Wednesday morning Jon and I went golfing with his sisters, Annie and Heidi. Neither of them have ever really golfed before so Jon, being the nice brother that he is, gave them free gold lessons!
I had to put this next picture of Heidi on here since she hit the "shot of the day!" It was a par 3 that you had to hit over a big lake. She hit the ball over the water and right onto the green. It was very exciting! I on the other hand, hit 2 balls into the lake before I just decided to drop on the other side! So sad for me.
Everyone took turns being in charge of a meal while we were there. It was fun to try everyone's food and to get some new recipes.
Wednesday afternoon we went down to Mesa Falls and let the kids see the waterfall. They were pretty excited about this.
Another attept at a family shot.
There was a little visitor's center where the kids could feel different animal skins, claws and antelors. Nathan had a good time playing in there with his cousins.
Wednesday night we went to the rodeo and dinner that has become a tradition in my family and hopefully a new tradition in Jon's. Nathan tried to pull the ribbon off of the calf's tail, but wasn't quite quick enough!
He did get to pet it afterwards which was a highlight for him. Jake wanted nothing to do with the the rodeo- I think the bulls freaked him out.
Jon and the boys watched as they let all of the horses out into the field. Jake loved watching the horses run free.
Jake also loved throwing this lasso over the metal bull. He was actually pretty good at it!
Another attempt at a family picture (we will get a good one someday- I just know it!).
I seriously love this man!
Aunt Heidi and Max
Max loved having Uncle Marc throw him into the air!
When did he get so big and grown up? Crazy!
Later that evening Jon and I danced with the boys. It was so much fun!
Grandma wanted in on the action!
Jake and Nate both wanted me to spin them around. I was getting pretty dizzy by the end of the night!
We all danced the night away!
Even Max joined in!
The rodeo and dinner were the perfect ending to a great vacation. A thanks goes out to Ron and Lorelei for helping to organize all of the activities and for paying for EVERYTHING we did the entire week. We had such a great time and can't wait until we can all get together again!
