Our second Summer vacation...






Wow! We just got home this past Friday morning from our second trip of the summer and I am really looking forward to staying home for a little while. Dustin and I have both said we'd be rich if we could just stay home! On August 6th the kids and I drove to Boise to stay a few days with Grandma Pamela. We had a great time going to the water park, visiting cousins, checking on their horse Jackpot, going to Chuck E. Cheese, etc, etc, etc! Dustin flew in the following Monday and on Tuesday we flew to Orlando, FL. We checked out SeaWorld (again for FREE!) and then drove to Waycross, GA. Dustin's uncle James had passed away on Tuesday morning so we attended the viewing on Thursday and funeral Friday. Uncle James was Dustin's dad's brother. We were sure there was a happy reunion for them, their other brother Wiley as well as both their parents. Only the sisters, Renee and Susan, are left. After our visit there we drove back to Lake Park where we used to live to visit with our adopted Nana, Vi and her family. It's so nice to go home although this time it was bittersweet as our adopted grandpa, Pick, had passed away in December. I felt him nearby in the yard though and that was comforting. We also visited his grave while there. It was clear to my heart that he was not there, although his body was resting there. Then it was back to Orlando, in the midst of Tropical Storm Fay, to fly home. Thank goodness our flights were not delayed. I hope you enjoy the photos!
