The rest of the summer we have been having fun here at home. We have gone to a lot of the local library programs. We've gone skating, swimming, and to the zoo. The kids even had a lemonade stand.
Aaron went to his first day camp. He loved it except for the heat. He got to ride horses. He learned to shoot a bow and arrow and a BB gun. He made a lot of new friends.

Our Summer Experience

To celebrate our 10 year anniversary we went to Florida!! It was the first time that the kids could remember flying. It was the first time for us all to see the Atlantic Ocean. It was amazing. We had fun visiting Mike's brother. He took us around West Palm Beach. We went to a sea turtle perserve and an animal perserve. We also spent a day up in Orlando. We went to Sea World (the most expensive place on Earth!) and we saw the Orlando Temple. What we all enjoyed most was going to the beach and looking for seashells, and coconuts and swimming in Uncle Brent's pool. We tried to find alligators but were detered by the danger and heat! Aaron loved all the animals that habitat Florida (especially the wild cranes that live in Uncle Brent's yard). Emma loved doing crafts with Aunt Carolyn. Mike and I loved being able to finnally have a relaxing vacation.
