Wrapping up the Summer

As usual, our blog has gotten a bit dated as we've been busy with Summer. It was a great season of adventures and family time. Here's our attempt to catch up in a few pictures....
Jacob and Anna completed their first "races" -- it started with kids fun runs and Jacob topped it off with a 5k. He's placed in his age group in each of the races and seems to enjoy the sport. I'm feeling a Ragnar coming on in the next couple of years. :-)


Nathan turned 5 and celebrated with a bug party. All his buddies were there, and we had the Bean Museum from BYU come and present lots of creepy things -- tarantulas, snakes, bugs...and he dug it.





We went on a big family trip to Mt. Rushmore. Several of Jen's sisters and their families, Mike's mom, Terri and Dex...a big crew. The monument was great, as was the hiking and biking around it, meeting "Buffie Buffie" -- Nathan's buffalo friend, beautiful lakes...definitely worth the trip.





We capped off the season with a trip to So Cal to visit family. We stayed a few days in Newport Beach, visited Legoland and the California Science Center, hung out with Krista's crew and let the kids boogie board all day long.

We had to get this blog up to date as we actually had our first snow already at our house (last week...just an inch that melted as quickly as it came). Hopefully we get a Fall adventure or two in before ski season.
