Trip To Wyoming

The first of June we took a trip to visit my parents in Wyoming. It has been almost 3 years since our whole family visited and I was excited to go home. I was not looking forward to the almost 11 hour drive so we broke it up a little bit. The first night we drove 3 hours to Rock Springs, WY and stayed in a dive hotel! Ever since Spencer worked for Marriott and got great discounts, we've become hotel snobs. It's hard going to a no-name hotel and paying a lot of money for it. Our room was....awful! There bits of food still on the floor and stuff in the sheets and the whole room smelled of smoke. But it being 9:45pm and nowhere else to go, we didn't really have much choice but to buck up!
We drove the rest of the way the next day which happened to be Spencer and my 10 year anniversary. It's so crazy that 10 years have gone by. Part of me feels like it went by too fast, but another part feels like it's been longer than 10 years (in a good way). I still love this man and am so thankful for him in my life.

We decided to take the kids to Devil's Tower and hiked around the tower which is about 1.5 miles. There are rocks at the base of the tower and Ayden, Ellie and Tate thought they needed to climb each one. Spencer even joined in a couple times.

It was a hot day and by the time we had walked around the whole base of the tower, we were all hot and ready for air conditioning and cold water

Ayden was so happy to have walked around the entire base of Devil's Tower. He kept saying "wow Mom, I'm so glad we did that." Me too, buddy.
