Canada Part Deux

So I'm finally snagging a minute to sit down and finish documenting our summer vacation. These pics are all out of order, but a great way to remember the trip in years to come. I loved traveling with family and having all my boys (Brian included) contained and together for such a long period of time. Grandma Jones and her mother (Grandma Great listnening to the kids sing for her birthday), I honestly don't think I have ever seen my mother in law so happy. It truely was a special day.

Belting out the songs under the direction of Aunt Cletty. Natalie and Garrett carried the Jones portion of the number!


Proof that three carseats fit quite comfortably (if your four) in the backseat of a van. These boys were so thrilled with the DVD player in the rental they hardly had time to pose for the pic. Scooby Doo was the theme of the trip and we watched and watched and watched the same movie I think about three times each day. Thanks cousin Garrett! ( I think we know what we are going to be for Halloween)

Our little family outside the Salt Lake Tempe after dinner with Ange. It was so cool the boys loved just running outside on the beautiful grounds.

This is the black bear we saw when were entering the park. The boys were so excited because they had been jealous of Papa seeing the bears everyday in the Yukon. And no there were no pictures with the boys and the bear, although it was about all we could do to keep them in the van.

"Swimming" in our tub when we got the upgrade in Montana. The bathroom was the size of the boys' bedroom at home. The boys loved sleeping together on the pullout and Ben keeps asking when we can stay in a hotel again. A boy after my own heart. There is just something so fun about sleeping in a big bed full of fluffy pillows where you can turn the air up as much as you want for FREE!

The damage to the rental van when we got sideswiped in Canada. Oh, those Canadian drivers (wait a minute?!). Seriously though we were so lucky no one was hurt and we see how it will all work out with the rental company in the end. We can't forget this moment!

Lukey enjoying the rest stop. He is getting so big and loved to be with his brothers and cousins and wouldn't be left behind anywhere.

Another reason that hotels are fun!

Wrestling made up a large portion of our trip. The boys tackling eachother and Garrett any chance they got. Jeffey and Garrett made quite the pair and were constantly teasing eachother.

This is what all my boys thought of the Tabernacle Choir practicing for pioneer days.


Jeffey checking out what to do if we crashed, guess the info wasn't that comforting.
