I put this entry in backwards. Start at the bottom; it will probably make more sense.

Going on the shuttle to the pool.





You don't know how happy Mikaya and Avery were to see their daddy when we got home from our trip. He looks pretty excited too.



Avery took our picture, from her car seat, while we were driving home through Zion's National Park, from Idaho/Utah.




Avery loved seeing Zion's, and I let her take some pictures as we drove. So, we have some really great pictures of Zion's from a whole bunch of different, somewhat crazy angles. She took about a hundred, so we did get some normal ones, too. They fell asleep like this after we left the park. I guess the new scenery wasn't nearly as exciting.



Avery and Mikaya camped in the tent with my mom.



Avery and Mikaya got to take a much safer ride (see the next entry) around the campsite on "Sassy" and "Trouble", who were actually the nicest and calmest horses.



While we were camping for a night with my parents at the KOA, Coral and I decided to ride horses together, but there was a mix up and not enough spaces for us both to go. It ended up being probably a good thing I didn't go, because the route they took was right by a cliff. One of the teenage girls and her horse actually fell right over into a bush. Luckily it wasn't by the cliff. I think that the route they took would have been a little too much for me! Coral was just glad to be alive when she got back, but surprisingly still had a smile on her face.





We had so much fun visiting my parents this summer, while Coral was at EFY for part of the time. We went swimming, shopping, took a trip to the dairy to get some ice cream, played paper dolls, changed out my windshield (very necessary), went to a delicious Chinese restaurant, and went camping. My mom and I even got to go to Education Week at BYU Idaho. I loved having my mom all to myself for the day.




I don't have any pictures, but we got to see more of my cousins. I loved seeing Jared, Jason, Nicole, and Evan, and their awesome families. We had so much fun having/watching a huge water fight, that my mom jumped in on, with her sister, Becky.



My dad with Avery. They love their Grandpa Minton.





I was so excited to see my cousin Callie. We all love her! Her son Jordan is leaving for a mission soon. It was so fun to laugh and joke around with them again.



Swimming at the hotel.




Avery and her favorite toy at my parent's house.




They aren't quite ready but, they ate them anyway. My mom usually makes tons of delicious apple sauce out of the apples when they are fully ripe.



Eating Apples from G & G Minton's apple trees.


Swinging at Grandma & Grandpa Minton's.




We took Coral to EFY at BYU again this summer. We always take a rode trip up to drop her off and then continue up to see my parents. I love it because I get to talk to Coral a lot during the drive. We also love to play music to pass the time and enjoy eating fast food (for a few days). Of course fast food gets old pretty fast and we are ready for real food pretty quick. We went swimming when we got to the hotel and dropped Coral off the next morning at BYU, after eating at the Creamery. She was in the exact dorm I was in, while I was at BYU, for EFY this time.
