Jerry was intent on finding rock to polish.
Charlotte thought this huge seaweed was so cool. I'm actually surprised she picked it up since it was kind of gelatanous, but she used it to chase the other kids with.
Jerry jr. skipping rocks. The kids loved being 'allowed' to throw rocks.
Everone got to touch the ocean in the Gulf of Alaska. It was pretty cold, but the color was amazing, so blue and clear. 
Ashley Quinten James Harris was born while we were on our girl's week trip. He is so sweet. Congratulations, Tiffany, Jerome, and Peyton.
My sister, Heather, and I spent a kid free week in Las Vegas. Here are our 'glamour' shots.
Heather on her horse Goliath. We really enjoyed our ride (it was my first), but I was sore for three days afterward.
The fountain in the lobby of the Palazzo, probably the most beautiful of the hotels we saw.
Levi and Jerry III had a great time at camp this year. I was one of the den leaders for Levi's den so I missed out on pictures of Jerry in action. They both earned shooting award for BB guns and archery.
Jeneva and Georgiana loved playing in the sand even though their sand toys wouldn't turn out shapes.
Jerry jr. was braving the cold surf to take the older kids in. Some were reluctant at first, but once they learned how to jump with the waves they loved it.
Burying each other in the sand was another hit. Levi got a little clausterphobic when he was buried, but the rest thought it was great fun.
Don't get sand in Charlotte's eyes! 
This was the families first attempt at hiking. The kids did amazingly well which was surprising, because the trail was two mile up a mountain and two miles back. They were all excited to have their own camelbacks and could take a drink whenever they wanted. The only problem was no bathrooms until the top. I think I was wiped out the most. 
My dad passed away May 31, 2011 and we will miss him. I look forward to the day when we can meet again and our understanding will be better and we can share the joy of the gospel with each other.
