Family

We had a great weekend. Candise & Jesse and children were here for the weekend. How we miss them. It was awesome to have all 6 children here to visit and have fun with. All 8 grandchildren were running around. We miss the hustle and bustle of having all the children around. Our children and their families bring so much joy to our lives. It is hard to believe that love continues to grow instead of being divided. Our cup runneth over!

Bar J Wranglers

We had a great dinner and show at the Bar J Wranglers. As always, Grandpa Price got us front row center seats.

Jackson Hole


We took Brandon & Amy to Jackson to Bar J Wranglers for Brandon's birthday. We went down town and visited the Mangy Moose... one of our favorite walking around places.

Price Grandchildren

During Candise and Jesse's visit (who live in New Mexico), we got all of the grandchildren together for an update of our grandkids family pictures. The hardest of all to take pictures of were the 2 2-year olds... Kyson & Jayden...Very good escape artists. My daughters turned into clowns to keep their attention enough to finally take their pictures.Can you believe we finally got one good picture after over 100 pictures taken? What work that was! but, we can't wait to do it again.

Going Home

We are leaving the Redwood Forest and heading home. It got extremely hot! 109 degrees! It is time to STOP the VAN and look for a place to get wet and cool off. Justin, Jesse, Aaron and I found a crystal clear river and jumped right in... yes, with clothes and shoes on! Wow! It felt so good! It only took 20 minutes to dry off in the heat. After lunch, kids needed a break out of carseats. We found a city park and played... but some of us took a long needed rest. After the break we started for home. We made it home about 11:00 p.m. Thursday night. It was a trip to remember and now only a memory. I guess we will have to start planning our next adventure for next summer!

Almost home

Redwood Forest

The Redwood Forest was everything I thought it would be and more! The gigantic trees were amazing. New trees were growing and living off of fallen trees... with the roots growing around them. "Big Tree" was more that 21 feet in diameter at the base... and more than 10 stories tall! They think it is about 1500 years old. We had a blast walking through the different parts of the forest.
Jesse, jealous of those on motorcycles... decided to get on and ride his... (VAN)! What a character! Next, we all took our turn driving through a tree! What a fun day!

The Golden Gate Bridge & The Pacific Coast

After San Fransisco and the Golden Gate Bridge, we toured up Route 1, the scenic view of the Pacific Coast. We can hardly wait to see the Redwood Forest!
I had always heard how beautiful they were. We are about to find out.

San Fransisco & the Golden Gate Bridge

First 2 days of our Redwood Trip

On July 6th, at 1:30 PM we started on our trip to the Redwood Forest. Those on motorcycles were, Aaron & Cynthia, Justin, and Eric. In the van was... Jesse & Candise, Aurora, Aliana, and Kyson, & Krista and 2 month old Colten. Justin & Eric traded off with Jesse so he got a chance to drive a motorcycle too. It was a very long first day. We made it to Reno. The next morning we drove to San Fransisco and spent the afternoon on the warf and Pier 39. Then, over the Golden Gate Bridge about 50 miles to our motel.
