Summer's last hurrah: Part 1

Not a bad looking group!
Dancing the night away
Dancing queens (belly and all!)
Hello, Brownie & Ginger










After working 3 night shifts in a row, I came home, slept for 2 hours and then we were off for our last hurrah of the summer. First stop: my cousin Andrea's wedding atop the mountain in Steamboat Springs. Weddings are always fun, but this one was spectacular! We rode the gondola to the top of the mountain where the ceremony took place and stayed late into the night. The kids had an absolute ball on the dance floor (and if you know Kinley, she had no trouble shaking her booty out there) and it made us all that much more excited for my brother's wedding in October. Today, we took off for Utah and arrived at Doug's parents' house. We head for his family reunion in Manti on Wednesday. Until then, we will enjoy the calm before the storm (there are 16 adults and 24 grandkids just in Doug's immediate family all staying in one place)! The kids love being here and watching them soak in all the love from Grandma and Grandpa is wonderful. Kaiya was thrilled to see two horses in Grandpa's pasture and I enjoyed wandering into his fabulous quarter acre garden and helping myself to raspberries and tomatoes. It just doesn't get any better than than a sliced tomato right off the vine(right, Kris?).
