Summer!

We have had a great summer so far, enjoying two vacations.  The first one was to the Oregon coast with my grandma, parents, brother, sister-in-law and their four kids. We had a great time exploring the tide pools, aquarium, enjoying the beach, and spending time together as a family. This was the first time in awhile we had been on vacation with my family, so it was wonderful to spend a whole week together!

Beautiful coast! Alivia, Jesse, and Luke

Our second trip was just the three of us-camping in Yosemite. Jesse grew up camping every summer with his dad and sister and was anxious to begin creating those memories with our family.  We had a blast and Luke loved EVERY minute of it! His favorite thing to do was chase (and almost catch!) squirrels. :)  We hiked, biked, swam, and created wonderful family memories.
