Grand Canyon

Fun in the water

The week before we started on this vacation I tried to get in a few things with everyone.

First we went to Downata hotsprings with Daniel.

Here are the big slides - Brendon is up there waiting in line. Here is Brendon waiting for Wesley to finish coming out of the slide. Here is Max playing in the little kids splash area.Then I took Wesley and Max to the splash park in Rexburg. Lydia took the twins, and Krista showed up with Neil.

The little kids really didnt like the water raining down on them but I think they all had fun.Then on Thursday we went to Jensen's grove in Blackfoot with my friend Dana and her family

Here is a cute close up of Max.Max and Tara in the water. and Jordan walking up.Then Saturday before we left we went to the Zoo with the twins .

Trip to Spokane

We went over to Spokane to visit some of Daniel's family. Dannie(brother) lives in Bremmerton WA. He's in the Navy. His Daughter Emily went up to visit him for the summer. Barbara (Daniel's mom) is staying with them. --- So we met in Spokane since Dannie couldn't come all the way to here.

Here is a shot of the front passenger tire after it lost most of the tread. We had a spare and all the tools to change it. LOL - This was the first out of town trip, and the first time we had to take off one of the tires.

Brendon's 2nd year of Cedar Badge

Bren went to Cedar Badge with Boy Scouts again this year. Its a BoyScout leadership camp. He had alot of fun. And learned alot. I'm so happy he loves scouts and enjoys doing it.

Daniel went to pick him up from WY and took a "detour" on the way and was a bit late to the graduation. But he did snap a couple cool pictures and wasn't late picking Brendon up and Bren says thats all that mattered.
