July has been so fun-packed, I am very much enjoying the lazy days we have planned for the rest of the month! Madison and Hunter had 3 weeks of Theater Camp at the University of Utah which culminated in a play at Kingsbury Hall. They were so so good and we were very proud of them!

| Good Job, Hunts! |
Okay, I know I haven't said much about our family trip to Kauai. This is partially because I don't want to bore people with the many details of our trip, but suffice it to say, it was an absolute dream come true (besides me spending half the trip getting over severe food poisoning) for Robert and I to take our kids there. We only have 2 more years with Christian in our home and are trying to take every opportunity we have to make amazing memories, and while I realize you don't have to go to Kauai to do this, we did. And we loved it. I will refrain from posting a ton of pictures.

| Ashton was the best behaved he has ever been on a trip. We bribed him with his own shave ice to be good on this hike. |

| Madison, boogy boarding |

| Another gorgeous hike |
And that's me "refraining" from lots of pictures.

Good for you for taking a trip that was a dream come true for you. How very fun. When I read the part about only having 2 more years of Christian at home I couldn't believe we are really that old!? When I think about only 5 more years with my oldest, and feel much the same way...so many memories still to create.
We need to do lunch soon. Let's drag some or all of our children to a park and force them to interact.
Yeah for posting some of your trip pictures and comments. You capture the moment. The expressions tell a story. Happy Memories. We never tire of your blog, there is always something joyful and interesting to read and see.
It is hard for me to believe the Garden of Eden has anything on Kauai--It is truly paradise! Especially being there with my family and true love.
Kauai is spectacular and you captured it perfectly. I love little E's buns. They are the cutest buns I've ever seen! hehe Love the pictures of Ash and his snorkel gear. I'm so glad you guys had a good time! Maybe next time we'll go together again???? :)
