Bear Lake Family Reunion

-
We had a wonderful family reunion in Bear Lake from June 27-30, 2017. This is all of us standing in front of the St. Charles chapel where Bishop Elijah Charles Keetch served for 12 years. 

We celebrated birthdays of Amy (July 7), Addy (July 7) and Lainey (June 22). We also played -- rhubarb, 20 questions, heads up, charades, and more.

We ordered the "Big Ephraim" pizza and demolished the whole thing.


We loved paddleboarding, and almost everyone was able to take a turn.

The days were warm and sunny. 


On the way to Bear Lake, we tried Maria's trampoline and we toured their beautifully renovated home. 

Everyone got to jet ski -- even Hannah wanted a short turn with Kip. This is Amy and Nathan; they rescued Paul and Carmella when their jet ski broke out in the middle of the lake. 

Right before we left, the four Weatherford boys went golfing in Laramie. Handsome! 

This is a great family picture at Keetch Kottage, taken after Amy and Nathan pushed the kids on the swing for an hour. 


Kip and Carolyn "relaxing" for a second between all the fun! 

Several granddaughters (Rosie, Evelyn, and Lainey) created enough fortune tellers out of origami to give away to 100 children. I brought them home for my primary children and the children loved them! 

Grandpa and Nora Bora enjoyed telling jokes!

Paul and Carmella celebrated one year of marriage right before we left for Bear Lake. Cool!

We had such a blast, didn't we?! I know I did! These pictures just helped me relive those fun few days we had together at Bear Lake. Thank you, mom and dad, for such a fun trip! The memories I have are so precious to me.

Amy's braces

-

On January 6th, I got braces from my orthodontist, Dr. Edwards. He said I will be wearing them for about 3 years. My teeth were very sore for the first few days, and all I could eat was stuff like yogurt, soup and other soft food. He tightens the wire on my braces every month, so I will expect to be sore for a couple days each month. This is a picture of me before I got my braces: And this is a picture of me with my braces:

 Mom and I went up to the northwest corner of our beautiful state of Wyoming.  First, we stopped overnight in Grand Teton Natl Park .   it was a very short cabin (and an original settler's one) it was a little smoky. Next we drove to Mammoth Hot Springs in the NW corner of Yellowstone NP. we had a ton of elk right in front of our cabin! Buffalo everywhere in Lamar Valley, where a few of you went as 4th graders. The bull elk comes into town....ready to fight for his mating ritual Next we went on the BearTooth Highway, which reaches nearly 11, 000 feet and usually has mountain goats. Next we headed down to Old Faithful and the Geyser basin.  it was truly amazing! one of our favorites--Sapphire pool! Some of you may remember Riverside Geyser Good Old Faithful....erupts every 90 minutes, but only lasts about 3-5 minutes a new find--Castle Geyser--it went off for 20-25 minutes! our cabin at Old Faithful Lodge Our last stop was in the Canyon and Falls area ....
