A Visit with the Other Allens.

Ok the visit was with ONE of the other Allen families. And it was a blast!! Thank you to Blaine and Tirsa for inviting us for a whirlwind weekend!! First we did a little shopping. Sorry I didn't take any pictures of it. Then we went swimming. Sorry I didn't take any pictures then either. But then we went up into the mountains to Tirsa's sister's cabin and did some repelling. Now that I did take pictures of!! The problem is I took like 86 pictures. So I have been trying to narrow them down to post them. Here are some of them. For the rest of the Allens that we didn't visit this weekend you will probably see all of them in 2 weeks at the reunion! Aren't you so excited?!?



This is looking down from the MEDIUM repelling rock! Wade was on his way down! Hello little tiny people!!



These are totally out of order and I am too tired to figure out how to get them back in order so you are going to have to suffer through some randomness.
Don't these girls look like they are having a blast?

On the way up to the cabin we saw ELK!! They were huge! And they were in the road! There were 10 that Tirsa and I counted and they didn't care that we were there! Then two started to butt heads but I didn't get a picture of that!


Totally cool right?


Ezra... I love this kid. He really really really doesn't like me. Go figure right?


Hannah dropped Luke's glasses into a crevice and Wade had to fetch them out. Isn't this picture hilarious?


Can you see him trying to get them? They came out relatively unharmed, just in case you were wondering.


This is a close as Luke would get to repelling. At one point he said he would do it. That is really good for him, normally he would scream and cry. He is getting braver!!!


This is Blaine repelling. Seriously, I barely could get a decent picture he went so fast. Guess I need a smaller and a faster camera!


This is Lizzie. This is as far as she got on the kiddie cliff. She was so brave!


Bella tried a little too! She got just a bit further than Lizzie. Won't be too long before she is as good as her dad!!!


Wade was having a great time.


Yes, this is my beautiful daughter Hannah hanging from a cliff...... and loving it! Thank you Blaine I think you have helped to create a new thrill seeking junkie. What's next jumping out of planes?

I've always wanted to try repelling...but it never came up.

Love the elk pictures! That's pretty awesome.

So glad you guys came out! We had a blast! I can't wait to see what Ez thinks of you in a week! I bet he'll love you!
