Preston

We are back from a fantastic vacation to Utah and Idaho!

We left Birch Bay on a Friday night, stopped to stay in Pendleton, Oregon, then got to Preston Saturday evening, just in time for a big BBQ in my parents' backyard.

 Papa and Bailey did an awesome fireworks show for us.

My brother Bailey, his son Trip, and Sam.

After the fireworks, Liam decided to do a little dazzling of his own, showing off his breakdancing and boogie skills. 

This inspired a meeting to plan a big cousin program.

Since Grace and Liam were the ringleaders, you can bet there was a lot of booty-shaking involved.

Iris was an especially fancy performer in her sparkly stretch pants.

It was so fun to all be back together again.  

Halle and Grace were super-excited to see each other...

...and we got to meet Halle's new little brother, Kael, who is simply the cutest baby around.

Apparently, a love of children walking on your back runs in my genetic code - here's Bailey enjoying a niece and nephew massage.

Watching Trip drive the four-wheeler was hilarious...

...and so was watching the kids fly!

We played our favorite game, Beyond Balderdash,

and some sleep-deprived parents of newborns didn't make it all the way through.

I can tell by the sheer amount of pictures I took that it will take many more posts to share them all, so stay tuned!
