Summer Fun





Here's all the Garner cousins at Lynn & Rita's. Top from left to right: Eliza, Olivia, Belle & Alexus
Bottom from left to right: Lilli (Andrea's), Kale & Jaden (Jared's). Sorry there were no pictures with all 7 looking up.










Here are 3 of the 4 sets of twins on the Walker side of the family. This was at the Walker reunion at Priest Lake. The oldest are my cousin Loren Cox's twin boys, Campbell & Cooper. There's my Alexus & Olivia on the right and the youngest are my cousin Jaynae Bunch's twins,(which happen to be the only boy & girl set) Eleanor & Allister. Not pictured are my cousin Randa Headrick's twin girls.






We went camping on the coast at Deception Pass State Park again this summer. It's kind of our Stark Family Reunion tradition. It's always fun. I could tell it's getting easier with the twins being older because we got camp taken down before noon this year.












Erik and I took advantage of a free babysitter, free hotel stay and free flight and went to Vegas for 3 days. We did enjoy being tourists. We went to a dinner theatre and ate at one of Mario Batali's restaurants, San Marco, just so we could say we did it. Boy, can you go through the money there. I do have to say one of the water shows in front of the Bellagio was my favorite. It was so beautiful I cried. (I know what a baby.)








I felt like I really should have noted Eliza's kindergarten graduation at the beginning of summer. But, better late than never. We are very proud of her. She received a Reading Fluency Award, the Principal's Award, an American Citizenship Award, & the President's Education Award from Barack Obama.

I love summer! I bet it has been beautiful up in your neck of the woods . . .

How fun to see all of your sibling's kids too! I bet your parents are so proud to have such cute grandchildren.

HOW FUN that you went on a trip without the kids- how did you score that?? I am so glad you got to go do that! Can you sense a hint of jealousy??

Awesome. Love to see those girls. I hardly got a glimpse of Eliza and Belle on our trip. They are getting so independent.

I miss my little friends! Next you should take advantage of a cousin in Florida and come see us! I will watch your girls...I'm in need of some more hugs from my short legged BFF!
