Where do I begin?! Seriously I have no idea…. We had the most wonderful trip and I have like 80 pictures which I know I can’t post all of. So which do I tell about and which do I leave out? Well, I think I will take this post in pieces so I don’t overwhelm anyone.

Hallie loved helping Grandpa Crane in the garden. It combined 3 of her favorite things: Grandpa, helping, and being outside!

After working so hard in the garden Hallie was a little dirty. Grandpa volunteered to bathe her in the kitchen sink. (I guess that’s how he used to do it in the good ol’ days.) haha

One of the two reason’s we made the trip. Ben’s younger brother Brogan got married to his sweetheart Stacey. It was such a beautiful ceremony in the Salt Lake Temple. What made it even better was the fact that I was sitting next to my handsome eternal companion. Marriage ROCKS!

We were able to meet Stacey the day before the wedding. Talk about cutting it close! We went out to breakfast and enjoyed getting to know Stacey just a little bit before she joined our family. A funny side note: Hallie liked Stacey way better than Brogan even though she has met Brogan several times and she only just met Stacey. Welcome to the FamDamily Stacey! We love you already!

While waiting for pictures outside the Temple Hallie and Aunt Marci looked for ants. (Hallie’s new FAVORITE thing to do.)  Between looking for ants every time they were together and calling Marci “Aunt Marci” Hallie connects Marci with the little black ants. 🙂

More searching for ants.
