A WEEK FULL OF FUN!!!

We are finally home after spending a week with my aunts,uncles,cousin,mom,sister and brother in law in beautiful Lander, WY!!

the drive there wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and let me tell you-I never realized just how pretty Utah was!! I am making plans to visit Heber,UT in the future.

the last time I was in Lander I think I was 12 and I had forgotten what a beautiful and peaceful place it is. the town is so small (about 6 thousand people total) and it was nice not to have to worry about my car being broken into, kids getting bullied,etc. it's such a wonderful place

the girls were in shock when we stopped by the fireworks store on the way into town!! we bought about 30 dollars worth of stuff but my sister and her husband bought about 500 worth!! combined there was over a thousand dollars worth of fireworks fun with our entire family.

we spent our days hiking to the waterfalls, playing alongside the river (which was pretty but scary due to it being super full as a result of too high temps during the spring-Lander flooded about a month ago and many people lost their homes and beloved belongings!!).

I even braved doing white river rafting on level 4 rapids!! I ended up getting out right before the ride was over b/c I was just too cold to hold onto the ropes inside the raft any longer. water temp that day was about 50 degrees and it was windy and raining on us too!! I would attempt it again in the future though

here are some pics from our Wyoming adventures!!
