Trip to Wyoming

Last week we were able to go up to Ethan's sister's husband's parents' (boyfriends dogs neighbors...) cabin near Centennial Wyoming. We had so much fun playing outdoors. And I became a believer that there is more to Wyoming than wind and plains.


Getting ready to ride the ATVs. I promise we were only riding around the cabin on dirt roads.


Cameron was not super excited about it. I think he was more angry about wearing the helmet.


One of the days we went for a hike. Here we are at the "top." It was so windy! Okay, so maybe Wyoming still fits that bill...


Pointing at the waterfall down below



I got some beautiful shots of the mountains up there.







Cameron loves riding in the hiking backpack. It's a whole new world up there!


The start of our hike. Tiernan was so mad that we were walking on relatively flat trail. He kept asking when we were going to go hiking and pointing up the mountains and asking to go there. He must be a boy, wanting to conquer!


So against my better judgement I let Ethan convince me to drive the 4Runner on a trail. He tried to tell me that it would be dirt road the whole way. Uh huh. On the map it only looked like maybe 5-6 miles....it took us literally 2.5 hours to drive it because it was so bumpy, rocky, muddy, etc. etc. Keep in mind we had two small children in car seats in the back and NO cell phone service. So if something would have broken on my car....it could have been interesting. Ethan thought it was SOOO awesome-I was trying not to yell at him for taking us on this trail we'd never been on. In the end everything worked out okay and Ethan felt like a real man because he took us over these big rocks. And yes, that is what we drove the 4Runner over.



Where is the biggest stick to throw in the water??


There it goes!



Look, a flower!


I loved how the light was hitting everything up there-absolutely gorgeous!




Can you spot the little boy poking through the leaves?


We spent a lot of time throwing rocks in the "ribber"


They got brave and put their toes in the burrrrista cold water



Cameron was trying to climb over the bridge into the water



It's amazing I got both little hands at the same time!
