Summers Over...

..and this picture perfectly captures how it went. We played hard to the point that swimming suits as pajamas just happened some days.

We did a little traveling as well. We spent a week in Utah visiting family and taking our second annual trip to Solitude Ski Resort just east of Salt Lake. If forgot to charge my camera battery so no pictures but the girls loved the water slide and playing outside. The most fun they had probably came from playing in the creek and the sprinklers.


My sister, Jessica, walked at BYU graduation while we were there. This means all 6 of my siblings are BYU graduates and I remain the one hold out at the University of Utah.

As part of the graduation festivities Rob wanted to hold an Ice Cream Eating contest. The only other participant was Matt. Supposedly Rob won but he was eating frozen yogurt not ice cream and Matt had his appendix out the week before so it wasn't a clear victory.

While at graduation we were able to get a picture of all but one grandchild in the family.
We are missing one nephew. My sister, Emily, had her baby just a few days before we all were toghether. I am one of 7 children and we now have a grand total of 6 nieces and nephews. Apparently we are not one of those prolific families. I am alright with that since I will no longer be contributing to the growth.
