 
          The kids love hiking in the woods   | 
           
          Daddy, Eli and Katie climbed up the base of a tree   | 
        
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
           
          Playing in the river is so much fun   | 
           
          Too bad we forgot the swimsuits  | 
        
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
           
          Eli is always the first one in   | 
           
          Katie hiked up the steep hill by herself   | 
        
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
           
          At the beach with Uma and the Hoffs   | 
           
          Too very cold boys   | 
        
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
           
          Our little angel walking with her Uma   | 
           
          "Look at this crab!"   | 
        
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
           
          "Isn't it neat?"   | 
           
          "Cheese!"  | 
        
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
           
          The sand can be so much fun   | 
           
          Collecting all our sea treasures   | 
        
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
           
          Sarah's dad, Steve had a great time   | 
           
          But sister Amanda was really cold   | 
        
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
           
          Eli is a big digger   | 
           
          Giving loves to cousin James   | 
        
        
           | 
           | 
        
        
           
          James and his mom, Llori (Sarah's aunt)   | 
           
          The kids had a blast testing out the seats of  the used  car we just bought to replace our older, less-reliable one   |
