Our July Vacation

I'm slow in posting this... I still don't think I've caught up from the last couple of weeks!

The week of July 13th was VBS week. The kids had a blast at camp, which was the whole point. As usual, they loved the counselors from Luther Park (and there were 2 boys again, which I think is great!). Erin really liked the girl, Emma, which I knew she would...Emma was just an older Erin! And Alana bonded with Eric, who just this summer was called to the Seminary...I think he reminded Alana of Tony. I'll get pics posted asap for VBS.

On Friday after VBS, we headed up to Mom & Dad's for our long-weekend vacation. We had a great time, but it was good to come home. That's the point, right? The girls didn't even complain about any of Grandma's funky/healthy food! Whoo hoo! And we got to see Easton & Avery!


A rare smile from Alana...playing card game with Erin & Grampa....
Erin outfished her dad again, I think. It's definately in her blood....

When Alana puts down her book, and takes time out from lakehome gazing, she can catch them, too! Wanna know how you can toast marshmallows without getting any pesky smoke in your eyes? Just ask Erin......
Grampa & Avery at the little beach we visited on our final morning...

Grandma & Easton. Yes, he is trying to eat her arm. You think he got that big on breastmilk alone????
Alana & Easton. She loves to hold him...til he cries....
Ah, yes. The "orange-smile face". Introduced to the innocent Avery by her cousins. Way to go girls!

Simply adorable...

How do you get your pictures so large? I am new at this but they are great shots. Are the little ones niece and nephew? Grandparents look GREAT - have not seen them in YEARS!! Great catching up on your life.
