Summer 2012-Carter Family Reunion

For our final trip I took the kids up to my family reunion. We got dirty and stinky and dirty. We ate well and had fun.

Uncle Scotty playing with bubbles.

Anna and Grandpa

As you can see the kids were very tired after camping.

Well most of the kids.

Summer 2012-Utah

We started our Utah trip in Roy with Peter's Mission President but didn't pull out the camera. It was great to see them and hope to see them again soon. The off to Peter's sister's house. The kids had a ton of fun playing with cousins. The highlights of playing with cousins are the trampoline in the basement and the AWESOME home made slip and slide.

And don't forget the icecream

While in Utah we also visited the BYU campus.

Here are the new students.

And the visiting Professor

And what visit to campus is complete with out a little bowling?

We also made a quick stop at the Provo Temple.

Next was a little hiking trip with the cousins

Then off to Salt Lake. It was a very hot day, 105.

Bekah liked our tour guide. We got the very condensed version of the conference center tour.

We ended our trip with the Thurgoods in Layton. It was so good to see them. We had a great trip to Utah!

Summer 2012-Seattle

We went up to Seattle to visit some good friends and to see the sights. We went to the Space Needle.

The Market

The Carousel

And enjoyed a beautiful day at the beach.

Summer 2012-Portland x 3

Our first trip to the Portland area I have no documentation of. I forgot my camera. There was not much to document as 3 of my children were sick and 2 throwing up while at Peter's brother's house.

Our second trip to the Portland area went much better. We went to celebrate my grandmother's 90th Birthday. While there we were able to get our family pictures taken. This is the first time my whole family was together since December 2005.
