Going West!!

This summer I had a chance to go out west with my family to deliver my little brother to BYU to start his freshman year. The trip was alot of fun. We got to see some sights on the way out and on the way back plus we turned it into a family reunion. Everyone, except Steve and the kids, were able to meet up at Jamie's house in Utah. I enjoyed my first real steak dinner, visited Arches National Park, Canyonland National Park, saw my first MLS soccer game, moved Christopher into his dorm, visited Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park, Badlands National Park, saw some LDS Church history sites in Nauvoo, and enjoyed the company of my mom, dad, and little sister. It was a great trip and we had lots of fun. Enjoy a picture tour of our trip.
The back seat sitters on the drive out: me, Elizabeth, Mama
The Norrod's in Cheyenne, WY. This is who took good care of me while I lived there.
Ruth's Chris Steak House: the anticipation was almost to much

Marianne and I enjoyed the "Windows" in Arches

This view is in Canyonlands National Park. It was really windy, a storm was moving in.


You can't go to Provo, UT and not get some Cafe Rio!
This is the day we ALL moved Christopher into his dorm room.
Christopher is all grown up. This is right before we left him to start his own new adventure!!
MLS Soccer Game: it ended in a tie.
Father's Day Breakfast in bed.
