summerrrrrr

Okay.. I warn you now that there is a picture overload.. so buckle down and good luck!
At the beginning of the summer, Spencer and I hiked up to Stewart Falls with my parents and the Rowberry's! It was such a pretty hike and a fun waterfall waiting for us at the top. I'm pretty sure Spencer ran up the whole 2 miles with the kids!
Can you spot us on top? We like to climb waterfalls!:)

Spencer's nephew, Josh, came to visit from Texas and so we took him and his cousin to a Bee's game! It was fun to spend some time with him.. he is getting so big!

And then we went to Great Falls, Montana for the Ellingson family reunion! We had so much fun at Spencer's Aunt and Uncles house. They live out in the middle of no where so it reminded me of home. We went fishing at the lake, made pottery, pet the horses, gathered eggs from the chicken coop, slept outside, shot bows and arrows, played LOTS of games, ate good food, and Spencer and his cousins did a ton of paint ball games!
ouch! 

Uncle Andy
Andy showing us his skills! He is a Master Potter!
Spencer's Aunt had these shirts from 1986! I totally jumped on that and wanted them! Now we have matching shirts that I LOVE!

And then we traveled a little south to West Yellowstone where I got to spend some quality time with my parents and brother! My dad rides in the Chief Joseph horse ride every year and he asked if I could drive his trailer from trail to trail this year since my mom and parker were going to ride with him. I ended up not having to drive and so I got to ride 2 of the days in the park! It was so fun to be with them and experience the cowboy ways!
My beautiful parents! 
Parks and Wade kickin it
We went into the park one day and saw buffalo and elk! SWEET! 
My dad and uncle are pretty rad.
After the ride one day we went swimming in the Madison River.. i had to pose.. naturally! 

I got back from the horse ride just in time for the Counting Crows that night. I got Spencer tickets for his birthday! He loves the Counting Crows, so it was fun to go and have him serenade me with his songs!

And then... we went to Washington for some Parrish Family reunion fun! I didn't get many pictures.. but we had so much fun at Silverwood, playing games, playing raquetball, wallyball, swimming, basketball tournaments, card games, and ping pong! so. much. fun!
