We had a wonderful lunch and the boys got to cool off in their swimming pool. Samuel especially had a great time jumping as high as he could into the water.
A couple days after our big Silver Falls trip (more to come on that), we got to spend part of the day with Joe, Stephanie and Elliannah. We spent most of the afternoon playing in their pool and then had a delicious barbeque.
Joe and Stephanie have been working really hard on their garden this year. It produced wonderfully, and they've had a great harvest. Tomatoes, beans, peas, peppers, corn, squash, pumpkins, etc. They had/have so many kinds of veggie plants and we got to have a taste of the wonderfully fresh produce.
The next day, Stephanie and Elliannah got to come up to the Brewsters to visit and went with us to the Johnny Limbo concert. Ellie is quite the dance and Adam danced too, for a bit, but got overwhelmed by all the little girls that joined in.
On Friday, we went to Otter Beach, an outdoor water play area with slide, pools and other fun stuff. It was a perfect day for it and here's a picture of my boys taking a break and enjoying some popsicles.
We had a great time, and enjoyed hanging out at Ben and Amanda's for a day too. Slip n' slide for the kids kept them happy and cool.
The rest of us played games, ate yummy food and enjoyed each others company.
On Saturday, Amanda ran in a triathlon put on by the local stake of the church. She did great! We were all there at strategic points to cheer her on and she made pretty good time.
Here are some pictures of some of the kids shading their eyes from the bright morning sun. They were being pretty silly and having fun playing together. And the other picture is of Amanda at the end of the triathlon.
Aaron was in Seattle for PAX for a few days towards the end. PAX is the Penny Arcade Expo, which is a big gaming convention. He went with several of his gaming buddies and had a terrific time.
We really loved getting to see so much family and sorry not to be able to see everyone on this trip. Hopefully, we'll get to do a longer trip in the future.
