Monday, December 26th we headed to Wyoming. We actually left before 9 am! Pretty good (2 hours to get loaded/snacks/drinks,etc.)
Brienna was able to drive in Idaho--her first time driving (without her instructor) out of Dubois!
She did a great job--luckily the weather was great & the roads were dry. She forgot sunglasses, so (lucky her) she was privileged enough to wear mine!
We had Benjamin & Callum with us in the van. Rusty had Zane & Emmalee.
Benjamin finished "reading" the book, so turned to his foot for entertainment. Overall, we had a pleasant trip! The kids were well behaved.
The Tetons--notice the lack of very much snow on the road & off the road. (And try NOT to notice the crack in our windshield.)
Now we must be in Wyoming, because Brienna is taking a picture of her (not driving!). With good roads & only 3 stops (1--change drivers in Wyoming; 2--lunch break in Jackson; 3--pit stop in Dubois, WY), we made it to my parent's house by 4 pm. My mom made the most delicious ham & beans with scrumptious homemade scones (& honey butter). Yum, Yum!
The next day we were able to play with Kailey & Alyssa (my niece Tina's girls). The kids like to play with their cousins & Emmalee & Kailey soon had their imaginations running wild!
Brienna, Emmalee, Benjamin, Kailey, Alyssa, my sister Laurie & Callum at my parent's house.
Emmalee put all the checkers in the Connect 4 game, and had 1 black checker left--so she gave herself a black eye! Too cute.
My mom--I love her!
Benjamin playing Trouble.
"Twins"--Zane & Ben have the same coat (just a few sizes different.)
And Emmalee doesn't like to pass the opportunity to get her picture taken too! (Ben is showing off his "new" teeth here).

It looks like this was a wonderful trip for the whole family. Ben's new teeth make for a beautiful smile. The lack of snow I think is being missed everywhere. My concern is that we are not getting much right now, so does that mean we all will be having a white spring break?
I am pretty sure my daughter will be attending BYU-I.... we are hoping to make a trip up sometime in the near future to see the campus. I will let you know. It would be fun to meet in person.
I love love love the pictures! I miss being able to visit family at Christmas time.
