Montana/Washington

From July 23rd-August 4th, we spent a wonderful vacation with TC's parents, his sister, April, a his sister, Kristin, and her two cute daughters, Lexi (3) and Kaytlin (15 months). We are sorry that Kristin's husband, John, had to work and couldn't come down. Also, TC's youngest sister is also working in Alaska and his other brother is on a mission so we missed them as well. We also were able to spend time with TC's extended family in Montana including his grandma, aunts, uncles, and a few cousins. Savanna loved hanging out with her only 2 cousins, swimming, and playing outside. The weather in Montana was much warmer that years past and it was so fun to swim in the lake and hang out. We spent the first five days in Montana and then came to Washington and spent a week there. Highlights there included: boating/tubing, seeing "The Proposal" with just the girls (love that movie), playing lots of games, eating at Sherry's, going to the Playground of Dreams, going to one of TC's good friends' from high school's sister's wedding reception and catching up with him, going on a fun date with TC, and just talking and hanging out together. Savanna would say the highlights of her trip were: sunning herself on the raft in Montana, throwing a stick to a nearby dog in Montana, seeing TC's aunts' dogs, seeing dogs around the neighborhood in Washington (see a theme here?), swimming in the pool at Grandma and Grandpa's house, jumping on the trampoline, and hanging out with Lexi and Kaytlin. Anyway, we have so much fun on this trip every year and look forward to it. It is hard to believe it is already over for this year! Here are the fun pictures!

Hiking in Montana (Yeah have rotated pictures before and just can't figure it out for some reason right now and am too impatient to finish this to take the time-sorry) I don't want to ride in this carrier! (She settled down after a bit). Yeah, not doing too well for her picture with Great Grandma Perry. Am I in trouble?

Fun at the Playground of Dreams in Washington (don't you just love those chunky thighs?) Kristin and her two girls, Kaytlin and Lexi, enjoying the swings Savanna loves the swings-she refused to get off. We eventually had to just take her off and she threw a little bit of a fit but then got over it soon when she noticed a dog nearby.

Some of the blackberries TC's dad found on our hike (sorry more out of order).

It was around nap time and Savanna just passed out on her Grandpa's shoulder. How precious!
