Summer Fun in the USA

 

Here are a few pictures from our adventures in the US.  In June, we had lots of fun with the Whittaker clan.  Aaron is one of six cousins, all under 4.  It was great seeing him interact with his cousins.

Our first week was spent at the ocean, all 18 of us!  Such excitement.  Here are all the cousins with their grandma and grandpa, from left to right:

This was Aaron’s first time in the COLD Oregon ocean.  He had fun.

He also had fun playing with Danny’s old toys (so did Danny and Grandpa!)

 

 

 

In July we made the trip to Eastern Washington to spend time with Betsy’s family.

Sounds like you had a lot of fun. Are you still in the US? When are you heading back?
