August

I think she will miss having dirt once we get our grass.

She is stuck out in the mud.

Putting up the fence!

Ward carnival. It was fun to get to know the members of our ward.

We had a family picnic with our adoption friends. It is fun to still get together with them.

Yellow Stone

We took a family vacation with my entire family including my grandma Taylor.

Aleana and Layla in our little Cabin we stayed three nights in. We were hoping Aleana would sleep on the floor but when we woke up in the middle of the night under the bed we thought it was not the best idea. Poor little girl was so scared. Curt spent most of the nights on the floor.

Walking on a Allen guided tour through the town of Mammoth.

Hiking with grandma to a waterfall. She wanted to go hiking so bad but fell asleep in the car so she was half asleep on the hike.

Relaxing while eating cookies and watching Muppet

Carving wood with Daddy.

Curt carved each of the kids names into a stick.

Layla informed us that this is how you hike.

Bear tooth look out

Aleana loved driving through Lamar Valley and seeing all the Bison, She wanted to get out and pet and hold a baby one.

Our cute little cabin.

Waterfall

While visiting one of the visitor centers we saw some displays about geysers and hot pots. She thought they were cool and kept asking questions about them. So went to show her the geysers and hot pots. She was in her 2 year old language telling everyone how they worked. She is a cute smart girl. This hot pot here is called Dragons breath cave and Aleana kept asking if the dragon was coming out and talking out the the dragons smoke. She loved to tell people about the dragon in the cave.

waiting to see old faithful

After seeing Old faithful the first time we went inside the visitors center and they were playing a video about geysers. We took Aleana and she loved it and did not stop talking about it. I love to see how fascinated she was.

Walking to see geysers near old faithful.

Showing me how the hot water was shooting up up into the air and telling me it was making a loud noise.

Old faithful!

We stayed the last night in old faithful lodge. Our window looked directly out to Old Faithful.

On the drive home we stopped at the zoo in Idaho falls. Aleana finally got to pet an animal and eat french fries which she had wanted to do the whole time we were in Yellow stone. This is a baby Lama. Debbie was excited to see it and pet it as well.
