Summer vacation is going fast. We've been so busy. We went to Utah right after school got out for Grandma Donna's 85th birthday. We stayed at Trina's house since we weren't going to be there the whole week to share in the rental house with everyone else. The first day I went to see Nancy Litchfield in Ogden. She was the nutrition supplement lady. She knows so much. I was there for 4 hours. I left with several supplements that I've been taking for the last month and I think they've been helping (multivitamin, D3, lots of fish oil, and Magnesium). She also said that she thinks most people have a gluten sensitivity that causes lots of problems for us. At first I was totally against that idea because it says in the Word of Wisdom that wheat is for man. But I'm coming around to the idea of at least limiting flours a little. I wonder if Seth's allergies, exzema and focus problems might be related to gluten. We're going to try going gluten free for a few weeks when school starts and see how it goes.
Wednesday night we went to the Strawberry Days rodeo. That was fun with everyone. Thursday we went to the Provo Temple to do baptisms, to the BYU bookstore and then went to Utah Lake with everyone and bbq'd and went on motor boats with tubes and knee boards. Friday we went up Hobble Creek Canyon most of the day to celebrate Grandma's birthday.
Then we came home from Utah and Danny went to scout camp the next week and Aaron went to spend the week in Visalia. The girls had their dance recital that weekend and then the kids and I drove to Visalia the next Monday. We had a good time there seeing movies and swimming at the neighbor's.
Then Bob flew in on Thursday and I picked him up and we drove to Pismo for our anniversary. Bob got us a cute airbnb to stay at. We went to Morro Bay and then Pismo. We spent a lazy day at the beach on friday. Then Saturday my parents brought all the kids to play at the beach with us. It was fun to kind of have a climax to the vacation and get to share it with them. The sad part was that the ocean was so cold, kids didn't get in as much as usual.
This last week has been our only regular week at home this summer. We had a fun 4th of July with lots of friends coming over to swim and bbq and then stay for fireworks. I've been getting ready for girls camp and it's been kind of nice to be a little lazy. This week Rachel and I go to girls camp and Danny will babysit the kids. Then when we get back, we will turn around and go up to Tahoe for the week. I'm so excited for that trip. I love Amanda and her family and she always plans such a great week for us. Then we will hurry home for Danny and Rachel to go to EFY in Cedar City. After that Danny will go to Texas with his friend Blake for a week and then fly home just in time to get ready for school to start. It sure makes the summer go fast when we have so much stuff. But it's all fun.
