Don't want to spend too much time on the 'Big Hills,' but I did want to mention our last get-away and how much fun the kids had with grandparents...
Joel and I got to "escape" a few weekends ago with his family to cousin Ellie's wedding in Elk, Washington. It was nice to get away and catch up with family. Aside from Joel's immediate family members (who are all here), his mom's family is scattered from Vegas, to Seattle, to Idaho Falls. Needless to say, it's not often we are all together. This was certainly a treat!
Here is a picture of almost everyone...
The wedding was beautiful! Ellie did a great job with all of the details, and we wish Ellie and Miles all the best!
We did get a chance to play a little, too. That Sunday morning, we all headed to Montana - Janet, Mike, Aimee, Ray, Justin, and Lauren - for the Hiawatha Bike Trail. It was a little overcast that day, and we were up higher in the mountains than we had been. I actually bought a long-sleeve shirt (yes, this did happen in August) for the beginning of the ride (and the first tunnel that stays around 45 degrees). The weather cleared, and the sun did come out though. We couldn't have asked for a better day to ride. Beautiful, beautiful country. Huge trees, waterfalls, tunnels, trestles... breathtaking views. Here are a few of my favorites and the link to the rest.
Don't worry - the little ones were in good hands. Daddy Dave and Sheryl came down to stay with the kids and dogs while we were gone. I got lots of updates on how much fun they were having, and I was a little worried they may be sad for us to come home! My mom and Adrian watched them the last day. So nice to have family close, and I am always glad for the time grandparents get to spend with the kids.
