Labor Day Weekend

We decided to make one more trip to Driggs for Labor Day weekend before my sister and her family left to go back to Africa. Lucky for us, Caitlin's brother in law was getting married that next weekend so she flew out early so we could spend some more time together! Getting together twice in one summer is a big deal for us! We were just missing my brother :(


We decided to go on a nice long hike and it was beautiful but we had to keep our eyes out for bears since there have been a lot of sightings this year. We had delicious food as always. Jonathan is enjoying "space burgers" off the grill and delicious corn on the cob-his favorite!Brady, the master griller! Everyone enjoying their delicious food and perfect weather. One night Kristen's family decided to go to the drive in theater to watch Spy Kids 4 since it was their last chance to go and Abigale begged to go with them. I was a little hesitant because the movie didnt start until 8:30 and she is normally in bed by 7:30 but I couldnt deny her a fun experience with her cousins so she got to go and had a lot of fun. We paid for it a little bit the next day because she was grumpy and tired but luckily she took a nap.



Here she is getting in her warmest clothes with her cousin Claire.

I love this picture. Abigale was sitting by Ryan and he kept grabbing her hair and she would laugh. Max wanted to get in on it and William (in the background) kept running up and grabbing her hair too! They thought they were pretty funny.I know I have a lot of pictures of these two but they are just so cute together!Papa in heaven. Reading books with his Grandkids!Cant wait for these two to become buddies! Part of the reason we all met in Driggs for Labor Day was so that we could attend the Eastern Idaho State Fair on the way home. I grew up going to this fair and we went last year with the girls so it was fun to go with everyone this time. They loved playing in these little cars. All the cousins minus Ryan and Claire: The best part of any fair is the food of course. Jonathan decided to go crazy and got a hamburger with 2 doughnuts used as the bun. Makes me sick just looking at the picture. He said it was pretty good but he, not surprisingly, felt sick the rest of the day. Not worth it!
He was loving the fair! Abigale was obsessed with seeing all of the animals. She wanted to run up and touch all of them. I dont think I will ever get used to the smell- I am definitely not a farm girl. Abigale and her buddy Aunt Caitlin! Next best thing about the fair- the rides!


















They did not love this ride. It was really jerky and they kept hitting their heads. Abigale, who loves rides, was crying to get off of it by the end. You can tell by the picture that they were nervous to start. Such a great trip and an even better way to end the summer. We had so much fun but are ready for the Fall!
