It's August

It's August and we're back. We had a great vacation in Idaho and Utah. We had a good time, and it's nice to be home again. I especially love being back to our Bay Area Weather.

The high yesterday was 66 degrees.

Today it's supposed to reach 71, ant it'll be up to the low 80s by the weekend.

It's August.

Beautiful.

Pictures from the reunion will have to come later- we probably have over 500 between all of us and I don't have them all nor have I sorted through the ones I do have. In the meantime, I do have these to share:

Our first stop in Utah was Cafe Rio for lunch with Marci's family. It was just as delicious as we remembered and the kids were happy to get out of the van. They had a fun time with their friends and just picked up on right where they left off a year ago!

After the LFR, we had a small New Jersey Reunion. Our friends, the Cannons, are living in their cabin in Island Park right now, so we met them and our friend, Dori, there. We miss them all and had such a fun couple of days with them!

We made a stop at BYU so we could go bowling, eat in the Cougar Eat (which ended up being closed) and buy some new BYU t-shirts. I love going back. It always remind me of when my mom and dad would take us back to BYU when we were little. Garrett likes to hear stories about when he went to class with me once or twice when he was a baby, or how we'd meet Matt on campus and eat bagels.

And just before we returned, we helped Grandma Payne celebrate her 90th Birthday!

It was fun to see so many cousins and relatives from the Payne family!
