Hello Everyone,August 10th today and it is the first time I have had to write any of this down. Also my first attempt at blogging, but I continue to be so inspired by Tanya's efforts (www.mckibben3.blogspot.com), that I feel compelled to use this medium as a way to stay in touch with you, our family and friends, who mean so much. Luckily, this summer has been and will continue to be a wonderful time to spend time with almost all of our family.
I will have to update details in additional blogs, but so far this summer, we have done some great, fun, and exciting things:
~ July 4th CAT walk, parade & fireworks
~ July 7-9 - camping on the OR coast and ward YM/YW activity
~ July 10-18 - Camping through OR on way to California Redwoods, with Josh & Tanya
~ July 20-24 - Garrett's last minute surprise trip to Alaska
~ July 25-28 - Few days down time in prep for Yellowstone
~ July 28 - Aug 9 - Spent traveling to and around Yellowstone with Mindy's family
~ Aug 11-21 - We are leaving tomorrow @6am for Ohio to spend some time with Meggin & Mom & Dad
~Aug 22- Sept 5 - Ending sabbatical at home by putting in a yard and doing some projects around the house...looking forward to spending some nights in our new house
Anyways, I will follow up with pictures and details of our adventures as time permits, but for right now I have got to unpack the trailer from Yellowstone and get ready for our early flight out tomorrow morning..
We love you all,
Take care,
Garrett, Mindy & Girls
