Vacationing

We are so grateful for Bud's and Leslie's help on the house. It would have taken Aaron forever to install the electrics all by himself, with all the questions and mistakes that accompany such a job. Thanks to them, it took less than two weeks, and then Aaron was free to accompany my mom and me on trips.
I wanted my mom to thoroughly enjoy herself during her first time in the United States. Here's where we've been:


Yellowstone National Park



Aaron made good friends with a dragon fly... The little guy landed on him and wouldn't leave for the longest time.

Jackson Hole, Wyoming


I noticed that Jackson is very posh. It's the Aspen of the Tetons. We mostly enjoyed the art galleries and the little park in the middle of Town Square. We kept it to just a one day visit, because hotel rooms were extraordinarily expensive, and I didn't feel up to camping in a tent. ;)

Salt Lake City

 Through it all, I've had some small health problems, not a big problem in themselves, but every time something got better, something else went wrong - like me getting a kink in my back from bending to pick up a piece of clothing from the floor. My lower back became very painful and stiff, and I walked around like an old lady. It's getting better, though, thank God.
Otherwise, I just love being pregnant and feeling our baby doing workouts. ;) Only 11 and 1/2 weeks to go... We have a crib, which we bought from friends, and a bassinet, which my mom gave us. We feel very blessed in every regard.

Wasserfälle

Wir sind glücklich, dass Mutti bei uns ist. Da Aaron und sein Vater noch an der Elektrik des Hauses arbeiten mussten, haben Mutti, Aarons Mutti und ich ein paar kleine Ausflüge gemacht. Hier sind wir bei den Mesa Falls gar nicht weit von Rexburg.
Bei den St. Anthony Sanddünen waren wir auch, das heißt, wir waren in der Nähe, da wir den Weg direkt zu ihnen nicht finden konnten. ;)
Außerdem waren wir noch in Idaho Falls am Grünen Gürtel und in Rexburg.
Währenddessen hat Aaron hart gearbeitet...
Zum Glück ist er niemals vom Dach gefallen!
