Summer Outings

Now that winter is here I'd like to share some pictures of some of the outings we went on this summer.  When Brynn was about 2 months old I think, Sage got a long weekend off and we decided to make the most of it.  Sage wanted to go to California, I voted for Billings.  Expense and expediency won out and to Billings we went.  Aubrey was just happy we were in a hotel.  This is a picture of her after we went to the vending machine down the hall.

This is what we spent some of our time doing.  Swaddling Brynn until she fell asleep and watching TV.  We also went to a little water park.  

 

 Here we are at the rodeo.  It was $18 a person so I don't think we'll be going again any time soon, but it was fun and Aubrey liked it.  It was a long rodeo but Brynn managed alright.

This is Aubrey with some of my cousins at the Cowley's Day Parade.  Its a wonderful parade: not too long, lots of interesting floats and animals, and lots of candy!  It was a fun day and Aubrey had a lot of fun with her cousins (second cousins I think is the correct term).  She hadn't seen them since the summer before but she remembered pretty quickly.

 

This was Brynn's reaction to the Medicine Wheel.  We went up to see it while Dawn and Bryan were up for Cowley's Day.  We packed the kids so maybe this was her commentary are being hauled around so roughly at so tender an age.

 

This was the best family picture we got which wasn't that great because Aubrey was upset about something and we couldn't get her to smile.  She perked up later though.

 

We had a picnic afterward and this is Aubrey's reaction to the little half-size pops that her Grandma brought for her. 

Brynny Bear just relaxed in the shade while we ate.  What a good tempered baby. Usually. :)

 

This was Aubrey at the fair.  She was so excited to be on a ride by herself!
