Sept.-Oct. 2016 Good times between ID & AZ

 The first days of Sept. Dad &I went to a VB tournament at Yavapai College. That meant we could watch Aubrey play 4 VB games & be with the Kleinmans. Win. Win.

 The boys were really enjoying watching the games & keeping score. There are two courts going for tournaments, and it's hard to see the score table most of the time.

Sorry I don't take great pictures. Aubrey is hitting & blurry!

 Her hair covers her number 11.

 Again a blurry hitter.

 Aubrey stayed with us for Sunday, because of Labor Day on Monday.

 The boys made quite the fort with the air mattresses.

I went back to AZ by myself the last part of Sept. I was in PV for a few days, then drove to Yuma to see EAC play against AZ Western. Kinda a crazy drive, but so great to  watch "our kids" play sports.

 I stayed longer than originally thought, because Nathan wanted me to watch his Saturday soccer game. The first half of the game he plays________?position. The second half he is goalie.

 Sunday was my 55th birthday. As you can see, they treated me very special.

Yes, that's Kleinman'a at our house. How very fun for us!

 We pulled out the old blue tent. There was plenty of room in the house, the weather was a bit chilly, but grandpa really wanted to sleep out in the tent, with the kids.  There are a lot of farm stories as part of this up & coming tradition.

 Kendal & Claire joined us Saturday night & Sunday.

 Bracken is very good at building his kind of Hawaiian Haystacks.

 For dessert they were dressed up!

Games, Bocce ball, Spot it, a puzzle, the trampoline......filled the evening

Summer 2016, Kingston's in ID, SLC, SD & AR

 This is the best picture I got of Chelsea's birthday July 20th. James LOVED the crepes. Chelsea chose an ice cream cake, but the best we could come up with was custard at Freddies, before was Thai for lunch & dinner at Red Robin.

 I think some Kingston boy monkey's have been jumping on the bed.

 Lava Hot Springs. James enjoyed the green and red slides you can see in the background. He would have gone down them all day if we had let him. He liked the red one best.

 Singing with Aunt Aubrey.

 trampoline fun

 Temple Square

 Hard to capture a picture with these boys.

 The youth parade for July 24th. We enjoyed it.

 Swimming at the hotel in Lusk, WY.  Perfect for these boys!

 Chuck wagon breakfast.

 Those are bikes you can ride any time for free.

 Mountain Rushmore, as Sammy puts it.

I would suggest to all, this is a great place to experience. Very Patriotic.  Sad our countries leaders have gotten so far from where these great men  started.

 Kayaking and fishing with Marci, Gunner & Steph.  Not easy, takes a lot of practice.

 Love the water!

Thank you all for great summer memories.
