CacheValley Fair and Rodeo!

Could the fair be anymore fun? We bought all day wrist passes this year, it was so worth it, the kids had such a blast! We really look forward to this every year! Here's Emmy she is our dare-devil raising her hands up in the air, Brody kept his glued to the handle bars!!We ran into Matt and Jen and the kids got to go on a few rides together, here is Emmy and Casen! This was their most favorite ride, the motorcycle's, we rode this ride several time!Sophie was such a good sport as we dragged her around all day!"Giddy-up"The youth in our ward did the pony rides again this year! The day Dan took his turn we got free pony rides!These sweet pink boots we borrowed from LuLu. Emmy needed all the extra height she could get so she could ride all the rides! They still made me measure her each time! Casen was so cute every time they stood him to be measured he automatically stood on his tip toes! He knew how to work the system!!We rode so many rides we lost count of them!Zoom Zoom!Wyatt and Shaye Daugs had two fluffy little sheep in the fair to show in the pee-wee event, they were nice enough to let Emmy and Brody run them through again! Look at all the loot they got. They had a blast!Showing off their prizes!Brody renamed Wyatt's sheep "Fireball!"Emmy renamed her sheep "powder puff!" But I think that is probably the name Shaye gave it!Thanks Nate, you did all the work and the kids got the spoils! Shaye and EmmyVroom!Brody can't, not stop and ride the motorcycle's and snowmobiles, they could do that all night!We got to go to the rodeo with Nate and Kristy, Dan caught this shirt for Brody the clown through out!The rodeo has got to be Brodyn's favorite part, I rummaged through the tack shed and found my old cowboy hat, covered in dust! He loves it!

Trip to Star Valley and Teton Village!

Here we are in Afton Wyoming, eating at this amazing Mexican place...(what Dan thinks), it was not that amazing! We got to go to Matt and Jen's cabin in Star Valley, Wyoming, we had a blast with them, we always do!! It was just perfect and relaxing we had so much fun!

Brodyn loved this antler archway and the two fighting elk! We went to Teton Village and rode the lifts with our bikes and then had fun riding the trails down the Mtn. Brody was in heaven! Dan and I took turns riding down with him, the lifts were so much fun. We had to cut our fun short because they closed the lifts due to lightning. We were disappointed, I would have loved to go down one more time!

Emmy had just learned to ride her bike , of course the Mtn. trail was too hard for her so she stayed down here at the lift with one of us and rode around in the grass, she had a blast and was totally showing up this little girl who looked 3yrs older than her. Who was having a bike lesson with a paid instructor.

Gibson Family Reunion!

There is something about an extended family reunion, that is so much fun! This is Dan's mom's side of the family, we get together really only once a year, now that Grandpa Gibson is gone! We had so much fun! We went up towards Malad Idaho spent the day camping and having fun, and then that evening the family had rented a swimming pool which was so much fun, apparently it is around 100 yrs old. At one time was completely buried and then dug up and remodeled. It was a blast it had kiddie slides along the side of it, these little small slides that the kids just loved! We forgot Emmy's swimsuit she had to wear just her blue little shirt and then Sophie's little bumpkin bottoms!Emmy hanging out in Grandma and Grandpa Thatcher's sweet camper!Aunt Tye and her sons put together these cool coloring books. They had taken pictures of familiar objects and spots around Grandpa Gibson's house, and then with the help of a computer program changed them into a coloring page. It was fun remembering what and where everything was...it helped us remember Grandpa and Grandma Gibson!Emmy cuddling with Grandma after taking a tumble down the slippery slide!Sophie with dad just chillin!Alexis, Emmy and Meagann having fun on the slippery slide!Emmy and I..."Later Dudes!"Brody the "Dare-devil" sliding down on his knees!James, Dash and Brodyn playing with cars!Emmy Driving the Camper!
