Friends? Cousins?

Alison and I used to work together years ago and have stayed close friends ever since.We really should be sisters. On the drive out to their home Ava asked if Sadie and Cyd were her cousins.:) We just love this family like family and we always have a great time together. This summer we ran the river again with them and were able to squeeze in an extra day full of dinosaur bone hunting and playing down at the sandbar. So so fun...thanks again guys!

This is one of the coolest museums ever! They actually built this huge museum over the dinosaur dig site. An entire wall of the building is the side of a mountain full of bones! So you get to see first hand how amazing it would be to find these giant bones.   Up at the top floor of the museum...it's pretty impressive!  After lunch we headed down to the sand bar for some sandy fun. We made castles and mermaids and ate sandy Muddy Buddies.   The next morning we stopped at the "Sev" ,of course, for a breakfast of champions...powdered sugar donuts and Slurpees, then headed up to Flaming Gorge.  The water was freezing and the scenery was spectacular as always. This year we stopped at a sand bar to play on the side of the river, the kids loved it!    And of course we finished off the raft trip with a picnic at Little Hole, chicken salad sandwiches, peanut butter m&ms, and watermelon...our usual.    A few weeks later while Morgan and Alison did a wedding shoot in town (they are amazing photographers) we got to spend the whole day with the kids at Seven Peaks. The kids had a great time...they are fearless I tell ya...Sadie and Cyd both went down Free Fall! Luke made me go with him the last time we came here and I was pretty scared! He looked at me and said, "It's okay mom I'm even a little scared." :)
