We have had a great summer so far! Here are some of the fun things we have been doing when we are not working:
Our friend Nicholas took us and our Niece Lily on her first plane ride! He let Kris fly the plane for a few minutes too, which he LOVED!
We have enjoyed spending time with family. We were able to spend some time with my family in Utah and Nauvoo, IL before and after the weddings. I was also able to go spend a week at home in Colorado and help my Mom with Chemo. It was great to be home with the family. She is doing remarkable too.
We had a couple great visits here in Rexburg from Kris's Parents. We always enjoy their visits. We've had some fun get togethers with the Niece's here in town too...It's so fun to watch them grow!
This last weekend we went to Utah for Kris's Grandpa Perkes Funeral. It was well done, and really nice to be there with the immediate and extended family to honor a great man that we love!
Girl's Camp! Stake Girl's Camp was in June. It went really well and was a lot of fun.
I was the camp director for the ward again, and was glad I got to do it again this year! The theme was blossoming testimonies, and it was a neat experience to be a part of. I love these leaders and girls!
Kris and I have also been on a couple of camping trips which have been a lot of fun. (I forgot to take pictures...oops.) We went on a camping trip to West Yellowstone, which was beautiful. We visited a really neat Wolf and Bear exhibit the next day.
We also went camping at Kelly Canyon and were able to try out our new camping stove! (It works great if you were wondering).
We spent the 4th of July in Driggs, ID. What a great place! There is a beautiful view of the Teton Mountains, the people are very friendly, and we found some fun things to do there. We went mountain biking for a couple hours on a scenic trail, and then we came back for lunch and staked out a spot on Huntsman Springs Driving range to listen to Glenn Beck give a speech, and then watch fireworks. Since we got there early, we were able to meet him! What a nice guy. We really enjoyed his inspiring speech, and the fireworks were great!
We are looking forward to more warm weather, a couple more weddings at the end of the summer, and a visit from my younger brother and sister!
