Grant's wedding!!

We drove 13 hours to Idaho Falls to attend the sealing of my brother Grant and his fiancé, Hailey!

We reached 10,000 miles on our van on this trip

Stopping at McDonald's for a few Happy Meals

We stopped in Cedar City for the night, since it's about halfway.

The first thing we did when we got to the hotel was go swimming!

Trevor trying out the enormous lifeguard chair, that basically sits in the pool.

Did they really use those things?

The kids had been super good on the trip so we got them a little dessert at Chili's

We drove through Kalie's mission on the way up!

None of us had been to Idaho before, so it was really cool to see it!

All the farmland made reminded us of Indiana and all the green and water reminded us of Norway. It is really beautiful and scenic.

Right when we got there, we went to the Idaho Falls Zoo with Aunt Kalie and Uncle Kyle!

Watching the penguins being fed.

A huge chicken for Grandma

Feeding Tina!

Maddie bravely drinking from the lion's mouth

The tiger was sleeping in the bottom corner of the cage, so we tried to wake it up by throwing a few wood chips at it. It didn't really work.

They had lots of cool animals, lions, tigers, bears, camels, snow leopard, even a baby alligator and lots of exotic birds.

Watching the sea otters

This one swam right up to us!

The zoo is at this huge park that has a bunch of rides and fields around it

Playing at the park afterwards

Trevor with his early birthday present that Kyle helped him get

Kinley finally warmed up to Aunt Kalie by the end of the night

Texas Roadhouse!

Trevor practicing his golf swing.

The weather was so perfect!

This is the backyard of the AirBnB house that we stayed in. It was really nice and fun to all stay together.

It was great catching up with my family and spending time with them, even though it was only a short time.

Kinley in her adorable dress!

She fell asleep on the way to the temple.

The sealing was great and we are so happy for Grant and Hailey to start their lives together!

We took a few family pictures while we were waiting on the grounds

At the reception later that day.

Hailey's parents had an entire playground on their property!

Kyle and Kalie came too!

Trevor and I had the king size bed.

Kinley slept with us and like this most of the night.

We weren't planning on stopping in Provo on our way to Cedar City but we were about 20 minutes away and called Kevin and Mikell on a whim to see if they wanted to meet up with us for lunch. They agreed and we got to see them! It was really fun catching up with them! The only downside being that Kinley cried almost the whole time because she is scared of everyone.

The funny thing is that before they sat down, I kept telling her about Mikell and how she was super nice. So, then when we left, Kinley stopped crying and was like, "Mikell, super nice!" Lol, then why were you screaming your head off the whole time???

We got Dairy Queen in Cedar City.

We are happy to be home and had such a fun time!
