Our annual camping trip up to Diamond Lake with Tony's family. This year was awesome, great weather. We had a tea party with tiny food. We rode all 11 miles around the lake...Preston too! The same week he learned to ride his bike on his own. He also caught a rainbow trout.
We get painted lady butterfly caterpillars every year. The kids love watching them grow fat, turn into crysalids and then hatch. This year we had four hatch, and of course, Preston got to hold one for quite a while while releasing. They just love him.
My sister and her family visited from Arizona. The kids adore each other and played non-stop for two weeks. We also got to camp at Emigrant Lake and do water slides! So fun and we miss them terribly.
I got to see half of my haole posse from my old BYU-Hawaii days! It was soooo nice to be reunited with Jackie, who I hadn't seen in 13 years! I met her family for the first time. Becky & I hadn't seen each other in 3 years, before she had her two little boys!! We had a delicious BBQ and swim at Becky's house while the kids played. It was so nice to catch up on old times and quote "Tommy Boy" lines. They truly are my "naughty pets" and I miss them already!!
We did 2 days at Disneyland and it was AMAZING! I love that magical place. The kids had a blast as did Tony & I. Abby's favorite ride was Winnie the Pooh. Preston's favorite was the Matterhorn and Splash Mountain. The only one he did not like was Space Mountain. We did the Tiki Room three times with the kids belting out the words so loud we were hysterical! We love the Tiki Room!
We visited Tony's family in Westminster. His great- grandmother is in her 9os and completely adorable. We also visited with his grandparents who just left Arizona as serving as Mission Presidents for 3 years!
