So Long....Farewell

Yesterday we had a farewell party at the lake for my parents. They head to the MTC tomorrow and will be in Peru by next weekend. We are all so excited for them but also sad to see them leave. It’s kinda surreal like it hasn’t hit me yet that they will be gone for 18 months! They originally weren’t supposed to leave until October but were asked to come earlier at the last minute so these last two weeks have been a whirlwind for them trying to get everything done and ready to go. I know they will be great missionaries. I’m so proud to call them my parents!

The Burg.

Last weekend we headed down to Rexburg for the weekend since Keith's mom and sister Krista were in town and his other two siblings live there. We had a fun filled weeked  which included; Texas Roadhouse, a wedding, Ririe Resevoir, & BBQing. Oh it was so fun we did not want to leave back to MT. We don't get to see his mom and little sis often since they live so far away so it's always a treat when they come. Can't wait for New Jersey in November!

Happy to be swimming on a hot day

Splash Montana!

Before we left Missoula for Great Falls I really wanted to go to the local waterpark they have here--Splash Montana. We had a lot of fun in the huge kiddie pool, riding the waterslides, and chillaxin along the lazy river. Carson love love loves anything to do with water and swimming so he had a great time! I loved how cheap the waterpark was compared to Roaring Springs in Boise. Of course they didn't have as many waterslides, but it was still so fun! Here are some pics of our fun day out in the sun.
