Barker Family Vacation 2009

We spent a week in Jackson, Wyoming with a day spent in Yellowstone. I love family vacations. I love the gorgeous mountains. I love my family most of all.

The only downside to this trip was the crazy stomach bug we all got. I started it all the day before we left--12 hours of violent vomiting and then its done. It was horrible but at least short lived. Unfortunately, I had to do quite a bit of cleaning up after sick kids the night Jared was also sick. Amazingly, Asher never got it. I say it was breast milk immunity.

Now back to the pleasant stuff. I give you highlights of the trip.


Asher became a lover of sunglasses.


He also loved playing with Uncle Nick's computer and drawing with Uncle Nick.


Pretty flowers.


Waiting for Old Faithful.


The wind was blowing towards us as the geyser was going, blocking our view of the water. Kinda disappointing.


We ate lunch by the river in Yellowstone.



Then it was off to the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone...gorgeous.




Cuteness.


Coolness.


Asher going for a ride on Grandpa in Jackson.


One of the days we went white water rafting which was tons of fun but we couldn't bring cameras so there are no pictures. My dad stayed behind with Asher and took him for a ride up the tram. He took this at the top.


I've already posted this, but here is the family pic we captured via tripod and timer while there.


Much thanks to my parents for this wonderful vacation!
