Canada

Here is a picture overview of our wonderful trip to ZION (aka. Canada)(and this is where you tech savvy friends of mine will take pity on me and teach me how on earth to do a slide show so that my post is not a mile long.


We had the chance to see our wonderful friends the Spanos'. It was great to have you come and play with us. We miss you.



Colton had a LOT of firsts this trip. Not only was it his first border crossing experience, but he also got to meet 3 of his great grand parents.

Doug "The Great", with his GQ pose.



Jeannette "The Great".



And Mary "The Great".


He got to see Nana.



Meet his Uncle Sam (Aka, Elder Fairbanks), and his cousins Cannon (8 mos old), and Ryder (2 1/2).



Can you guess which one is Colton? (I always tell my brother, the my kids may be smaller, but they will be WAY faster...)



My mom took Mike and I up to Waterton and we got to go cross country skiing into Cameron lake at night.. It was supposed to be "by moonlight" but the moon forgot to co-operate. Very fun though.



My little sister Cathy got married and we got to take a weekend excursion to San Fran. to go to the wedding. (my youngest brother is on his mission there, and was able to come to the wedding and the family dinner after.) Here he is will all my sisters.... Yes Jenny, you are one of our sisters... despite what Dad said. (he meant well though)



Mads and Halle LOVE grandpa, and have him wrapped around their fingers.



One of my mom's neighbours has horses, and took the girls on a buggy ride, and yes that is horse poo on the road. In Raymond, that is not uncommon. (it still is Zion).




On our way home we had a layover in Chicago. So we got to play at the play-place there...







We had a great trip, and we will miss everyone.

Wow! I didn't realize your trip was so jam-packed! These pictures are so cute and it looks like you had fun. I'm getting confused on which location really is "Zion" though... Cedar City, Monticello, or Canada? All terrific locations though!!!
