Family Pictures

Cory and I took a weekend trip up to Wyoming for some needed vacation time, and to take some family pictures!  The pictures turned out great, but we will probably never have proof of that, because the photographer doesn't give out any digital files.  Trust me though, we look good, even though we had to brave the elements and go into some of the tallest grass my mother has ever seen.

Pictures were just one small part of the trip though, and we had tons of fun the rest of the weekend.  Dad, Chris, and I all went golfing on Saturday afternoon and it was a blast.  By the end of the day we were all hitting some pretty good shots, and it was overcast so we weren't dying in the heat.

The course in Powell is actually pretty awesome.  Half of it is their "Desert Course", which is the one we played on.  We were also the only people playing so we didn't have to feel rushed.  I was surprised at how well kept it was; much better than a lot of the Utah courses I have been to.  Good job , Powell.

Also, who could resist Wyoming's best frozen yogurt (and possibly their only frozen yogurt)?  We got to try WYogurt!

The rest of the time, though, was spent at home in my parent's new house.  It was really fun for me to be there and feel like we were making new memories in a new home.  We played games, watched movies, ate a lot of good food, and complained about how long it was taking the guys outside to finish the landscaping--everything you could want during quality family time.  

Dad made scones one night, and Mom made chocolate shakes.  Winning combo!

We also tackled as a family the somewhat daunting task of going through my Grandma Sherry's books.  We spent hours deciding what each person wanted to keep, and what to donate.  She had a ton of books, and a lot of the time had three or four copies of the same book.  

We also tried out my parent's new hot tub, which was awesome.  Ebin and Rhiannon never lost their enthusiasm in showing us the changing color option you could choose for the lights.

Mexican train is definitely our go-to game in the family!

By the end of the weekend, the landscaping was done, and the finished product doesn't look too shabby.
