Day 4: Bear World

Did not get one bear picture, but we saw over 30 bears in this must see place.  They came walking right up to our car, it was so cool.  Jake did not like me rolling down the windows.

The petting zoo....

Luke's new bestie...

And oh the thrill of the rides!

Here's to hoping we see more bears in Yellowstone!

Day 3: First Timers....

 Luke got his first shot at climbing a rock wall and he loved it!

 The first of many of these rides this trip...

 Luke and Bree's first time at Lazer Tag!

 I think we did 3 rounds.  The first 2 he was stuck like glue to me in that dark place.

 But by the 3rd time he was hitting his targets like no other:).

And I do believe this was Luke's first time on the Soaker Boats.

Loved this day followed by Arctic Circle and Fry Sauce YUM!  

Day 2: Seven Peaks and Picnic in the Canyon

 Boy were they glad they didn't miss this!  Luke and I did the lazy river over and over again, and I LOVED having time with just him (and Jer and Jake when they eventually joined us:).
Funny thing about Seven Peaks:  You can't wear sunglasses or hats on the waterslides, but if you want to hold your infant while going down, that's a-okay.
WEIRD!!!!!
And there really are no height requirements for the rides.  Just lifeguard requirements. And if you are lucky enough to get the right lifeguard, you can ride anything you like.  But if the wrong lifeguard just happens to switch out on your 3rd time around, no amount of height or experience will save you.
And there will be tears.
But that's okay because that's when we discovered the lazy river, so I guess it all worked out.
Pinky truces under tunnels, pirate ships and treasures...
Who needs that toilet bowl waterslide anyway?!

 Mike, you photo bombing me again?!?!?

Love all these cute cousins!!

 We met up with the Smith side at Provo Canyon.  It is so beautiful up there!

 Troy, Tiffany, Jessi, Dillyn, Jaimee, Mike, Mike, Grandpa, Jake, Jer, Jolene, Ellen.

 Then the kids took off to find the falls and they didn't hesitate to head right up.

 Feeding the fish.

 Ryan, Avery, Ashely, Grandpa, Grandma, Jake, Troy, Tiffany, Jer, Me, Jaimee, Tyler, Mike, Dillyn,

Smith-Side Family Reunion Day 1

We kicked off the Smith Family reunion with a stay at Troy and Tiff's.  They were the best hosts ever.  They made amazing breakfasts every morning and entertained us every night with games and stories that busted our guts.  Bree loved hanging out with Makayla.

On Sunday we went to cousin Tiffany's mission farewell.  We go to see all the Jensen clan at Uncle John's.  

 Jake, Great Grandma Jensen, Bree and Great Grandpa Jensen.

 Tiffany is going to the Scotland/Ireland mission, so Uncle John had someone come over and play bagpipes.  So cool!

 Avery, Bree, Camryn, Sadie and Emily.  

Oh and nice photo bomb, Uncle Mike!

 Then we went to Aunt Ashley's awesome cabin at Sundance.  

It was like living on Tom Sawyer's Island.  

The kids didn't want to leave....even to go to the water slides the next day.

 Cute Kaylee!

 The ultimate tree house.

 Camryn and Luke

 Luke was dying to go tubing so he stripped down and hit freezing cold water.  He loved it!

 Two of our favorite uncles back at the cabin playing games.

 (Don't even think about it Jamie!)

All that in day one.  Dillyn was pooped.  

But it was FUN!
