We had a great whirlwind tour of California, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Arizona.
In California we got to celebrate birthdays with two great-grandmas,
swim in the ocean (Despite the unusually cold July in San Diego),
and use our free volunteer passes at Disneyland
In Nevada we got to visit some of our favorite beaches around Lake Tahoe.
In Oregon kids had fun with cousins, swam at Cascadia...
and enjoyed the Benton County Fair. It's been years since I've been to a county fair...they are still as interesting as ever. Kara got to be an assistant to Adam the Great...I can't believe you haven't heard of him!
We got to stop briefly in Bryce Canyon in Utah.
Finally on to Arizona for a houseboat adventure on Lake Powell.
There was kayaking,
riding behind the boat,
and lots of swimming and playing in the water.
Now we are back home in Nebraska ready to start the next part of our adventure here. It was fun to see many of you on our trip and hope you can make it out this way!
Welcome back to The Good Life. Too bad you missed all the really, hot sticky weather. Don't worry, there's always next year :-)
ReplyDeleteI was pretty much on your Western tour and not ONE picture of me? shame.
ReplyDeletewow- you are SO tan in that last picture! and at first I thought it was funny that your one family and only family picture from that big trip was in front of a backdrop... then at a closer look I realized that THAT is a REAL background... great picture!
