Isn't is gorgeous?

It was just right there

Walking around

We were so high

The views were just amazing

Going back down

I love how Connor is holding onto grandpa's leg and Sadie is holding onto grandma's

Hi!

Me and Sophs with Matt

Getting off

We stayed up at Teton Springs and since it is so close to Targhee my parents wanted to take us on the chair lift to go see the Teton's. It was such a gorgeous day! Going up the chair lift was a little scary because you are so high. Connor and Sadie loved it! Then going and seeing the Teton's so closely was unbelievable. It was the best day!

Matt, me and Sophie

My two greatest examples of how not only be a good mom, but a good person

Are there two greater people on this earth? I think not!

So my Grandma and Grandpa Andrus had a reunion at their house! It was so much fun to be able to go and see everyone again. My mom's side of the family has always been super close and we have been able to pass that on to our own individual families. I love my Andrus family. They mean more to me then I will ever be able to express. I loved growing up with all of these people around me to love me and help me become who I am today. I adore my grandparents and thank them for not only being the most amazing example, but their selflessness is something I have sought for. I love you my Andrus Family!

We really want "Bambi" as our pet
This is where Connor was in the petting zoo! Look at his face!
Such cute bears
Our little family in front
Thanks for going Grandma and Grandpa

We were able to go to Bear World with Matt's parents. It was so cool! You see so many animals: elk, deer, buffalo, mountain goats, moose, black bears, grizzly bears and wolves. I think Matt and I liked it more then the kids! We drove through twice and then let the kids go on the rides. It is the cutest little amusement park for kids! They didn't want to leave. Then we went and saw the bear cubs - they were so mischievous ( I think Connor could really relate to them). We went to the petting zoo and Connor was so freaked out and got on Matt's shoulders. Sadie loved the deer! We had such a fun day!
