seriously what vacation? I remember when I was a kid I used to think that you went to school for a year then had summer vacation for a year. What a terrible day when I realized how wrong I was - and then another terrible day when I realized that when you work there is no such thing as a 3 month break. Oh well.
So besides giving Nathan the "cheese touch" as often as possible (see Diary of a Wimpy Kid book volume 1) here are some pictures of how we spent our summer vacation...
we celebrated dad and all 60 of his years!! 
we played in newport
i made my first icing roses!! watch out mom...
I witnessed this guy getting baptized in Carlsbad
and this kid having a blast!
FINALLY got to swim!
we moved maddie into her new college life...wait that's nathan sitting on a college girls bed, with a college girl, in the college girls room! isn't that bed awesome??? I put it together! i rule.
went to St. George and trespassed at Sand Hollow
drove recklessly in the church parking lot
and climbed and hiked everything we could...fun times were had by all!
