What an amazing family trip we had. It could not have been more beautiful, relaxing or fun. Mikey and Billy told us all sorts of incredible stories from their childhood memory banks. (Billy really did ride miles to school on a horse as a VERY young little boy) , we heard of ice boxes--literally, boxes with ice blocks for food to be kept cool--and all sorts of creative childhood adventures that only children without x-boxes, WIIs (is that how you say it?--and television could have conjured in their minds. Mike, Evans, and Elizabeth told hilarious stories of "apples" that were very hot. (Ask Evans) and a vicious dog that had to be put down for attacking "children" and eating the neighborhood pets. We drove around Lake Tahoe "37 times" as Avery would say, we visited the local ice cream shop in Camp Richardson. It was wonderful and had a line to the door. We ate yummy food and went on beautiful hikes. What fabulous memories were made!

Tahoe Fun
We had such an amazing time with the family on Lake Tahoe. We went on a great boat ride that was full of historical information (of course, I LOVED all that). There's Billy and Evans, The Rosenblooms, and us...Uncle Mike taking pictures.

...We are In Maui...
Well, what an amazing gift to be able to come to Maui! Angie and Jenny are quite the tour guides. The Ritz is beautiful. This morning we saw the most incredibly created bird with a red cap. It was similar to a black capped chick-a-dee (thanks, Mom, for the Bird Recognition class in school!) but with a red head. God must have had so much fun making him.
The waves are beautiful and the sound is so relaxing. So, there's the beach, the pool, THEN THE OCEAN!
Home Notes:
Evans put Olive on the phone for us to hear over speaker phone...she snorts just like a pig. If anyone at home needs a pig fix (not like bacon) I'm sure she'd love a walk.
Thanks, Caleb, for taking care of her! You're the best piggy-sitter ever!
Vivian's 15th Birthday
Little Vivian is 15! It seems just yesterday my little cousin Vivian Ann was born. Lori and I were so excited, we couldn't stand it, we were about to jump out of our skin! Vivian means FULL OF LIFE. She is a gift in our family. Together, with her brother Eddie, we are so glad to call them family. Vivian, we pray God's sweetest blessings upon you and your life. We pray that you always follow the dreams and direction God puts on your heart. Never feel you cannot accomplish great things. You can. God made you wonderfully. You and Eddie are God's gift to each other. There's nothing better than a sibling for a best friend.
