Quick trip to Utah

We went to Utah this past weekend. We left Wednesday after school and came back Sunday night. It was really fun, but a quick trip. David's mom, Camille, drew out for a big bull elk tag up in their neck of the woods, so David wanted to help her get it. No bull yet, but they still have 3 more days to hunt, so her and Jack are still hunting. He has lots of crazy stories to tell, and he had a total blast on the mountain. Since they were camping in pretty rough country and it got cold at night, us girls stayed back at the house and did what else? CRAFTS and ate lots of yummy food and stayed up way too late. Nicole (Sam's wife) came up too with her little daughter Camille (named after Grandma, cute huh?) and played with me and Isabel. We decided to make hairbows, and boy did we get busy. I should have taken a picture of the mess we made, but we had so much fun. It was so enjoyable to just relax, let the girls make a big mess of toys and all our ribbon at our feet and make bows with Nicole.

This is up Ephraim canyon where they went hunting. Isn't it beautiful with all the fall colors. I love this place, it is so much fun to go camping up there and we usually go cut a Christmas tree down up here too. Sadly this year, we won't be able to.
Little Camille and Isabel playing with all of Grandma's necklaces.
Isabel is 6 months older than Camille, but they are pretty much the same size. It was so fun to see them interact, even though Isabel was kind of a bully to her. She did like to pat Camille on her head, so much that Camille got sick of it!

Grandma was helping the girls put on lotion. Isabel loved to rub it in her hands and kept coming back for more! She even had to show daddy and shared with him.

We were trying to get a cute picture of them together, but as you can see, they weren't very amused by our efforts. Sam kept making these funny noises to try and get them to look at the cameras, but Isabel started scowling at him for being so weird. It was hilarious, Sam is such a character!

Grandma and Grandpa Bailey. They didn't get to see much of Isabel since they were hunting most of the time and she didn't start to warm up to them until it was almost time to go. But she loves her family. I am excited for my family to get to see her next week. She is so much fun!

Our happy little family. Can you see how exhausted David is? He was so worn out, but he said it was one of his favorite hunts, which I guess is the most important thing. Us girls had fun too, and we were worn out from playing so hard, early morning wakeups and sleeping in the same room as Isabel (she is a noisy sleeper and wakes me up every hour or so with all her noises and whining when she can't find her binky in her crib. Nicole and I had fun eating at our favorite chinese restaurant, attending a wedding of David's stepcousin, eating lots of yummy food at the house and staying up way too late to work on the bows and chat about nothing and everything. David's little sister Rachel was so busy because it was homecoming week. We saw her just a little bit every day and we helped her get ready for the dance.

Just kidding. She had to get dressed up in the 80's for a parade that the school did, so we helped her find this. Isn't it great, doesn't it take you back to the day?

We always love to visit family and are sad when it comes to an end. Next week, we are flying to Spokane to see my family over fall break. We will have a blast there too, so I will take lots of pictures.
