the east coast!

we went on a trip to the east coast! we met up with yiayia and uncle sean and spent a week split between connecticut, new york, and new jersey. it was a whirlwind trip, but it was so fun to see some of the sights and to see where uncle sean is living and to go to an equestrian show he was competing in. we also got to go spend a day with matt's cousin bria and her two sweet kiddos, visit ripley's believe it or not museum, see the lion king on broadway (WHAT?! it was amazing), and visit central park. After this trip we got to mark off THREE states on our united states to visit map... now we're a fifth of the way through the 50 states. We also celebrated yiayia's birthday and our anniversary. whew! big trip. the actual traveling went exactly like i expected it to go, but matt said never so far again with a toddler. ha. thanks for the memories east coast, we will see you again one day, i'm sure!

warrior dash

matt's mom came to visit for a week and started her trip up here with a 5k run called the warrior dash that she did with matt and john. zac and clay were up here too (for zac's sister's wedding) and zac and i took the boys to cheer them on. it was so dusty and so hard to tell where they were in the race, but zac eventually spotted matt on the top of a big water slide. i wish i would have thought to bring our big camera with the zoom, but sadly i did not. i am thinking maybe next year i will do the race too... we'll see. 

just a little camping

yiayia and papou came to visit for a few days and took beckett on an overnight camping trip. they went to tolt macdonald campgrounds... not too far from us, in case camping got a little overwhelming, but they said beckett did great. beckett loves camping and loves family and was too excited for a little personal time with his yiayia and papou. they wore him out with hiking, and tadpole hunting, and s'more making, and tent building. we're so grateful for fun, active grandparents that come and take our sweet guy on tiny adventures.
