Summer Trip to Worland, WY

We had a wonderful trip to Worland this summer!  It's always a huge highlight for me and an extra special treat to be there with my family.  We were able to leave on Saturday, July 4th to go up  (Emily was finishing at EFY so we couldn't go any sooner).

The drive was great - Jon came off a night shift and slept the best he could.   The rest of my family had already been in Worland for a few days, so when we pulled up to the house, everyone was there to help us carry our stuff in.

We had a fun Independence Day celebration with a delicious BBQ and sparklers (there were heavy firework restrictions in Worland).  




 Mike & Mandy - he must be pretending to be in parade :)












After dinner, we attempted some patriotic pictures! (I'll let the pictures do most of the talking...)















 (Evidence of how hard it is to get all 7 to cooperate)


 My mom & dad with all their grandkids - except 1!
Poor Remmy wanted nothing to do with it!

 Now with them all - including Jack


 Uncle Bruce with my cousin Meg and her girls - Lucy & Nora






 Uncle Bruce lined up all the kids in the alley and got his blow torch out to light their sparklers













 I think Jake got a spark on his arm - poor guy was obviously not very happy about it







After that, there weren't many pictures.  Unfortunately, I developed a breast infection and was miserable!   But, we still had a great time!



On Sunday night, we celebrated Uncle Bruce's retirement after 40 years with Pacific Power!  We sure love this guy and it was fun to celebrate him.  We wrote a list of 40 things we love about Uncle Bruce!









One of the last days, we headed to the Washakie County Museum!











Worland - you never disappoint!  A huge thank you to Aunt Claudia & Uncle Bruce for literally putting up with a house FULL of people!  We love you so, so much!
