THE summer vacation

so for those of you who don't have facebook, or are not fortunate enough to be my friend on there at least... :) i wanted to post our idaho pics so you could see them! also, to tell you a little bit about what we did... SO we went up to idaho the beginning of last month to a little place called island park. SO BEAUTIFUL. loved it. while we were there, we got to enjoy some marvelous huckleberry pancakes & huckleberry cheescake (YUMMMM), the amazing wonders of the very first national park in our country- YELLOWSTONE, did a little fishing, saw the GRAND TETONS, and cruised back home through the ever loverly Wyoming! A big, grand THANK YOU to my gorgeous sister-in-law's family for having us and to jake's family for being there as well and making it a wonderful trip. without further ado.. presenting...... the pics. :)
p.s. they WILL be a little scattered because i really hate trying to organize them on this thing.. just know it was all on the same trip ok??

St. George

we traveled away to st. george a few weeks ago to see my family... especially to hang out with my aunt and cousins from back east. it was pretty enjoyable to hang out with everyone and meet a couple of the new babies we've now got in the fam. we had a big family bbq, a mini photo session with little baby {P} and went to the lake to enjoy the sunshine and lay out on the sandstone rocks. here are some shots of the weekend:parker and heidi enjoying girl time.
