Pretend City

Seaworld

We ventured down to San Diego with the Thompson's for some Seaworld fun... and to (unsuccessfully) induce labor.


We were a little disappointed in the Shamu show. The trainers don't get in the water anymore... seriously, what are they afraid of???

Looking for eels


Lyric wanted to keep a starfish and kept pulling it out of the water. Mark us down for starfish abuse.


more abuse...

I sat this one out.

Ward Beach Party

We love our ward and spent a relaxing day chilling with them on the beach.


The dads kept busy creating sand mermaids... a beach must for our family.

Ryan enlisted everyone's help in burying Matt. (He is standing up).


Matt really enjoyed it.

Golden Annversary

Love seems the swiftest but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married {half} of a century. ~Mark Twain

Rained out at the Ranch

My grandparents made plans to take everyone horseback riding at the ranch, followed by a hayride and a BBQ, unfortunately, it rained all day, flooding most of the ranch. We ended up having a great time with our BBQ under the barn enjoying each others company.





The barn almost scared us into vegetarianism.
