Sunroof?


We went to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone - a trip I've been planning for the five of us for a very long time - and we stayed with my cousin Carrie and her family, and my cousin Cindy and her family!

Carrie and Cindy are two of the nine children of my Uncle Dave (my dad's brother) and my Aunt Robin - also in the picture.  

Uncle Dave grew up on the farm just like my dad, and since he was the oldest, he started working with my grandpa at an early age.  He was in the first graduating class at the Air Force Academy, followed then by my brother, Gage!

When we took this picture of Cindy, Barney and family, Cindy said, "Is this going to show up on Truth or Dairy?" Ha!  

To offset the beauty, I included a picture of the barn roof.  There was a wind storm while we were flying, and we landed to this news - the barn roof peeled off, there were eight utility poles ripped out and lying in the road, and there wasn't any power.  It's a great way to kick off a vacation!  There were two other kind-of-emergencies while we were gone, and I don't know when I'm going to be able to shoehorn Kris away again ... but it was totally worth it to see these gorgeous places.  

Ours is pretty gorgeous too.  Between fireflies, cattle on the pasture, berries, flowers ... I love coming back home as much as I love going away.
