Our Trip to Wyoming

The girls and I went on a little vacation last week to Wyoming to see my family. Aaron had to work, so I had to go the 10 hours in the car alone. I was a little nervous about this, but the girls were angels both ways.

We went to Bear Lake with most of the family on Friday and we had such a great time. Penelope loved being out in the water with all of the cousins and Eleanor spent most of the day on my lap, in the shade. The water was really quite cool when we first got there, so Eleanor and I waited a bit to get in. When I did get her in the water, she just crawled through the water like crazy, trying to get back to the beach and the yummy sand.

Penelope's lips were blue all day and she was constantly shivering, but she wouldn't stop playing.

On Friday night, Angela and Mike blessed their baby, Cade. After the blessing we had dessert and the kids ran around outside. Penelope loved Maliyah and they played together really well.

All of the family stayed the night at grandma's that night. We were only missing Aaron, Matt and his family, Stephanie (who had to work) and my Dad (who was busy playing in Alaska). Eva and Nathan even came with Josh and Noah who was only 3 weeks old and sooo tiny. Penelope got to hold Noah and she was so soft with him. I don't have a picture of her holding Noah, but we did get one of her holding Cade. Penelope loves babies.

Most of the time was spent playing with the dress-ups that Grandma, Angela and Penny provided. Eleanor even got to try one on. :)On Saturday morning there was a parade. Can you imagine the squeal of delight that goes with this picture?Penelope with cousins Isabelle (left) and Adrianne (right). Penelope followed these two girls everywhere. On Saturday night we did sparklers in the yard and then went over to the elementary school for the big fireworks.
