Ok, I must confess. This isn't me, but no one took my photo, dang it, and I was good! :)I think water skiing on Bear Lake when it's sunny and calm is as close to the Celestial Kingdom as you can get!

ReplyDeleteI would have believed that was you water skiing if you didn't have to be so honest! Fun fun fun.
ReplyDeleteGood thing you have a nice restful school year to recover from your summer vacation! Seriously I think the Elwoods are the motivator for the energizer bunny. You're my hero.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a blast...so sad that we didn't get to meet up at the Logan pool. :)
ReplyDeleteWell said!
ReplyDeleteI love # 19 most!
See you next summer! =)
Sounds like a great summer/trip! :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Elwoods! It was so fun to run into at Pickleville. We are still laughing about those stretchy pants...in fact, we laugh about them almost every day because Ben bought the CD and Sariah wants to hear it each and every time we are in the car. We know every line! Maybe we can plan to run into each other, next time.
