowstone. JR and I decided to take the kids to the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center. Kind of expensive, but if you want your kids to see bears up close, it's worth the $$$. The pass is good for 2 days so you can come and go as you please. My favorite was their bear named Sam. He was 1000 lbs. HUGE. He was fun to watch. I realized that I'd be petrified if I ever came upon a bear in the wild. I think he liked having his picture taken as you can see below.

If you look behind Sam, you can see his twin sister's head. She was goofin' around in the water.
I won't bore you with any more of the details of our trip, but check out the buffalo pics. We had them crossing in front of our car. Fun for the kids!
