Summer Fruit!

We've had a great summer for fruit, especially our blueberry plants. Here are a few photos of our plentiful crop!


First a quick view of the beans, onions and very healthy rhubarb!











Our apple tree has got quite a few apples on it this year - to the point of bending down some of the branches.











Though you can't see them very well, our plum tree is quite full (I was going to say "plum full" but decided not to!)










One of our very productive blueberry bushes.









We pick blueberries about every other day! Here's a typical result of a picking. This time we were able to pick a couple of peaches as well.

3 summer Wilson weddings

Ryan and Shannon Cooley, Brandon and Brooke Wilson, and Melissa and Brady Morris were all married this year in the temple! Here are a few photos of each.






































Ann Arbor/Pittsburgh - Part 1

This summer we were able to fly back east and spend a week with our kids - part in Ann Arbor, Michigan and part of the week in Pittsburgh, PA. We spent the first few days of our vacation with Megan and Jeremy and their boys in Michigan.

One day we went to Independence Lake not far from their home and had a great time.





Mother and daughter had many opportunities to visit!










Near the lake there was a fountain park.













Thanks to Jeremy, Hunter was able to catch his normal nap!



















This is the kind of mood you'll find Hunter in most of the time.








Ann Arbor/Pittsburgh - Part 2

After spending a few days in Ann Arbor with the Shakespear's, we all hopped in their van and drove the 4 1/2 hours to Pittsburgh to visit Zac, Joy and their family!







Zac and Joy's new house on millionaire row in Pittsburgh! It was built in the 1800's and was plenty big for all of us.














All of us, just missing Brigg and Havalah!











Fun in the backyard -



















Anne was very sweet to her cousins and brother



























The four kids had a great time together - of course a fun park was on the itinerary!
