Seth is 36

One of the perks of Seth's new job is that he gets every other Friday off. We took advantage of his day off on his birthday (June 8), and the family went to Harriman State Park.

Miriam, Analee, Seth, Rebekah and Winnie by Golden Lake. We borrowed Uncle T's Weehoo for Winnie, and we biked around the trails.

Poor Miriam crashed her bike on the only section of "moderate" trail we went on. She ended up with a slightly bloody lip and nose, but the real damage was done to her hip area. She must have hit the handlebars on her way down, because she ended up with these lovely bruises just a couple days later.

 These were on her thigh.

This was on her hip.

But the rest of the bike ride was lovely.

That evening, we ate cake in his honor and retired for the night. The next day, we drove into Yellowstone and spent the day there. We drove to the Old Faithful area and pulled out the bikes so we could ride them to Morning Glory Pool while stopping along the way to see the sights.

Then we drove from Old Faithful to West Thumb, Fishing Bridge, Canyon Village and back to Madison Junction, stopping at a few of our favorite places along the way.

The next day, Seth left the cabin early to drive to Rexburg and attend church with his grandma while the girls and I put the cabin back in order and came home in time to shower, do hair and get ready for our church.
