McCall-me-sometime

Danny and Jill have a boat and man is it fun. We dove, swam, played, trespassed onto a floating trampoline that wasn't ours, did back flips, and wake boarded. There were some GREAT times had on the boat that week.

Danny in his awesome tuxedo shirt and the best man.

These two were pretty serious the whole time. NOT!

Seesters, Jill and Kelsey

After our trespassing on the trampoline. Man it was fun, but not nearly as bouncy as a trampoline on a ground. I was surprised.

Carter talking to Jill, giving her tips, before she wake boarded.

Sisters breaking the law. I am so disappointed in you two. Ha ha!

McCall

We were lucky enough to be invited to be part of Jason's best friend, Danny, and Jill's wedding in late August at Payette Lake in McCall, ID. They rented this AMAZING house and invited us to stay and Jason got to be the best man at the wedding. How great is that?

Thanks from the bottom of our hearts. We had a blast. It was relaxing, FUN, and exactly what we needed to end a perfect summer. You two are a wonderful couple and we wish you all the best.

Love,
The Montgomery's :-)

The amazing house and the sweet sandbox that came with it. Carter obviously loved the sandbox.

  

He is such a big boy now. Almost 18 months.

Cousins

My cousin Sarah, her husband, and daughters finally came to Idaho in August. It was a great reunion after 6 years. Sarah and I used to hang out quite a bit in the summers when we were young kids, but it had been awhile since I had seen her. It was so nice see Sarah, Josh, and to finally meet their cute little girls. I only wish our visit could have been longer. I hope you guys had as much fun as we did. You all are welcome back any time, and I can't wait to come visit you and stay in your beautiful new home in St. Louis!

Its funny, all the pictures I got were at the coffee shop the morning they left. Except this first one of Hunts. She came upstairs before anyone else while I was getting ready for work. :-)

Huntleigh directing Ally somewhere?

Second cousins, or maybe first cousins once removed? Carter, Lucy, Huntleigh

Carter and Lucy

It looks like Carter is giving Huntleigh a fist bump. Or, perhaps he's trying to get some trail mix?

Katie, their very nice sitter, and Lucy. I think this is where Huntleigh started snapping photos with my camera.

Cousins reunited. Sarah and I.

Huntleigh took this of her Mom and Dad. Great job Hunts!

The two youngest cousins

Now we go back in time...

San Diego

Carter I headed to San Diego in late July for the Orzolek Family Reunion. This is Lisa's sweet sweet Polish family. These family reunions are held every two years, generally in a different city, based on the family members that are hosting it. The Granacki's from San Diego hosted it this time. Word on the street is the next one is in Chicago hosted by the Elliott's. Can I get a woot woot?!!!

The flight there was, um, hectic, to downplay it (Carter cried for about 70 minutes straight), but once we got there, we had a GREAT time. What a beautiful city and great temps!

Our first adventure was to SeaWorld. Dad, Celia, Paul, Carter and I all went. It was amazing. The whale show was fun. I only wish we had more time to spend at SeaWorld because there was SO much to see and do. Especially the Sesame Street Play of Bay. Carter was in heaven. I highly recommend this area to anyone with 1-year olds to maybe 5-year olds. Carter rode his first ride here - Elmo's flying fish! :-)

The rest of the time was spent lounging, swimming, walking around, taking a sunset boat ride, and spending time at the family reunion get-togethers, which are always a blast! Carter and I are lucky we got to go and the flight home went much more smoothly. :-)

My little brothers and sisters are growing up so fast. Celia, 15, Jackson, 20, me, Tom, 17.

Carter really loves Grandpa John.

Carter and his little buddy Brody. He was 5 months older than Carter.

HUGE jellyfish. Biggest I've ever seen!

As Ron Burgundy would say, "You stay Classy San Diego."
