We went to Utah right over the Fourth of July for a much needed family vacation and to get a rough idea of homes and neighborhoods for our upcoming move. We were able to take in the Provo Fourth of July Parade:
Brad and the older two kids hiked the "Y" as part of the Gunnell Family Reunion that was going on at the same time. Cass was "pregnant", or so she says, so she stayed at the house with Olivia:
After Brad got back from taking the Utah Bar Exam, the family went into Longmont for their annual Classic Car Cruise where hundreds of hot-rods and classic cars drive back and forth on Main Street.
In August we decided we needed to get to Rocky Mountain National Park before we moved away:
The kids all completed their booklets and became Junior Park Rangers:
Saw lots and lots of elk:
And generally pretended to get along:
Brylie was SOOOOO excited to start Kindergarten, and that meant our first "back-to-school" father's blessing:
And our first bus ride--she can hardly contain her excitement, and the other kids were/are plenty jealous:
And in the way of "oh yeah, we forgot about that" things, we went to a massive hot air balloon launch in May. It wasn't even the main event, but that meant the crowd was smaller and we still got to see 20 balloons launch and were able to get right up next to the ballooners.
More updates will follow once we dig into camera phone photos and once #4 makes her grand entrance.

You guys have such fun adventures!
So fun to catch-up! I have lots of comments: 1. I took Robbie to a classic car gathering in a local parking lot (not nearly as cool as a parade, but still free!) We both had a great time! 2. Those elk lounging look so cool!! 3. Your pic of Brylie waiting for the bus and you/the kids waiting for the bus is precious! 4. We have always wanted to go watch hot air balloons but haven't. Looks fun!
We are thinking of you and hope all goes well with the upcoming arrival of #4! Congrats on passing the Bar, (again!) Brad!
