Miles

This summer has flown by! We've been gone a lot the past two months. Tyson and I were figuring out how many miles we've driven lately and we had a rough guess of about 4,000 miles. Well, I did a break down:

Trip to WA and back - 1510 miles
Ephrata, WA to Twin Lakes (and back) - 332 miles
Ephrata to Auburn, WA (and back)- 338 miles
Orem, UT to Island Park, ID (and back) - 662 miles
Orem to Colfax, CA (Rollins Lakes) - 641 miles
Colfax to Oakley, CA - 117 miles
Oakley to Shasta lake (and back) - 440 miles
Oakley to Thousand Oaks, CA - 361 miles
Thousand Oaks back to Orem - 685 miles

Total miles driven since July 3 = 5,086 miles!!!

We are crazy! The kids are amazing! And we're looking forward to our drive next Monday to Virginia...add another 2,108 miles on to the previous number...A TON OF DRIVING!

Stay tuned for updates on all the fun we've been having!

Twin Lakes

We headed to WA a month ago to go to our annual Twin Lakes vacation with my family. The weather wasn't the greatest, but we all still had a fun time. Tyson even took a break from studying for a day to join us.

My dad made a zip line...huge hit!

Another highlight...going to the store to get ice cream cones!

My hard core brother took a nasty fall while riding bikes around the lake

Digging in the dirt

We did have nice weather for a day and the girls had fun swimming in the freezing water
