8th Annual Lake Tahoe

We took Danny's friend, Blake, with us to Tahoe this time.  We had a great time as usual.  We floated the Truckee River, went fishing and swimming at Donner Lake (which Seth absolutely adored), kayaked and jet skied at Sand Harbor, played games, Danny and Blake were human pinatas for the little kids where they had candy glued to their shirts and they had to run away from littles trying to pull the candy off.  Seth and Ruby loved the new zipline in the Smith's backyard.  Danny and Blake played a lot of basketball in the driveway.

Visalia and Pismo

After Utah and Danny went to scout camp and Aaron went to spend the week in Visalia with Grandma and Grandpa. Aaron had a great time swimming, shopping and eating.  The girls had their dance recital that weekend and then the kids and I drove to Visalia the next Monday.  We had a good time there seeing movies and swimming at the neighbor's and going roller skating.

Bob flew in on Thursday and I picked him up and we drove to Pismo for our anniversary.  We went to Morro Bay and then Pismo.  We spent a lazy day at the beach on Friday.  Then Saturday Grandma and Grandpa brought all the kids to play at the beach with us.  It was fun to kind of have a climax to the vacation and get to share it with them.  The sad part was that the ocean was so cold that we didn't get in as much as usual.

Grandma Donna's 85th Birthday in Utah

We went to Utah right after school got out for Grandma Donna's 85th birthday.  We stayed at Trina's house since we weren't going to be there the whole week to share in the rental house with everyone else.  Wednesday night we went to the Strawberry Days rodeo.  That was fun with everyone.  Thursday we went to the Provo Temple to do baptisms, to the BYU bookstore and then went to Utah Lake with everyone and bbq'd and went on motor boats with tubes and knee boards. Friday we went up Hobble Creek Canyon most of the day to celebrate Grandma's birthday.
