Annual St. John's Getaway

We look forward to our annual vacation to visit Grandma West in St. John's! We love being with Grandma, enjoying the beautiful White Mountains weather, and RELAXING to no end. :) A lot of our family tries to make it every year and we all camp out at Grandma's house. Literally....Madyson, Jadeyn, Lexy, Bridgett, and Tristan all slept in a tent in Grandma's yard because all the adults took up the inside sleeping quarters. Tristan was of course in heaven to be camping out with his cool big cousins, and they're always so awesome to include him and have fun with him. My Uncle Bill and Aunt Penny always come over from Flagstaff when we're there so it's really like a relaxing family reunion every year. We love going to Grandma's!

My Ma, Tristan, and Grandma swinging on the famous swing that my Grandpa built 20 years ago.

Playing with Grandma West's toys on the front porch.

Perfect picture of what we do here...drink sodas and chat. Some of my favorites are listening to Grandma talk about her life, and hearing old stories about Grandpa. It's seriously the best!

Riding the tandem bike with Uncle Tom. Tom ran a 10K while we were there and did it in great time...especially with the altitude difference. Go TOM!

Teaching Tristan how to ride a long board.


Waiting for the St. John's Pioneer Day parade to begin!


My cousin Annie brought over this huge blow up water slide that all the kids had fun with on the hottest afternoon we were there. Tristan has been asking me if we can buy one ever since. :)
