Tyrel served his mission in Philadelphia & ever since he heard about a temple being built there he wanted to go to the open house. In August Russ and I got to watch Tytyn and Halter for a week while Lindsey and Tyrel went to Philly.
We decided while we were in Idaho we would take the boys to Yellowstone and go camping.
I just LOVE this picture of the boys!! They are both actually looking at me & I love those cute faces surrounded by beautiful yellow flowers!!
The boys loved camping & sleeping in a tent. Their family has a camper so sleeping in a tent was a new experience.
Tytyn, Papa & Halter
Tytyn was great at helping with the dishes.
Halter was great at being cute!! And yes grandma had to comb their hair,
even while we were camping!
Do you think Halter was enjoying smores or what?
I love the colors of these mineral pools.
You don't realize how huge this waterfall is until you see the people standing in the upper right corner.
You gotta love ice cream!
35 years ago Russ and I went to Yellowstone together right after we got engaged. We thought it would be fun to take a picture in the same spot. Kind of crazy to think about.
Papa, Halter & Tytyn
Its really nice to have two of our kids living within 30 minutes of each other. We went to lunch with Jacob and Janette and they went camping with us one night. Janette's sister & husband were there one night also. The boys didn't get to sleep until 11:00 one night because they thought it was
"party time" in the tent!!

If any of you like french fries go to the Burg in Rexburg, they give you a ton!!
This is what happens when you get to bed late:)
Mesa Falls
Russ, Tytyn, Halter, Janette & Jacob
There's a lodge at Mesa Falls that has all kinds of skins from animals that you can touch.
The boys loved it.
The boys loved it.
Halter loves "Nette" & always wants her to hold him when she's around.
Shopping for Sunday shoes for the boys.
We took them to the water park in Rexburg & it was so fun. Russ was amazed I'd put my suit on for my grandkids, but not him. What can I say??
Halter & Grandma
Tytyn wanted to go by and see the temple.
It was such a FUN week, but went WAY too fast. I wished I lived closer to all my grandkids, but I'm grateful for the time I get with them:) I LOVE being a grandma!!!
Thank you SOOO much for coming and watching them!!! They had such a blast with you guys and still talk about it! I am so blessed to have you as parents, but even more blessed that my kiddos get you two as grandparents! Love you!
ReplyDeleteIt was so fun being with you guys and the boys! Even if it was a short trip we had a blast and loved camping all together! Great pictures! Love you guys!
ReplyDeleteSo, where do I sign up to become one of your grandkids?
ReplyDeleteThose are some cute kids! You are always doing such fun stuff with your grandkids. They are lucky to have you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great adventure and such cute photos. I do have to say I almost burst out laughing at the picture of you and Russ and newlyweds. You looked WAY TOO YOUNG to be married, like a couple of teenage kids. It's always lovely times when we're together with our families.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! How nice of you to go take care of some of your grandkids, take them camping and to yellowstone!
