a vacation and anniversary

We just got home from our vacation. It was wonderful. Not only because we were all together, with my mom, aunt, and cousin, but because my husband and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary.

Here are a few of my favorite frames of our time.

Iris on a field trip

Not only was the weather amazing, and much appreciated, but the day with the kids was a blast. 

We took two tours, one much better than the other.

Lots of amazing pictures of the kids, especially some great ones of Iris.
