Did you think of water skiing, PGA golf courses, the circus, sitting on the beach, swimming, ice cream, family, ziplines from tree to tree, a huge floating island of fun, Dr. Pepper, and tons of food? Well our latest adventure consisted of all of that and more.
We recently made the 2,000 mile journey from Orem, UT to Pine Mountain, GA for a week of fun and excitement. It was one of the greatest vacations ever. Before I give a few highlights to remember I want to say one thing. I loved meeting all my new family. I love them so much and it was such a wonderful experience. I know my wife and I were meant for each other. I feel like I fit into her family so well. I love my whole extended family on both sides. I am so thankful for all my blessings and the wonderful people I get to be with everyday!

Thursday
Driving... Driving... Driving
Friday
RELAX for a day in Wichita with my family. Such a great day.
Saturday
Driving... Driving... Driving. Arriving late that night at our Cabin in Calloway. We, Shaila and I were in charge of food for the week for our cabin so we made a late night run the 20 miles one way to Walmart for a two shopping cart trip! we managed to get too much food for the week, but it was worth it. I loved cooking all week for everyone.
Sunday
This day was a nice relaxing day, we had 80+ people in our family reunion and we slept in a little and all got up for a Sunday morning sacrament meeting. We took family pictures and then all sat down for a few talks. We received a very nice printed program with the typo of 'teetlink' on it. What a great laugh and then Grandma talking about how Calloway was a place where 'The Magic' could happen. Had a great BBQ and ended the day doing the ice cream boogie, Shaila may post the lyrics later.
Monday
Woke up late for breakfast with the family. The girls all had things to do all day, like a summer camp of amazing activities. So the older ones played some putt putt golf, then sat at the beach for a while followed by an afternoon on the floating water park. Aqua Island was amazing! The night ended with an FHE of get to know you games and for those there, "babies, babies, babies oh...."

Tuesday
Dad left, sad morning. I took a drive back to Walmart for watermelon we needed for one of the activities later that day. Shaila, Rachel and their Mom did Zumba. Then in the afternoon was the family olympic games. Shaila and I were team captains and I think our team won! Although no winner was ever announced. We did minute to win it games followed by a sand castle building competition. It was a blast.
Tree top adventures!!!!

Mom: Totally unprepared am I to face this world of Men. homecomings, prom, now weddings too. when will this ever end? (NEVER!) I need someone older and wiser telling me what to do...
