My Vacation Out West! :) {Travel}

I recently got back from visiting my relatives out west in Idaho...I had a wonderful time seeing family and spending time with relatives I only see once a year!

I loved shopping downtown with my cousin at all these cute boutiques, spending time with aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents, watching and going to movies, special dinners and time with family, swimming at my aunt's beautiful pool, shooting my parent's reunion picture (a post to come later on this), looking up at the stars while listening to taylor swift, going to tons of AMAZING fast food restaurants lol, walking places with my cousin, shopping with my mom, eating my grandma's incredible meals, etc!!

Out in the west life is so much slower and relaxing so it was nice just to be able to slow down life!

Me and my cuz, Lily! We only see each other about once a year but we have a total blast together! :D I stayed with her for several days while my parents were in Canada for their anniversary. When I got to her house, our sweet aunt had left us each gift cards for shopping downtown!

We had so much fun together, walking downtown, renting tons of movies, shopping, watching lots and lots of What Not to Wear's, swimming, getting sno cones, etc!

My mom and dad had their high school reunion while we were there. My mom and dad met in highschool so its nice that they have the same class and know the same people. One of the weekends they had a picnic for all the families to come and meet each other.

My sweet aunt asked me to take some pictures of her and my uncle. My aunt and me are the total picture people in the family. Between the two of us we are taking constant pictures and my family gets pretty annoyed lets just say!
