Kyra attends O.Y.A.

In July, Kyra attended an Outdoor Youth Adventure camp at BYU-Idaho. They trekked the group off to Badger Creek Camp and had a fun-filled week full of activities to build their faith, courage, and self-confidence. (Like Kyra REALLY needed any of that :) Besides what is shown on the pictures, she did a small handcart trek with a very difficult women's pull, whitewater rafted, rappelled and rode horses. YES, these really are pictures of her high up in the air. I guess she's no longer afraid of heights :P Read more!

Spring Break 2009 Washington State - Part 1

I hope the saying 'better late than never' still holds true. Over Spring Break I drove the kids up to Bill's family in Gig Harbor, Washington. Between having so many pictures and having technical difficulties, I've had a hard time getting everything up. Luckily, I've been babysitting at a friend's house and have had time to upload pictures -- that wouldn't corrupt! If you click on the title, it will take you to half of the slideshow of our adventures up there. Adam helped me drive and we took it in 2 days. It had been a long time since we'd been up to Washington, I think 7 years. We had a great visit with Bill's sister's family and his parents. We enjoyed playing some great games with them at a park, taking individual walks, visiting the Pt. Defiance Zoo, visiting the world's largest car museum and just plain hanging out and talking and laughing. The kids were able to have an Easter Egg hunt on Grandma's hill, and all her garden decor made it very interesting for them. Read more!
