School's Out!

Last week we finished off the school year. I organized a car parade for the graduating Young Women in our ward. It was so fun and the girls really felt loved!

On Friday, May 22, Emily finished her last day of 2nd grade. This Chromebook has become our friend the last two months while we've done distance learning.

Now that summer is officially here...the kids spend lots of time jumping on our trampoline!

The girls also started having tea parties outside.

We went to see Dad and Mom in Middleton and they took us on this fun little walk by the Boise River.

Caleb had fun throwing rocks in it!

The girls loved playing in the sand by the river. 

On Memorial Day we went to visit the graves of my grandparents. This is my Grandpa Emery's grave.

Here is Grandma Emery's (she was actually buried on top of him, so they share a headstone).

We ran into my cousin Vaughn and his kids while we were there!

Then we went to Grandpa and Grandma Flake's grave. Dad and Mom loved sharing stories about their parents to our kids. It was a very special Memorial Day. One I will always remember.

That afternoon we took our kids on a hike to Elephant Rock Loop in the foothills behind Boise.

It was really hot, but the kids were in heaven playing on the huge rocks and sand.

"We HAVE to come back, Mom!"
