Summer Lovin

Shortest summer ever.  So, we are back in Peru.  With wintertime here in the south and the school bell ringing Monday morning the evidence was in.  Summer vacay over.  In this odd life we repeat winter/summer for a not your typical year, so don't be packing the swimsuits up yet.

And it may have been summer in North America but did someone tell Alaska?


Cruising to Alaska with Disney


Colton did not want to get his photo taken but he is going to love these pics of him and Woody



and Captain Mickey,


 and Mrs. Incredible!


 Mickey and Minnie were his pals by this time.



So funny story.  Emily met the boy in front of Pluto when we were still in Vancouver.  He was standing with his cousin at the ship rail as we began sailing and the three of them began talking.  Emily told them she was from OK?! (which she does sometimes), and the two boys said they were from Tulsa, ha!  But twilightzoneweirder than that, the girl in the green sweatshirt is from Peru and goes to the same school as Emily!


Seriously, how many schools are there in the world?


Colton drove this boat


to these 12 whales.  We seriously thought we were on the Discovery channel with this spectacle.  The whales surrounded the boat (sometimes touching the boat) for nearly an hour, surfacing like this eight times.


The captain said never go on another whale watching trip because nothing would ever compare.

That was not the only boat we sailed on this summer.


Some awesome friends got a brand new sailboat, it was so fun to go out with them.  I love where we live.  The couple on the right have a missionary son in the Jenks, OK Ward right now!

So a month of summertime:
*7 days on a cruise
*a week for Emily at Adventure For Youth


*a week with family


didn't leave much time



for planking,


pyramids
(They were trying to qualify for awkward family photos.)


or parades.


I want this


and that.
