First Day of School

We started school on August 13. Rachel started 4th grade, Morgan 9th grade and Taylor 12 grade.

Whiting Reunion at the Homestead

The Whiting Reunion was a grand affair. There were over 1,000 people there. There were a lot of activities over 4 days. We especially liked the "Whiting Village" where there were 30 different activities going on, such as: rope making, laundry skills, cookie making, and cow milking. We all helped run the cow milking and roping station. We learned a lot about our ancestors and felt great appreciation for their sacrifices.

Summer Vacation in California

We went on a family vacation to California. We spent the first 3 days at the beach. The first day we spent 12 hours at the beach. We had a BBQ at Huntington Beach and watched the sunset settle over the pier. We spent our time boogie boarding, jumping waves, making sand castles, walking the boardwalk, eating junk food and relaxing. After the beach we went to Disneyland for 2 days. We had a wonderful time.
