Do you sit in the shade,

or drink lemonade,

look at the blue, blue sky? Is that what you do? So do I!

Lisa in camp skit

The two chubs get some sun

Sometimes you just need to sleep after so much fun. (Actually, this was after Lily a dental procedure.)

Elijah got worn out too after a two-hour train ride.

Kadence had a hard day of summertime play.

Here are the West Haven All-Stars.

The first day of the trip into Yellowstone was the only one that was sunny.The next day it turned wintry (30- 40 degrees) (see below). Each day there were storms and cold weather intermixed with blue skies and warm (50 - 60's) periodsjust minutes apart! It was wild!

This photo shows how the blizzard could get during the day.

The buffalo would regularly hold up lines of traffic as they nonchalantly sauntered down the road. After all, this was THEIR country---we were only visitors!

This buffalo was having a delicious time getting a bottom massage against a tree. (Chalynn would call it a bum rub...)

Julie was shaking as she took this envelope from the mailbox, realizing that her son had received his mission call. The family all got together at 7:00 pm for the "grand opening."

It's the Korea Seoul Mission! When Alex read the letter he pronounced it "See-ohl." He'll learn.

Friends and family tried to guess where he would be going. Joann won. Dena tied - that was her first guess, but she switched to Taiwan when told someone else had already selected Korea. We're pretty sure they are going to enjoy the cruises they get for winning the contest.
