The Friday before Memorial Day we headed to Wyoming to spend time with family and attend a baptism. It was a LONG drive and the weather was TERRIBLE but we sure had a great time! All of Brian's family made the trip as well as others. We were all on our own schedules and ended up at Brian's sisters for our nephew's baptism.
Brian and I went through Yellowstone on the way and attempted a walk to some hot pots but ended up in a snow storm! We stayed in the car most of the drive and admired the animals from the windows. We saw a bear! That one we got out for (it was still pretty far away).
When we arrived at Brian's sister's home in WY, we were greeted by six darling little puppies. Emmy loved it!
We did some exploring while in WY and visited a few museums. Of course the girls had to pick out a souvenir...
Like I said, lots of driving this trip...we'd pull over now and again and let the girls jump around and play in the car.
It was snowy and wet during our trip and this doesn't even show how bad our car got. You could barely touch the door handles let alone any part of the vehicle when trying to get in . We were all pretty dirty by the end of the little vacation.
We found some fun walls and interesting scenery while there.
It was still cold, but not snowy up a near by canyon. We drove up it and went hiking around for flat rocks. Brian has been collecting them during his travels so we can use them in our backyard landscaping. He found some nice big ones and Emmy brought home this little one.
Most important was spending time with family. We all came together for this guy, Ryker, so we could celebrate his baptism (I promise Brian wears a tie with his suit, just forgot to pack it).
Like I said, we drove and drove to get there and drove and drove to get back. But all the driving was well worth it because we got to make so many fun memories as a family, even if we were only gone a few days. We are looking forward to more road trips this summer! And better weather!
