The big trip!

In July we had a wonderful trip to Idaho. It was our first big road trip as a family, so I honestly had very low expectations of how it was going to turn out :-) It was truly a great adventure, sometimes loathsome but mostly grand. On our way to Idaho we stopped by Wilson Arch in southern Utah and hiked it. It was so much fun--the kids never get to climb anything around here, so it was quite an accomplishment for their little selves. And the rest of the trip, Soren would see hills and mountains and request "can we climb a mountain?":



Then to Four Corners, where the kids laid in all four states at the same time! (Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Arizona)


We made a stop at an old childhood friend of Brad's, Brian Beutler and his family. It was such a nice visit and I love this picture of us right before we headed on up to Pocatello, ID our final destination. Everyone looks so bright and happy. Right before, we were chasing down kids to get in the picture and it was feeling rather roasty outside, but it all came together for one flash of a moment...
