Vacation 1 - Gillis Cabin with the Flemings

Nate's parents were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this summer, so we headed out to Idaho for a reunion with Nate's 8 siblings and his parents to celebrate.  I drove out with Max and Elise and had my mom join me a week before the reunion so we could visit my dad and step-mom, my brother Daniel and his family, grandparents and Hyriam and Sunny and family.  This is our first year that Nate was able to get so much time off!  We were able to him with us for a whole week! 

Our first few days my mom, Hyriam and family and me and my kiddos were able to stay at my grandparent's cabin in the Uinta Mountains - my most favorite place to visit.

The whole time we were there, some shepherds were driving their sheep up the mountain to pasture (or so we guess). It took days!  This was day one - blocking our road on our way to the cabin.

McKenna and Elise playing in the creek (many memories at this creek).

Max and Livia at Mirror Lake (they were kind of inseparable - years of play as young children must keep them bonded still)

Day 3 of the sheep transport.  This shepherd let McKenna and Elise pet the worn out lamb.  He's holding tin cans that they shake at the sheep to keep them moving up the road or out of thickets (which they loved to hide in for shade and food).

I think I was tired in this picture, but this is me with the four, and yes, they will probably all pass me in height very soon!
