Our biggest feat of the summer was the Brewer family reunion! It was held in a little town right outside of Yellowstone national park. It was gorgeous weather and gorgeous scenery too! Jordan and I, being on a very strict budget, rode in the 12 passenger van with all his younger brothers and sisters all the way up to Idaho. Craziness!!! I think there were 10 of us in the van and occasionally Jordan's little nephew would ride with us too. Its been a while since I've been in a van that full! The drive was somewhere around 20hrs. But we had some exciting stops along the way and took lots of pictures! On the first night of our road trip we stopped in Salt Lake and spent the night at Jor's G-ma and G-pa Baldwins who are currently serving a mission there.
The Salt Lake Temple
We were able to do a session here the next morning before we had to get back on the road again. Nolan, my father n law, made it a point to try and stop at every temple we drove by. Here we are at the Logan Temple.
The Logan Temple was soo BEAUTIFUL!
We just did a quick drive by of the Idaho Falls Temple.
Once we finallyy got there we were pooped! The family reunion involved Jordan's moms side and most of them were able to make it. It was lots of fun hanging out with all of them and getting to know them. They were all awesome and nice! I think there was somewhere around 45 people that came and everyone crammed into the same house! Not that the house wasn't big but it was just a LOT of people.
So the third day of the trip everyone went to Yellowstone, which was mostly just more driving, but we saw some pretty amazing sites!
I don't know how this happened but its pretty beautiful!
Doug, Jor, Daniel, Kaley, and Taylor at one of the many geysers we stopped at. Old Faithful! We barely made it to see Old Faithful. We had to run from the parking lot to make it there on time.
Top Model!!
Sooo pretty out there!!
This rainbow was at a waterfall called Lower Falls...I think. We had to hike down a very steep, metal staircase with about 350 steps. The hike out was pretty trechorous, definetily could feel the burn.
My new hat! Hot tubbin! We had lots of fun up in Idaho! I am so lucky to be apart of such an amazing family. Cant wait for the next reunion!!
On the way home we stopped at the Rexburg Temple. The temple is on top of the biggest hill in town so everyone can see it And thats the trip in a nutshell!
For some reason the computer won't publish it the way I really made so sorry if its hard to read!
