We took a trip to California so Garrett could mountain bike Santa Cruz, and to attend Maddie's baptism. The trails ended up being too wet to ride, but we had a great trip visiting family anyways. Driving with the kids was surprisingly simple.
Garrett was interested in seeing Stanford, and it was a nice time to remember Grandpa Phil and the work he did there in the engineering building.
Soren and Philip. Finally cousins close in age!
Maddie's baptism was a good one, and May loves to spend good time with cousins reading books together.
Later in June we went to Spokane with the family to play at the cabin together.
Mindy took some adorable pictures.
I felt like a kid again just spending hours with the siblings surfing endlessly and laughing and listening to our old music. I really forgot all my responsibilities for a while. I can't remember a time I've truly been able to do that for a really long time.
A quick weekend trip to Jackson Hole to visit Mindy and Rob in May. We went to a fun cowboy festival downtown and just walked around the cabin in the mountain.
This picture just gives me instant relief. The constant stress of keeping 2 kids running without tears on vacation is really hard.
And Bear Lake Berry Days was also a fun year as well.
Philip's first parade.
May loved tubing and didn't want to get off!
We also did the Strong extended family reunion.
This picture is a rerun pic from when we were engaged. We have one just like this in this same spot.
