Our August Trip

On August 12th the kids and I flew out to Utah. My little brother Carter got married on the 15th and it was such a beautiful day. Their sealing by Elder Craig Zwick of the Seventy was wonderful my only regret was not having Kaile with me at the temple... Stupid finals! After a whirlwind wedding weekend we all headed up to Bear Lake. We had such a great time playing on the beach, paddle boarding and riding on Papa's boat. Good food, games and cousins made the trip excellent! We also celebrated Mailey turning 1 even though it was few days late. After bear lake we got to go to the zoo and then on Friday Kaile flew in to meet us in Utah. We enjoyed the weekend in Utah with family and of course had to get in a visit with my Grandma and Grandpa Carter. On Sunday Canessa and Bart blessed Lielle and we got to take some family pictures. Afterwards we headed up to Wyoming to spend a week with Kaile's parents. We went to Thermopolis to swim in the hot springs and I just loved it. I could have stayed all day! Brecken went off the high dive and went down the big slides. We then went to Cooke City, MT. The Beartooth Mountains are so beautiful and we got some fishing in on the north fork. We spent the night there and had some delicious Bison burgers, Brecken  also got a cap gun with a holster which he loves!!! In the morning we got breakfast at the bearclaw and I had the most amazing biscuits and gravy I have ever eaten! On the way back to Kaile's parents we did some more fishing and mailey was so happy playing and eating sand:) Later in the week we went up on the big horns to go fishing for brook trout. Brecken and Brooklin had the best time together. We packed lunch and spent the whole day in the mountains. I fly fished and caught 3 fish... Kaile says I'm a natural fisherwoman:) We celebrated our birthdays in Wyoming and Brecken got some genuine cowboy boots from grandma myrick to match his new gun. We headed back to Utah on Sunday and spent the next two days playing a relaxing after our busy time in Wyoming. We flew out on September 3rd and then Kaile started back up at school. It was a great 3 weeks and a trip we will never forget!!!
