Vernal?

Not really our first choice for a family vacation, but it was a family reunion and our hotel was being paid for by my father, and most importantly it is the place where my wonderful Grandpa Noel was born. We were able to see the property were my grandpa lived, and the new house on the property that was built from the bricks of the home my grandpa was raised in.

We also saw a neat antique tractor farm that had the kind of tractors my Great Grandpa may have used. The boys loved this part of our little trip.
I asked Matthew if this was the type of house I could expect within the next few years?

He then pointed to this shack, and said........"probably more like this." Well as long as I can call it my own:)

I thought this picture was cute, however I didn't realize until later the great scenery in the background!
To have a real dutch oven dinner it MUST include four different kinds of cobbler. So good!

Nathan with his cousin Katy, and Daniel with his cousin Annie. They get a long really well with their twin cousins. It's so cute to see them play together. Thet must all realize they have something very special in common:)
The hotel we stayed at was just fine, but it was one of those kind of hotels you stay at when you are not planning on having to be there very much. The carpet was a rusty orange-ish red color, the decor was not great, the tv was old and the bathroom was much older. When we walked into the room the boys just lit up!! They went around the whole room saying "wow, this is so nice!...the tv is so nice....the carpet is so nice..ooohh the bed is so nice....oh wow, what a nice toilet and bathtub." It was so cute to see their excitement for everything. Little children are so easy to please, it was a reminder to me to find that joy and childlike excitement even in the small and simple things.
