Today was quite relaxing (physically). We didn’t hike a bunch of miles and we were able to partake of much more air conditioning than we did yesterday! 🙂 We got up early and after breakfast, went down to St. George. We did a session at the temple, and then did a little shopping at Deseret […]
What a WONDERFUL but extremely exhausting day we had today! We got up early, had a GREAT breakfast, got to know the Spanish couple a little bit that was staying there, and went into Zion National Park to spend the day. You can no longer drive up into the park’s scenic drive due to congestion.
This morning we got up early, picked up Alec and his friend and drove down to Provo to drop the kids off at EFY. The girls were SO excited! The boys and Kirstyn were excited to spend the week with Grandma and Grandpa Halliday without having their older sisters around! 🙂 When we got down
This morning, we got up, ate breakfast, packed everything up and started our drive back down into Utah. As we drove through Franklin, ID, we stopped and saw Angela’s grandmother’s old stone home that is still there, and then drove over to visit the grave of her Aunt Ann. It is amazing to see how
The past two days have been a lot of fun! Most of our time we have spent swimming in the pool. Downata is a hot springs and so the pool was very warm on very warm days. It took some time to get used to the hot water in hot weather, but the kids had
Today we had a very busy day! We got up early, ate breakfast, and then the boys and I wandered a round the ski village for awhile. We took lots of pictures and had a great time! Too bad we couldn’t have spent more time there, got day passes, and then went on the alpine
We got up early this morning, had breakfast at the hotel, and then drove to Park City, Utah to meet up with Grandma and Grandpa Halliday, Chantelle, and the boys. They were really excited to see us. They have a timeshare with Marriott and they have a nice place up in Park City, right at
Today, we left for our two week vacation out to Idaho and Utah. We are very excited for the break from all the responsibilities we have. We will be spending a day in Park City with my family, then going up to Idaho and spending a couple of days with Angela’s sisters and their families
Today, Ben and Zach finished swimming lessons and boy were they bummed when the lesson was over. They want to take another set of lessons when we get back from our trip. We’ll see. They did a great job and they had great teachers. We’re going to practice a bunch with them when we go
Today, Kirstyn harvested her first vegetables from the garden! They were beautiful radishes and she was very happy about that as you can tell from the picture! 🙂 She can’t wait to see what comes up next! The garden is looking a little dead right now due to the intense heat and lack of rain.
Today, Kirstyn started her Northern Illinois University Summer Engineering Camp (NIU-EEP) that was part of the program she started on Saturdays not long ago. The program buses them out to NIU in Dekalb every day and they spend the whole day there learning about engineering, completing projects, and going on field trips. She loves the
Well, only one more year until she can date… That’s the first and foremost thing on Brittany’s mind today on her 15th birthday! She is quite the funny girl and she definitely keeps our family laughing at how boy-crazy she is! 🙂 It’s hard to believe that our little “itty bitty” is already 15 and
