me taking a picture of allison taking a picture of sarah under the old patriarch
Sarah (B's sister) and Allison (B's mom) came for a blitz visit this week. They showed up Monday evening just in time for Liesel's post-bath pre-bedtime shenanigans. I mentioned that she had become much more sassy these days, to which she ran up and said "SASSY!" and started laughing. The next morning we hiked to the Patriarch. Brian's family has a legacy of working and National Parks and Allison had worked here before the road was re-routed. The Patriarch (the massive tree) was a popular photo destination and right on the side of the old road. Now, it's a little hike through sage brush and you have to know where you're going in order to find it-- but quite a gem!
we did the grand animal tour and saw lots and lots of bison (much closer than the photo on the left), pronghorn antelope, a few bears and 3 moose. Not bad for one day!
I love this picture of Liesel holding a butterfly in one hand, clutching a rock in the other with dirt on her face.
I was this close to joining A&S on their cross-country road trip all the way to the east coast (they started in California!) . . . but when we sat down to look at the calendar and realized I would have missed Frank's visit at the end of the month-- we decided to stay. We'll see these guys again before Sarah takes off for her mission in Denmark in August!

How fun to have visitors! Looks like such a beautiful day! That tree is amazing and the weather looks like it's starting to be more summer-ish. L is cute even with dirt on her face! :)
Wow, Denmark -- so cool! Congratulations, Sarah!

How great that you all got to see Allison and Sarah on their road trip to the east coast! And I too love that picture of Liesel holding the rock and butterfuly! That girl is becoming quite the nature lover!
That was definitely the best part of our trip (tied with seeing Edie, Bud, and Mary). I loved seeing you guys and watching Liesel be so pepped about life. :) I will really miss you come August!
Angela, I love the patriarch picture. You could sell that for good money...you're quite the photographer
