Our Summer Vacation

And we're back... from Wyoming that is. It was so nice up there to spend time with family and enjoy the cooler weather (almost too cool some nights). The drive up was long and the drive back seemed even longer, although the boys did quite well considering. I am so grateful my Daddy flew down to help with the drive (yes, that is over 3000 miles round trip. AHHH!!!). I don't think I would have been able to do it alone with the two boys. One of them always needed a toy or a snack or something... THANKS AGAIN DAD!

The highlights of the trip include:

FAMILY weekends (on both sides) I wish I had taken a group picture :( But kissin' cousins are good enough.

CAMPING in the Uintahs (let me tell you about how cold it was....)



COUSINS playing with sticks in the woods

SALT LAKE TEMPLE SQUARE walking around with the boys and trying to guess where all the Sister Missionaries were from. The country where they are from is located just below their name tags. We saw ladies from Paraguay, Guatemala, Korea, and Australia just to name a few
HORSES and horse rides around the pasture. Cael even rode Ol' Peppy all by himself!
and Brecon rode Hunter all by himself :)

BEAR LAKE sand and sunshine (or is it Bare Lake?) you decide.
SMILES and LAUGHS

and on the way home: SIGHTSEEING at ROSWELL, NM and CARLSBAD CAVERNS... yes we saw aliens and then we hiked a mile underground. There were steep switchbacks all the way down, my calves were killin' me by the end!





And now we are home again home again... jiggedy-jig! The boys are getting back to a routine and Cael starts Kindergarten on Monday! AHH!! What will Brecon and I do all day? I'm sure we'll figure something out.
Also exciting news for our family.... I'm really going to be outnumbered! We are having a baby boy in November! For those who wish to know that makes me around 27 weeks along. I thought I better share the news before this baby arrives, you know? We just had to keep up the the other Platt brothers who have 3 boys as well. We are looking forward to the adventure that these boys will bring, can you just imagine the trouble we're in for? Wish us luck, we're going to need it.
