Our annual summer trip to Idaho began mid-July this year with a four day action packed stop in Utah. The highlight of those adventures was seeing Grandpa whom, if you would have asked us a couple of months ago, would not have been on the "we will see" list. We are so glad that he is on the mend and hope he will soon be back out in the mission field.

We love to see Grandma too of course.

We hung out in our pajamas (this was the first day after driving through the night.)

We went the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point with the cousins.


We went swimming .

We saw Aunt Emily (and Uncle Diego).

We pulled taffy.

We hung out some more after touring the BYU campus.

We went up the canyon to see the mountains that we don't have in Iowa.

We even rode the ski lift at Sundance.

We had lunch with some very special friends who used to live in Iowa.

We swam some more, this time in Andrew's pool

and had a big water fight with Uncle Brian.
