This is an update on our summer. First in May, Aaron's parents came to Virgina and spent some time with us and saw the sights. In June we had a family reunion in Washington with Aaron's family. Then Alexandria and I went to Las Vegas for a week. Then we spent a month and a half in Utah and during that time we went to the Comin reunion in Idaho. Aaron was able to come to some of his reunion but then had to come home for the rest of his semester. And then met up with us in Utah at the beginning of August. And just for the record, spending a six weeks away from your spouse is torture. I would highly recommend against it.
The time was a lot of fun and it was great to see everyone. Alexandria especially misses everyone now that we are home, but it is nice being able to get back into the swing of things.
The pictures are in order of the most resent on down.
One of Alexandria's many b-day presents, which she just wanted to dress herself up.
We spent a day with Annie, Landon, Sarah, Timmy, and Uncle Will at a place called kangaroo zoo, that had a warehouse full of blow up jumpy castles and slides. I was actually a lot of fun. We all ran around and jump, slid, and played.

These were the coolest bubbles ever. I can't remember what they are called but they don't pop forever and when you pop them they can make a little popping sound.
Alea and Alexandria riding some horses. Alexandria absolutely loved it.
This dragonfly was huge and really cool, but Alexandria was deathly afraid of it.
Getting ready to go to Seven Peaks. We were able to go a lot with a seasons pass. I would say that Alexandria's favorite pass time is being in the water. She goes nuts in the water.
Pool party at my moms. Happened on many occasions.
