March 2010 Texas trip with Rikki

In March of last year, my sister's husband's cousin (Sydney) invited Rikki down to her place in Houston, offering free lodging and a free car to use during the day.

Kyra's 16th Birthday - Jan 2010

For Kyra's 16th birthday we surprised her with a "blind date," a good friend of Adam's and hers from school, doubling with Adam and Jess. Jess did up Kyra beautifully, then took her downstairs to see exactly who she was going out on her first date with: David! They blindfolded her and drove her to Salt Lake to dine at The Roof restaurant which overlooks Temple Square. Afterwards they walked around Temple Square then had a horse & buggy ride downtown.

I "happen" upon these by accident, steal them while the kids are in school, scan them, and quickly return them to where I found them. Why does life have to be sneaky? First one is Adam with Jessica Arnold and second photo is Kyra with Collin Odysseus.
