Family vacation part 1


A great vacation always begins with a good nap.
And another one.
(Look closely, baby Caleb is having happy dreams)

Giddy-up grandpa!

Brother, grandpa drove this thing faster.  Come on!

Grandma time!

Good morning!

Stop 1: Balboa Park
Great climbing tree!






Quality time with Uncle Kyler and cousins.

Everybody loves uncle Kyler.
I love to see the temple

I'm going there some day.

San Diego Temple




Next stop: La Jolla
Jayden's first time seeing the ocean

Don't worry Carter, it can't splash you from here.

Beautiful.
What's everybody looking at?  Everyone is in the way.

That's better.
Oh look, a squirrel.
Our littlest cousin was more excited about the birds than the ocean.




No dad, don't throw me in.


Totally worth the long drive to see this.

More great climbing trees.

Mr. Photographer.




Found the sea lions.

Wow!

Run away!

Our beautiful niece in her baptism dress.


Beach time!!!!!

Ooh! I want to touch it!

Uncle Spencer didn't hesitate to rush right in.



Caleb approves.



Look what I found!

Mmmm, sand.
Caleb agrees.




Hmm, maybe I'll go over there where they are.

Wait, there's water over here.

[High pitched, long scream]

Ok, it's not so bad.


They've got a taste for the ocean.
Salty.
And he's got a taste for sand.
"Hey guys, It's good over here too!"

LOVING it.



Time to dry off.


Time for a run.

May I have a sandwich, extra sand?

Give mine here.

Caleb trying to steal a sandwich.


Let's go fly a kite.

Up to the highest heights.


Lets go fly a kite

And send it soaring.

Up through the atmosphere.
Up where the air is clear.
Lets go fly a kite.

You can never have too much sand.




Grumpy helping an exhausted Jayden.

We're moving again?


Leaving our Springville home.....
for a Sunday walk.  Carter was not happy.
Leaving our Springville home......forever. :(

Getting the final diploma.  Graduating 23rd grade.

So long and thanks for all the fish.

At graduation,
Carter found himself in a pickle....or a cucumber.

Bed time snuggles for Caleb

Bed time snuggles for Carter

As an astute Minecrafter, Carter always keeps an eye out for precious materials such as obsidian.

Attitude.

Trying out Grammy's new bed, and TV.


Reading time with Grammy!

Stair master, spiral edition.


Moving to the Basin



Driving into town on moving day.

Boxes, boxes everywhere, but not a toy to play with.

Exploring the new house.

.....and backyard!

.....and the stairs!

This baby really loves the stairs.

"If they can't see us, we don't have to help."

Bwahaha! Mom and Dad win!


Taking a break for some yummy food.


Caleb loves making a mess with raspberries from our raspberry bush.

He loves making an even bigger mess with the strawberries!

Oh ho ho!  More power!!

Jayden's a good helper.

Carter's new room.  He's got some work to do.


Time to relax in the shade in our backyard.

Bug catcher extraordinaire

More food and make in snappy!

He Loves the flyswatter.

Looking for strawberries

Found one!

Me too!

Ate one!

Me too!

Rainbow hair.

Rainbow face.

Fourth of July parade

Caleb was asleep....

Until the parade started with all the loud sirens.
Thanks big sis!

Munching an apple with Dad.

Ready for BBQ!
