Rexburg Idaho

On our way home we went through Rexburg. We of course needed to visit BearWorld. We kidnaped my cousin Kylie and took her with us to BearWorld, we had so much fun there!

Now entering BearWorld pictures...

This was out third time visiting BearWorld. It was fun having Emma old enough to enjoy it.

Bears are so lazy...

We almost hit this bear...the ranger was making us drive to push the bear out of the road.

Now entering BearWorld gift shop: Nora was scared of the big stuffed bear.

We recreated a past picture of Emma and Richard doing this same pose.

BearWorld also has a area with all the bear cubs and a petting zoo and they have a couple of kiddy rides.

Love Nora's face!

BearWorld has the best petting zoo ever!

Emma fell in love with a cute baby deer named Andy. He was about 3 months old. she wanted to take him home.

Utah

We went to Utah Sep 29th-October 3rd. Here are some of the pictures we took. I wish remembered to take more pictures but you get what you get.

Love the colores!

These trees made me laugh! Can you see it?

I love Aspens!

Just do it!

This last Sunday the 4th I was doing the girls hair and Richard asks if I want to take the girls to Seaside Oregon so they can play on the beach. After much deliberation we made the decision to "just do it!" and made a reservation right before church! So during the last hour Richard snuck back home to get some stuff ready while Nora took a quick nap on the floor.

We had what Richard would say "high speed chases and explosions" within the first 2 hours of our drive. Yes, Richard got pulled over by a police officer and Nora had a diaper malfunction. We changed Nora at Multnomah Falls and she was pretty excited about the waterfall.

We got up the next morning and headed to Seaside. The beach was a bit cold, but it didn't stop the girls from having a blast.

I'm so glad this little peanut can walk now!

This is the first time she fell...she didn't know what to think of the sand.

When she did find out what she thought, she called me over for assistance.

Then after Seaside we drove up to Astoria where The Goonies was filmed and found Mikey's house.

Astoria!

This sign is right at the bottom of the hill to Mikey's house.

We thought it was funny that Emma just posed for us like that. She's got talent!

Mikey's house!

After that we said to each other "Mt. St. Helens is on the way right?" So we set a new course and drove to Mt. St. Helens. I had never been and the last time Richard went was in 1992ish. It was interesting to see the after affects of the eruption still there. It was also interesting to see all the trees coming in all uniformed...looked very "man made" in a cool way.
