The things kids come up with to entertain themselves during summer vacation! Emily found a stash of binkies somewhere. (Brooke hasn't given them a second thought since she was about six months old.) Suddenly, all four kids are crawling around, acting like little babies! Cute at first, but it got old after about 10 minutes.
Okay, so I haven't posted anything here on the blog because I've been very busy. It's a lot of work to plan, pack for, and actually go on a vacation. We flew to Cleveland, then drove a rental car up around Lake Erie into Ontario. We had fun at a local zoo, Marineland (a small version of sea world), Niagara Falls, and a family reunion on the farm where Jon's ancestors lived. The kids loved fishing in the pond (Kelsey caught a catfish and the hook went through its eye-gross!--they had to cut the line and leave the hook in. It's either dead or swimming around with a hook in its eye) and gathering eggs from the chickens (we called them rent-a-chickens since they were just borrowed for the time we were there!) We drove back down to Cleveland and briefly visited Kirtland before flying home Tuesday afternoon. A funny coincidence: While touring the Kirtland Temple, I kept trying to figure out where I knew this girl from. She looked so familiar. She came up to me after the tour and said she was wondering the same thing about me. We figured out that we lived in the same dorm building during my sophomore year at BYU. Jon was also in our ward that year, and she recognized him too. Funny how you can be so far from home and happen to run into someone you knew 14 years ago.
I can't figure out how to add a picture, then text to go along with it, then a different picture and text to go with that underneath. So my pictures are all kind of bunched up at the top. Any hints Shellee?

Here is how it goes.
When you are posting, go to the HTML setting. If you have attached pictures they will show up in Computer Language. Find the end of the picture, put the cursor beneath it and you can start typing. If you need more explanation, we'd be more than happy if you would come to the valley and I could show you in person!!!!!
I forgot, looks like a fun vacation.
As for running into people, I haven't seen the neighbors that lived next to me while growing up, since 1990, that's 18 years! I ran into them at Curt's hobby store and I recognized them, but they didn't recognize me until I told them my name. They freaked, and we sat there talking for about an hour. I loved it. We talked about the old neighborhood, there mom still lives there and they gave me the gossip, it was neat to see how everyone had grown up.
