Summer has officially started!

It has been a Crazy month!! Andy finished his first year of MBA school and after enjoying a week with him at home he was off to Washington D.C for a week. He came home long enough to help get us packed up and once again we made our 26 (or more?) hour trek across country to my parents house. Glad to report we made it! Andy stayed in Utah for a couple of days with us and then headed onto California to start his internship. We will join him in July. For now we missing Andy but having fun in Utah with grandparents. Here is a glimpse of what we have been up to!

On our trip out west we stopped early on the first night and stayed at a hotel with a little water park. It was lots of fun and a good way to burn some energy!! Although I don't LOVE road trips the kids were great. Even Jane was wonderful. In fact she was probably as good if not better than the other kids!


When we arrived the weather was not even close to the 80 degree muggy weather we had been having in Indiana. It was cold here. The kids had looked so forward to swimming in the pool but it was too cold so they settled for the hot tub. It wasn't until yesterday that they actually started swimming in the pool

For a girl who LOVES the bath tub this is heaven to Jane. WE put it at a temperature that isn't too hot for her or the kids. She would be in here all the time if I let her. Whenever she catches a glimpse of it out of the window she gets so excited she nearly throws herself out of my arms to get to it!!
We took a little field trip to the LDS humanitarian service center. The tour we went on was amazing. Here are the kids standing in front of a bunch of donated clothes that are bundled up and will be shipped off to other countries in soon.

The kids have had lots of fun playing games and spending time with grandma and grandpaLucy and Jane playing the piano

We enjoyed a morning at the Children's museum
There's been lots of trampoline jumping. Even Jane likes crawling on it!
We are having lots of fun. The only thing that would make it better is if our dad could be with us!!

How fun! I can't believe swimming is going on anywhere! Just three days ago i was wearing a sweater!!! It is so chilly here, i feel like we are headed into our winter break, not our summer break! Not sure if it will ever seem warm enough for swimming!!!

I'm impressed that you guys made a 26 hour car trip with 4 kids without going crazy!! I'm glad that you are having fun visiting your family in Utah. I'm sure Andy misses you and is excited for you to go to CA.
