So long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye

This has been an extraordinary summer because Court and Alyssa got to go to Arizona to see Kalie for two weeks and then she drove them back home to Utah. We all so enjoyed having her here with us. She spent time making her whole wheat bread recipe for us...3 times!
We also enjoyed cleaning the church together (even though I thought I might be there all day vacuuming the chapel), going to Young Women on Sunday, sewing the binding on her quilt that she started a couple of years ago, learning how to emboss cards, shopping at Gateway, cooking some fabulous pizza and sandwiches, going to see Harry Potter, window shopping in Gardiner Village, exercising to Billy Blanks and having some meaningful talks together. Here are some pictures of things that we all did:

...playing Rock Band in Arizona...

...celebrating a birthday...

...goofing off together...

...touring the Oquirrh Mountain temple...

...and hiking.

Goodbye and thanks for spending your summer vacation with us. We loved having you and love you!!

You guys did a lot while she was here. I bet you're so sad to see her go.

I loved being with you guys! It was a great trip. Looking at that travelogue, it's hard to believe everything we did!
