Birthday & School

Megan is 21! Poor girl had the most boring birthday ever. On a Sunday, we all had mtgs, and then it was a Johnson dinner night. Sigh. But we love having Megan home. She completes us

Toby and all the former bishops of the 9th ward sang a musical number

Sam ended the summer with a boating trip with friends

And just like that School started! 11th & 9th!

 

Snowbird

We had a fun time at Snowbird for my summer work party. They gave everyone all day passes and then we had dinner. It was so much fun!

 

Washington

After a crazy summer we finally made it to Washington. It was perfect as usual. We even had cool weather which we were so grateful for because it's been hot in Utah! We took advantage of the cooler weather and went into Seattle. We realized the kids didn't remember going into Seattle because we hadn't done it since they were little. We did the usual boating, Pine Lake, dumplings and lots of games. The Balls are always the perfect host and we're grateful they keep letting us come!

Playing Down by the Banks while we wait for dumplings

There was a LOT of Nertz games

Sam caught a frog in his lax stick

Sam was super excited to play lax with his cousins

Toby talked everyone into swimming at Pine Lake even though it was raining. The water was warm and we had the place to ourselves

Lots of hot tub time

Enjoyed lots of walks with Mel

We played on this blow up toy illegally. The kids loved it!

Max got up on the slalom

Went on a pretty hike

Hiding from Henry

A beautiful night to end our trip with a campfire and smores!
