August fun!

We have been enjoying our last month of summer. The weather has been great so we have been outside as much as possible.
Craig's dad organized a hike up Chief Mountain on the long weekend this month. Craig, Jordan, Addison and Braxton attempted the climb. They all made it to the top except Addi who had thrown up about 5 times before they made it half way so she went back down with Granny.

Sydni went to a basketball camp last week in Olds, Alberta. She got to stay in the dorms and the cafeteria food was actually really good. She had a great time and learned a lot.

All smiles before the hike begins!

Addi, probably in between the 3rd and 4th puke.

The Wells family tour

We just got back from a wonderful visit to all our family in the states. Unfortunately Craig and Jordan couldn't come because they had to work. They stayed home and had "man week". Sydni, Addison Braxton and I took off for a whirlwind tour of the homes of my siblings and my parents. We saw Kathy in St. Anthony, Ken in Rigby, my parents in Montpelier, Rich in Pleasant Grove and Keri in Salem. We loved every second of it. It was definitely worth the long drive. Thankfully Syd could drive this year so I didn't have to drive the whole time

All the kids at my sister Kathy's home in St. Anthony Idaho.

My baby sister and me!

We arrived in Montpelier just in time for "Butch Cassidy Days" (yes we celebrate a criminal). This is the reenactment of the time that Butch Cassidy robbed the Montpelier bank. It is quite an event. They shut down main street and everything.

The kids at my brother Brad's house in Georgetown Idaho.

Hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa Wells.

Sydni and cousin Alex at Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City, Utah. It was 101 degrees that day!

Braxton got to hold an African Millipede. He was thrilled.

Addi pretending she is an ape. (Cousin Devin is on the left.)

We went to this really fun place in Utah where the whole warehouse is filled with trampolines. The kids had a blast. That's Syd doing the karate chop in the air!
