This year for the 24th we headed to my Dad's hometown of Escalante. Kellie & Ryker drove up Friday morning and then we loaded all 3 kids in the back of the car and took off. Ellie loved having Ryker right next to her and they were cracking each other up as we crossed Cedar Mtn. We had to take a short break in Hatch and feed Cooper (the only place we could find was the grass at the church) then they all fell asleep for the rest of the drive. Once we made it there, Ellie went on a Razor ride over to the farm. She loved the sheep, goats, horses, and even the farm dog:) The rest of the night the kids wore themselves out running around my Aunt's yard.
Saturday we enjoyed the small town parade. Ellie's favorite was Smokey the Bear, she wanted to be by him & shower him with hugs. Ryker, on the other hand was not to sure about him. They loved sitting in their chairs and collecting TONS of candy. After the parade we rested, played, & visited at my Aunt's until it was time for the family reunion/BBQ. It was great to see everyone and enjoy a small town celebration.
Then we went back to my parents cabin for a few days. Ellie helped Grandpa with things outside and enjoyed a few movies:)
Favorite chair, Lucky Charms, Water, & waiting for Chipmunks!
We also went looking for Elk, Ellie loved the binocular's and then fell sound asleep on the drive back.
While Cooper did a LOT of this.
We had a great time, but missed our Dad, he was doing a LOT of this!
SURPRISE!! we moved into a new house this weekend and are still trying to get it put together. I will post some pics when things are somewhat put away!

I will always have a special place in my heart for Escalante. What a great town. I'm glad you guys had a fun 24th. And Ryker and Ellie are both a couple of little toe heads! They are starting to look more like siblings than cousins.
