Vacation #2

At the end of June we went on our annual vacation up at Solitude with Brent's extended family. Despite the snow on the ground and lots of mud, it was beautiful weather and we had a great time. Here are a few highlights:



We went swimming-- a lot! Last year Kirstie hated the pool. This year she was going down the slide by herself-- head first! What a difference a year makes!

Ian loved splashing in the water-- he's our little fish. He wasn't too sure about the slide though.




Kirstie and Payton-- our two little trouble makers!



We were a little hesitant to walk on the snow-- it's melting so fast that we weren't positive that it would hold us!



We took lots of walks and enjoyed being in the mountains. We even saw a deer. (Yes, Jeanine came on vacation too, of course. Kirstie can't ever leave her at home.)



Ian found that the coolers were the perfect height to pull himself up to and stand, so he was content!


This year's theme was a birthday party theme. We played some fun party games!



Brent and Kirstie had fun dancing on the Wii. You should see Brent's moves! (Or maybe you shouldn't!) He did great dancing to New Kids on the Block-- that's how I know we are 'made for each other!' Kirstie loved dancing with everyone!



Here's the whole gang-- All 40+ of us! Of course, it'll be outdated soon because after it was taken, Brent's cousin announced that they were expecting again!



These are the 9 great-grandkids in the family!


And the adorable Buchanan grandkids! (Kirstie, Kallie, Ian, Kamden, Sydnee, and Payton).
