Spring Break 2017

-
This spring break, we had the opportunity to go on a Carnival cruise to the Caribbean.

Before we got on the boat, we explored Miami and went to the temple there. We also got to attend a Spanish-speaking ward! It was very chevere.
 Our first stop was the Dominican Republic. We toured a school, went boggy boarding, and saw a chocolate farm. 



Our second stop was at St. Thomas. While we were there, we tried snuba (a cross between snorkeling and scuba diving) for the first time! We also went to the beach. We don't have a lot of pictures of snuba-ing, so you will have to use your imagination. :)




Our next stop was Puerto Rico. While we were there, Josh and Dad were in a funny mood, but we still had fun. We saw the old fort from 1521, and were not brave enough to try the "frozen gasoline." We also found another beautiful beach!




Finally, we went to Grand Turk. According to the picture, Josh and Dad had a deep talk while walking on the shore. :)


We hope you guys are all doing well and we love you so much!

It sounds like a good trip! I've never heard of snuba before, but it's awesome that you tried it! I laughed when I read that you had fun in Puerto Rico even though Dad and Josh were in a funny mood. ;)

Amy's braces

On January 6th, I got braces from my orthodontist, Dr. Edwards. He said I will be wearing them for about 3 years. My teeth were very sore for the first few days, and all I could eat was stuff like yogurt, soup and other soft food. He tightens the wire on my braces every month, so I will expect to be sore for a couple days each month. This is a picture of me before I got my braces: And this is a picture of me with my braces:

 Mom and I went up to the northwest corner of our beautiful state of Wyoming.  First, we stopped overnight in Grand Teton Natl Park .   it was a very short cabin (and an original settler's one) it was a little smoky. Next we drove to Mammoth Hot Springs in the NW corner of Yellowstone NP. we had a ton of elk right in front of our cabin! Buffalo everywhere in Lamar Valley, where a few of you went as 4th graders. The bull elk comes into town....ready to fight for his mating ritual Next we went on the BearTooth Highway, which reaches nearly 11, 000 feet and usually has mountain goats. Next we headed down to Old Faithful and the Geyser basin.  it was truly amazing! one of our favorites--Sapphire pool! Some of you may remember Riverside Geyser Good Old Faithful....erupts every 90 minutes, but only lasts about 3-5 minutes a new find--Castle Geyser--it went off for 20-25 minutes! our cabin at Old Faithful Lodge Our last stop was in the Canyon and Falls area .... Overal...
