Summer Olympics 2016

Robert and his brother Rick, who served his mission in Brazil, headed South to Rio de Janeiro for the Olympics. They were able to watch beach volleyball, men's basketball, and track and field. They also had a sight-seeing day. Robert's highlights-seeing athletes and lowlight-not being able to understand the language!

Back home, we celebrated the games with the neighborhood. All the kids made it to the medal stand. Proud mom moment!

Summer Fun

Goodbye Luau for Salmons!

Summer Vaca

We started off our vacation with a quick stop in St. George. We enjoyed Peter Pan at Tuacahn. Jeffrey was invited to his first show- but only until intermission.

Next up was a stop in Fallon, mostly to get ready for Twin Lakes.  We spent the 4th of July at the cabin and there is nowhere I would rather be than Twin Lakes on July 4th! It is so peaceful to me.

We just love spending the 4th of July at the cabin.  Icing on the cake was having Christiansen cousins all to ourselves.

Sparta Year 1

School's Out for Summer

The girls all had such a great school year.

Spring Break of Epic Proportions

Disney cruise out of Miami--4 day--Castaway Cay, Nassau, Key West

Castaway Cay

Nassau (stayed onboard)

Key West (butterfly house and aquarium)

 Eating snails (and getting paid to do it)!

The kids got a kick out of Pirate night and Grandpa even dressed up! I guess pirates eat their plates.

Part 2:  Universal Studios.

Stayed at Portafino where we could take the boat back and forth to the park. We had a magical time in Harry Potter world. But the smaller two kids were a bit spooked.
