"Oh What Do You Do in the Summertime!"

Whew! Well it has been a busy summer for us! And in attempts to make amends for not posting much about the things we did, we thought we'd post about them all!

Trip to Washington!
We started out by helping my brother Paul move out to Bellingham, WA by driving his 20 month old son, Benjamin all the way from Utah on a 2 day trip. It was a lot of fun to spend that time with him and he was such a good boy the whole way. For more on this trip, you can see Paul and Vicky's blog: www.pvduersch.blogspot.com

While there we also got to spend some time with Kelv's sister Tenley and her little family in Seattle. It was wonderful! She was such a gracious hostess, Thanks Again Tenley! Plus we got to go to a Mariners game and see the famous Ichiro!


Viva Las Vegas!
Next we used up a promotional trip to Las Vegas, Nevada! After spending a few hours of prep time discovering all the exhibits and free things to see in each casino resort, we had a great time walking from place to place! But really the best part was just the fact that we had another chance to be together.


Miley, a new nephew, and 2 new neices!
Next as we hung out with Ruth over the 4th of July holiday we rocked out at Stadium of Fire with Miley Cyrus! Plus within just a few weeks we got 3 new additions to the family: Rhett Buehler Duersch, Jenalee Roylance, AnnaLynn Duersch! Hurrah for babies!



Camping, camping, and more camping!
We started out our adventures in the great outdoors at Ward Campout! We actually didn't stay the night because it was same day that we got home from Vegas, but it sure was fun to have a cookout and enjoy good friends!

Next we were with the Duersch family! We spent 3 days at the beautiful Ledgefork campground with Mom, Dad, Ruth, and Jason's, Marianne's, and Heidi's families! It's always fun to go creekin', relax on the hammock, play games, and just spend time with all our family-- especially the neices and nephews!

Lastly, after 9 hours and a blown tire, we spent the pre-labor day weekend with the Cutlers in scenic McCall, Idaho. Once again it was so fun to just be with the family out on the lake, lounging on the shoreline, playing games, and riding bikes.

Well there you have it! We had a fun summer and we are ready for fall and all it brings (aka. school, changing colors of the leaves, and BYU football!)
