Family Weekend in Asheville

     This past weekend, my dad's whole side of the family (minus McKendree who was in Vegas) connected in Asheville to celebrate my grandmother's 85th birthday. It was an amazing time - full of coffee, porch sitting, wild turkey chasing, hiking, cooking, talking, reading, and beer. Here are some shots (some iPhone and some dslr) from the weekend!

We did a lot of this in Asheville.

The reason for the weekend - Annie's 85th birthday celebration. LG helped bake the cupcakes.

Joe loves to bring nice cigars to family gatherings. Or send his nieces and nephews to buy them for him. 

Hard to tell but thats a piece of a bright rainbow at sunset

I got some new iPhone apps that I'm kind of obsessed with

Here are some pictures from our trip out West this past weekend. Sorry there are tons! I tried to take out as many as I could, but I just have too many favorites. :) Enjoy a taste of Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana.

At the base of Grand Targhee in the Tetons

Yes that says "Mary's Nipple" - I also bought a sticker that said "I hiked Mary's Nipple" just on principle

We were in Idaho, which meant we needed potato guns
