Our Trip to Washington State

Traveling half way across the country Chris and I went with his family to Matt's wedding. It took us 26 hours to drive there, but the things we saw and did made the trip worth it. This is a picture of a bird I hit leaving Sioux Falls and it stayed on the bumper the whole way there.
Dave, Chris and I posed in the Lewis and Clark museum.

Chris and I took a picture by the Columbus River.

This was a beautiful waterfall that we stopped by.

This is a picture of a glacier in Glacier National Park in Montana.

Chris and I went hiking on a trail called hidden lake in Montana and when you reached the top this was the view. It was breath taking.

Chris and I took a picture at the top of the hiking trail.

On our way back from the hike a baby mountain goat and it's mother walked beside us only about 3 feet away. We could have reached out and touched them.

The trail had snow on it that you had to cross, but the temp outside was warm. It was a crazy feeling.

This was at our camp site in Montana.

Here the girls wrestled with Chris. The girls won.

This was the first view of the ocean we had. It was beautiful.

Uncle Dave made Kinsley into a mummy!

The ocean was so cold that Camdyn ran away from the waves when they came ashore.

Here is a picture of the boys at Cannon Beach. This is the rock that was filmed in the movie "The Goonies".

The boys got to ride bikes on the beach.

Chris, Camdyn and I found this on the beach.

A sweet kiss on the beach.

A day at the beach!

Chris and the girls in the ocean.

Here are the girls running in the waves.

Our Trip to Matt's Wedding

August 1st, 2009

Matt and Leanne got married in Vancouver Washington.

Chris and I, David, his mom and dad, Mark and Carrie and the Girls all drove out for Matt's wedding. Here's Kinsley holding Michelle's flowers.

Here is Uncle Dave and Kinsley.
Here are Chris and I before the wedding. It was 93 degrees outside and since the wedding was outdoors, Chris and the boys about passed out.

Here is Camdyn and I. I curled Camdyn's hair and we wanted to take a picture of our "matching" hair!

This is a picture of Mark and Carrie and the girls.

Here is Camdyn and Kinsley taking a picture with Matt and Leanne. The girls were flower girls for the wedding and they did an adorable job.

Here are the girls smelling and playing with flowers.

Carrie and I decided to match for the wedding. The wedding color was teal so we both wore black dresses and teal necklaces.

Here are the grooms men. Left to right: Chris, David, Matt, Mark and Mike.

Papa D and Kinsley playing peek a boo.

Here's a picture of the tables at the reception.

The wedding cake was beautiful.

Here's Matt giving his mom and dad a hug as he walked them down the aisle.

This is Chris walking down the aisle with his bridesmaid partner Ashley.

This is Chris and Dave up front and apparently they were whispering about how they didn't know if they could make it through the wedding without passing out from heat.

Here are the boys watching Leanne walk down the aisle.

This is when the pastor announce Matt and Leanne as husband and wife!

Yay Matt and Leanne. We are so happy for you two. Welcome to the family Leanne.
