Natural Bridge State Resort Park

We were able to check out Natural Bridge State Resort Park near Slade, Kentucky a few weekends ago. It is about 100 miles south-east of Cincinnati. It was beautiful! Bryce did a great job hiking over 2 miles, by himself! We didn't carry him at all. No excuses for not walking to the library himself. Aubrey was great too. I carried her in a moby wrap.

There were A LOT of stairs. But, stairs are a lot easier than slippery leaf-covered slopes.

Beautiful view from the top of the Natural Bridge

Jess warning Bryce about getting too close to the edge.

Morgan's Wedding

My cousin Morgan had a beautiful outdoor wedding while we were in Idaho. Here are some snapshots of after the wedding.

I took Aubrey to Dad's pickup because she was getting fussy and had to pull out the camera for this sweet smile.

Uh oh, looks like trouble brewing with Bryce and Woodson near the tree...

My sisters Amanda, Elyse (with Everett), and Claire

Activities in Idaho

 Four-wheeling at Mesa Falls. Aubrey and I stayed at the car and enjoyed the peace and quiet of the trees.

Upper Mesa Falls

 The kids and I went with my family to Jenny Lake, on the other side of Jackson, WY. It was so beautiful and we had fun on a little hike and watching Bryce and Woodson play in the water in their underwear (sorry, no pictures).

Bryce fell asleep watching TV with Aunt Claire

And Aubrey fell asleep on Grandma Donnetta's shoulder. Ah... peace and quiet for me for a bit.
It was wonderful to be at home for a while. We really had a great time.

Aubrey's Blessing in Idaho

 I love the smile on Aubrey's face in this picture. The dress is the blessing dress all of my sisters and I were blessed in and my sister Elyse made the headband and found the shoes. My family members were lifesavers getting everything ready for the blessing since we arrived in Idaho the night before! THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!
