Lots of pictures because we have lots of cute kids

 

Swimming with my old roomie Jocie at her parents’ house—Conner is like, “Don’t talk to me—I’m concentrating on staying up here people!”

These next pictures are from our little trip we took to California.  My mom and step dad were renting a house right by his daughter and her family for a few weeks so we came up and stayed with them for a few days—and they thought they could get away from us—ha ha ha!!

Really, my Mom is such a gracious hostess.  She always makes everyone feel so welcome and special when they come to see her, and she always goes out of her way to make us comfortable.  So it was really nice—oh, and the house they rented was in these beautiful mountains with a gorgeous lake down the road, so that made it nice as well!  We did swim at the lake, but I didn’t get ANY pictures!!  It was really nice.

 

We took a little trip to San Diego while we were there since we were pretty close to see the new Mormon Battalion Museum and the beach—Conner stayed with Grandma.

The museum was AWESOME—it has been all redone.

Logan became a soldier at the museum, but then got in some trouble or something at the schoolhouse later.

The pictures from the beach are on Jack’s phone—I obviously was not a great documenter. 

 

 

On Saturday we went to this campground place with Lyle’s daughter’s ward for the 24th of July.  They had a yummy breakfast, other activities, and a fun hike.

These are from the hike.  See the guy behind Angie?  He was our guide on the hike and taught us TONS about all the plants—even what we could EAT.

We hiked to this spot called “Heart Rock” and that is a natural formation in the rock below Sunny—pretty awesome—it’s bigger than it looks.

There were also pools there—and look, I was on this vacation as well.

So of course they had to swim—in their clothes because we had no suits.

Does this look familiar?  We found out that this camp was the spot where Disney filmed “The Parent Trap” with Lindsey Lohan—and they also filmed by the lake where we swam.  So, I really feel bad about what happened to her now because it’s pretty much like we’re close friends now.

Well, thanks for coming this far with me.  Hope everyone enjoys these last few weeks of summer.

Looks like fun! Yeah I always have to remind Justin to take at least a picture or two of me to prove I was there with the family.
