Glad to be Home

As you can tell (Scroll down to view all 3 slideshows!) we had a great time, but we are glad to be home. We got home about 11 last night after sleeping in 5 different beds, 3 hotels, 1 treehouse, I want to say 1000's of miles driven, some out in the middle of no where!
We first went to Evanston, Wyoming for the Sims Family Reunion and Uncle Dick and Aunt Charlsie's Ranch. We stopped and stayed in Burley to break up the trip and squeezed in a visit to my Grandpa Beck, who is doing okay, my dad goes over to his house a lot and makes him breakfast and takes him to lunch. Then on to Wyoming and horse back rides, 4-wheelers, jewelry making, camping (for Stephen and Beck) a talent show and some Wyoming fireworks, Paisley's first! Beck was a little annoyed with the loud noises, but other than that they both stayed awake the whole time. It was fun to meet this side of the family, it's Stephen's Dad's Mom, Lois's side. Uncle Dick is Lois's brother, she passed away while Stephen was in high school.
Then on to Oregon with a stay in Klamath Falls and then meeting up with my family and finishing the trip. Our treehouse was so cute, a little small, but cute. We were surrounded by hippies which gave us all something to talk about and it was so fun to have all of the family there, Bubba was missing due to work in Seattle, and boy did we miss him, he would have had some great things to say about our surroundings! There was a little pool that was lots of fun and Beck was working on his swimming. We visited the Oregon caves and the rest of the family went to the Redwood Forest while we stayed behind and played. Beck kept walking around looking for his cousins, but I didn't want to get back in a car for more hours than I had to! (We have already visited the Redwoods) Us girls attended a Belly Dancing class which was definitly something everyone should try at least once in their life! After our stay at the treehouses was over we headed to Portland, so Stephen could grab some appts there. We stayed in a hotel next to Brandon and Kortni and their girls, and that kept Beck happy as we swam and they ran back and forth to each other's rooms.
And now we are home, I have 2 more loads of laundry to do, a bunch of sleep to catch up on, one more bag to unpack, and my garden to check on, but for the few hours I did sleep last night, I was sure glad that it was in my own bed!
