Yellowstone in July

In July we had the chance to go to Yellowstone with the Lee Family. While there we were also able to head up to Rexburg and pick up Amanda from College. Yellowstone is a beautiful place to visit, but you have to enjoy riding in the car for hours and hours.

Megan got tired of sitting in the car, so she got out to hitchhike. We sat in this traffic for almost 2 hours, moving at a snails pace. I think there were some Elk on the road and everyone had to stop to take a picture.

We went up to Rexburg to pick up Amanda and were able to do baptisms in the Rexburg Temple. It was so fun to do this with the girls.

In June we went to Manti with the Lees and Grandma and Grandpa Theobald to see the Manti Pageant. It was a really fun weekend. We went and saw the peageant on Fricay night and then again on Saturday night. Saturday it rained all day but by 8:00 the sun came out and the show went on, but it was freezing cold. Most of the kids stayed in the warm trailers. Here are a few pictures of us.

Before the show you can go around and talk to the cast members. Amand and her College friends had fun meeting them all. The boy in this picture played Moroni on the hill.

Fathers Dav at the Lees

This year we had Fathers day a week early as we were going to the Manti Pageant and would be out of town for the real Fathers Day. We went over the the Lees for a really nice dinner. Here are a few pictures of our time there.

This is the whole group. Yup that is David Haley in the picture, he came to visit.

Hail Storm June 14th

We have had some pretty wild weather this summer. Here are some pictures of the big hail storm that tore through Denver. It was amazing to watch all the rain and hail. It looked like it had just snowed.

Our Twister June 7th 2009

On June 7th, it was a really stormy afternoon and we went outside and took these pictures from our front porch. These Twisters were a couple of miles away and didn't do any damage that I know of but were exciting to see.
