Arkansas cousins

Slip n slide style

Anything to cool off

White Water in Branson, MO

We tried to ride out the storm but it just kept coming.

Kannon and Sophie enjoying being together

It was great being able to spend time with Dana, my sister and her boys. Her oldest, Dustin, was playing baseball so I didn't get to see him this trip. He is entering his freshman year of college!!
(we missed Uncle Barry, too)

An evening walk on County Road 555

July in Mountain Home, AR

Fun times on the boat

Sliver Dollar City Branson, MO

Everybody's favorite ride: we all could go on it at the same time, there was no line, and it was cool down in the mine!

Second leg: Just Matt and I

We arrived in Arkansas the July 1 and left the kids and our van with my parents. Matt and I set out to Boise to find a house. We drove through Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, and finally Idaho.

Fourth of July in Texas

In 6 days we found a house and Matt found an office space.

First leg of our summer journey

One last goodbye to the Baillio family and lots of hugs from the Cook family. We left Maryland the last day in June and headed to Kirtland, Ohio.

Kirtland Temple

A very interesting tour from a member of the Community of Christ church.

Picture taken in the school of the prophets where Joseph Smith received many of his revelations for the Doctrine and Covenants.

And Matt could never just drive by colleges without stopping so we can now cross Ohio State University and Indiana State University off our list.
