Well, we are back from more big adventures. First we went to the Uinta county fair to watch my sisters show their steers. I of course forgot to get the camera out and take pictures so I don't have any but we did have a lot of fun. The kids loved seeing the animals, we rode on some rides, we watched the cowboy show, we made lots of crafts and Trevor's favorite souvenir was his rope that he made. Right after the steer show on Thursday we headed up to the Tetons for Nick's big family reunion(about 300 people). Every year they get together and camp for a week. Most people don't camp for the whole week but everyone just comes when it works for them. It really is a fun thing. I didn't get the camera out until Saturday so we don't have very many pictures but we do have a few. I am pretty sure that we didn't leave any dirt in the mountains because my children wore it all home. The all had so much fun getting so dirty. We did finally take a bath in Grandma's big tub on Saturday. It didn't take them long to be completely covered in dirt again but hey we tried. It was so good to see family and be able to visit with them. I love being in the mountains and just enjoying the beauty of the earth. I always feel so close to my Father in Heaven when I have the chance to enjoy nature. We are so blessed.

We came home from the reunion on Sunday and Monday was of course dedicated to laundry, cleaning the van, more laundry, unpacking and more laundry. Monday evening we went to a circus here in Kemmerer. It was really neat. The kids really liked the lion and tigers. After the circus they got to go on one of those inflatable slides. At first they were not going to be able to go because they were too small, but the guy felt bad for them when he saw how crushed they were when we told them they couldn't go. He let them each go down once, and that was enough! They loved it. Anyway, I know your not going to believe it but I forgot my camera, so no pictures from the circus. Sorry, I have a major problem trying to remember my camera, I think that it is because I used to make fun of my mom for the same problem. OOPS, sorry mom!

We went to the circus tonight over here. It was great! Connor was trying all kinds of balancing tricks by intermission--on the bleachers and his dad. We may have a broken bone or two before the week is over!
