August 2021

  August 2021 August 3 Kory and I began our roadtrip to the Oregon coast. We headed over through Boise and had a smooth trip, eating junk food and listening to the first Harry Potter on audio book. Unfortunately, we reached Portland around rush hour, so it was a little tense getting through there, but we made it. We were so focused on traffic that we didn’t get gas and then realized there weren’t many gas stations between Portland and the coast. We slid into Seaside on fumes and immediately filled up. Then, we found our cute little Airbnb cottage a little outside of Seaside in a town called Gearhart. It’s a nice, quiet little town. Our Airbnb was located behind a flower shop, so it was surrounded by beautiful flowers and really quiet…not a lot of traffic and other guests like in a hotel.  We unpacked and then headed down to the beach at Seaside. We ate some clam chowder in bread bowls at Mo’s, and then walked down by the water, hoping to see some sunset. It was really cloudy...

July 2021

  July 2021 On July 2, we had fun visiting with Jodi’s family from Vernal.  July 3 was the day of all of the 4 th of July celebrations. We had an early morning breakfast with Austin’s family and the kids, then Kenzie joined us, and we all watched the parade with Leah’s family near Tautphaus Park. Later that day we had a barbeque and Austin made delicious smashburgers. Later, Kory, me, Austin, Andy, Lakyn, and Isaac watched the fireworks down at Snake River Landing. We rode our bikes down and back, which was quite the adventure with car and pedestrian traffic. Caleb had to work and Chloe watched with friends. July 4 th was Sunday, so we went to church, visited in Sugar City, and watched Driveway of Fire at the Sorenson’s house. On Monday, July 5 th , we went to Rexburg Rapids with Kenzie and Greg, Austin and Stevie and Chloe and her friend Emily. It was a great day. On July 8, Morgan biked down to Orange Leaf with her young women group to have some frozen yogurt.  ...
