Yay! Back to the real world!

So, in the past month we have done soooo much. I will start with the most recent and work my way back. First.....

We went to a Red Sox game. It was the game day that the church buys a huge amount of tickets for super cheap. It was John's third game and by far the worst seats he has had. The two times before he went with a friend who had seats in the enclosed section. However, it was my first game and I thought it was awesome.
p.s. they played the Chicago white sox and won!


Next, we went to Idaho on the last leg of our trip. We went water skiing at the lake. Both John and I got up. However, John looked a lot more cool jumping wakes and doing tricks than I did skiing just trying to stay up.
ooops...no pictures..sorry, too busy having fun!

We also went to a river where we celebrated Grandpa Brady's birthday.
We canoed and did paddle boats. It was sure fun but it ended in a nasty storm of wind. It was blowing everything away! It was a short trip but fun to celebrate the old man's birthday! ha ha ha




Great Grandma and Grandpa Briscoe's house! Gabe loved all the candy she gave him, even after John kept saying no more. ha ha ha



In Utah...
Visiting friends. Gabe and George met when they were 6 months old. We and his family were in the same ward for 9 months. Turns out we were soon to be related. John's sister married George's, mom's brother...got it? Oh we sure miss you guys!



We went to the Clark family reunion at the Heber Valley Camp.
That was a great reunion family!






We celebrated Grandma Clark's birthday at Texas Roadhouse. Gabe had fun when it came to line dancing with the servers.



We celebrated our anniversary by going out to eat at Zupas
then, we went ice blocking...fun but very tiring.

In the D.C. airport for 7 hours...


Downtown Boston exploring with the Brady Fam.



We drove up to Palmyra to meet up with John's Family on their self guided church history tour.
Sacred Grove with the Brady Family




Last but not least....
Niagra falls with the Brady Fam. Thanks to John's parents we got to ride down in the falls in the "Maid of the Mist". It was so much fun to be right at the foot of the falls!





That's all for now!

Sounds like tons of fun, and very busy! I love Niagara Falls, and especially riding the Maid of the Mist. Did you wander on over to the Canadian side as well?

Wow, what a summer! Action packed! I want to get to Palmyra and Niagara so badly! It's six hours from us, but we just haven't made it yet. Drostan is in Maine right now and gets done at the end of the week. Too bad I didn't come with him and could've met up with you!
