XC Camp and Salt Lake Visit

Our fun summer is winding down, sigh. It sure has been great, though. Here are a couple of the last new exciting occurrences:

Cross-Country Camp Kinley's grandpa is the Cross-Country coach and each year does a camp for elementary and high school athletes. Kinley thought this sounded fun, so she asked her mom, dad, and grandpa if she could go. We all agreed after telling her that it involved running. She simply answered, "I like running." She proved it! She ran at least a mile each day and even ran TWO miles one day. She got the youngest camper award, which was a water bottle. We're so proud of her, especially since it was her idea! (Kin running w/MahLee in the picture)

Salt Lake Visit
Later in the week, Jeep had a conference in Salt Lake, so we decided to make a trip of it and finish up some school shopping. We stayed with another of my favorite cousins, Rachel Merrell. She and Jason just moved up north, and it was fun hanging out with them and seeing their new place! (We even got some EXTRA time with them when we got a flat tire on the way home and ended up staying an extra night - fun times) Plus, we got to see my cousin Marina (yup, another fave) and her family as well as Charis and her family. The girls loved visiting so many loved ones and swimming in the pool! (Kin, Carly, Alissa-eating pizza in the pic)
