Last week, my little family and I got to take a trip to the beautiful Flagstaff for the Lindholm Family Reunion. We do this every summer, and this year we did a short trip up north. Most of the extended family lives out of state, so it's always a blast getting to see everyone! We were only there for three days, but it was the perfect break from the HOT valley heat. We arrived Thursday evening, spent all day Friday at the Grand Canyon, and left Saturday morning. I had so much fun seeing our family, and it was so exciting for Olivia to see/meet some of her extended family! The Grand Canyon was Cameron and I's favorite part. We hiked about a mile in and just enjoyed looking at God's work. This world is truly beautiful and seeing the Grand Canyon was a complete eye opener for me! I miss our family already and can't wait for next summer! Here are some fun pictures I snapped along the way :)
 |
| First night at the hotel, playing some peekaboo with daddy and me |
 |
| How lucky am I to have this guy in my life?! I could just kiss him all day! |
 |
| This is Steve and Kaylynn. I can't even begin to explain how much I love these guys and how inspirational they are to me. They are the ones who came up with the idea to hike the canyon in the first place, and it was one of the funnest hikes I have ever done! |
 |
| Starting our hike! |
 |
| First off, this picture does no justice to how beautiful & BIG the Grand Canyon is. Secondly, I can't wait to go back! |
 |
| "I'm on top of the world, ay!"... (Imagine Dragons anyone??) |
 |
| Yes, he crawled over the side of this, and yes he is wearing cowboy boots. #boyswillbeboys |
 |
| The entrance into the canyon... Daniel was too busy taking it all in to smile I guess... hehe |
 |
| The back side of the canyon, I love how the light illuminated and carried through the inside of the tunnels! |
 |
| Love this woman so much! She has lost over 100 pounds, and she is such an inspiration to me! I'm grateful to have her in my life! |
 |
| We decided to #stopdropandyoga on the edge... Obviously I need more practice. In my defense, this was on our way back UP the canyon, and I was nearly dying. haha |
 |
| Someone needed a little cat-nap after the hike... lucky duck! |
 |
| This was all the guys (besides Grandpa Lindholm, not sure where he was...) and Olivia too! |
 |
| My mother and father in law watched Olivia while we went on the hike in the morning and then met up with us in the afternoon... Olivia was so excited to see us! |
 |
| I'm so blessed to have Wendy on this trip! She was a huge help with Olivia and made everything so much more fun and enjoyable! Especially when it was way past nap time! |
 |
| I think he enjoyed the diaper bag more than anyone... #workit |
 |
| Papa and Olivia! |
 |
| Obviously, the cat nap wasn't long enough... hehe |
 |
| Chillin' with Grandma Lindholm and Daddy! |
 |
| Afterwards, we went and had lunch by the visiting area... Someone had a little too much dessert |
 |
| How could you say no to this face though?! |
 |
| This picture kills me... She is big enough to climb up onto luggage, and the couch and can now pick something up without falling down.... I need to accept that she will be walking soon, but I just can't! I'm not ready! |
All in all, it was a short and sweet trip to see some of the family and enjoy God's work. One of my favorite vacations and I look forward to more to come!
