Albric's Birthday June 2018

I crocheted Albric a ray gun for his birthday gift.  We spent the afternoon playing with cousins at Grandma's house.  After the party, Albric wanted more cake and knocked it upside down. 

Hobbit Caves with Cousins 2018

In June last year, my sister came up to Logan to explore the Hobbit caves in Logan Canyon.  She invited us and the other members of our family that live in Logan.  We were lucky to have Mark with us as he had just started his new shift working from 3 to 11.  We went and explored the caves and river and then went on a hike further up the road.  After the hike, we all went and cleaned the sink at Angie's.  After the ice cream, we went swimming at first dam.  I had never been swimming there, but it was fun.  The water was so cold, and we jumped off the dock.  Marinda, Carter, and I did it several times.  After swimming, we went to a park in River Heights to play.  Albric was tuckered out and took a nap on the grass.  It was quite an adventurous day. 

Yellowstone 2018

Our second week of Mark's sabbatical was spent in Lava Hot Springs and Yellowstone.  We had such a great time.  I am finally going to share the pictures.

On our way from Colorado to Lava Hot Springs, we stopped in Soda Springs.

We watched Captive Geyser.

We went on a small hike above our campsite in Lava.

We finally made it to Yellowstone.

This bison walked almost right up to Calvin.

Waiting for Old Faithful, Albric fell asleep.

The best people in the most beautiful place.

Walking by the Madison River.

Some bison hair stuck to the tree.

Walked around most of the attractions with Albric like this.  He said "Hi" to everyone we passed.

Cup o noodles.

Our last fire in Yellowstone.

I loved Yellowstone so much.  I can't wait until our next trip.  Even though it was pretty rainy in May and pretty cold, we had such a good time as a family.  I am so grateful that our Heavenly Father made such a beautiful place on this earth and that he gave others wisdom to preserve it.  I am so glad I got to share it with my little boys and my eternal dance partner.
