Spud Day 2017

It was a pretty cold Spud Day this year, which I guess we were due for. It was raining for a bit in the morning but luckily cleared up by the time the parade started.

Lucas got to decorate a car and be in the parade with the scouts

Sam liked getting candy, even with the wrapper still on

A storm came through but luckily it was after the wedding and after most everyone had eaten.

Bear Lake fun

In the Paris Tabernacle. We were going to go to Bear Lake the first day but it was too crowded. This mean we had some time to kill, so we stopped here and looked around.

Kryssi’s 30th Birthday

The kids were super excited for her to open presents

Funfetti cake, her favorite

Park City

This year is our 10 year anniversary, so we wanted to do something to celebrate. Jill volunteered to watch our kids so we went down to Utah and took a few days to relax in Park City (we also get to go to Puerto Rico the end of August, but didn’t know that until after we booked this trip). Before we left, we got a chance to see Jason and his family, which was great.

Our cat had more kittens. The kids were excited because we gave 2 of the last litter away and 1 of the 2 we kept got hit by a car, so they want to keep all of these ones (not going to happen)

Pretty sunset

Teton Valley

Nice paved trail right outside our condo

Decided to go hiking to the Darby Wind Cave. Didn’t realize they’re would still be snow on the ground

Sam loved being outdoors

Trail ended up being so snow covered we had to stop and go back. Lucas and McKinley are at the top of that snow pile

Standard picture in front of the antler arches

Found a children’s museum in Jackson we decided to try out. It was pretty small and didn’t look like much from the outside, but it actually was really nice.

Pretending to fly a plane

Sam loved this pretend grocery store and filling his cart with “food”

Going on another hike right next to our condo, down to the creek
