Reunions

We had a fun time at the Sorensen Family Reunion at the Heber Girls Camp in Utah. It was great: cabins for each of the families, fire pits and benches close to each of the cabins, a big common area for times when the whole clan was together and access to the awesome "Ropes" course (which is really a bunch of different activities to that teach cooperation, teamwork, perseverance and other important qualities - plus it was great fun). It was fun to get together with all the family. On one of the days we had a family tug-of-war. We let the kids join in for the "easy" round, and then it was just the adults (we didn't want any little bodies getting hurt). Earlier this summer we had another family reunion in Washington - the Grant Family reunion. We went to a fun park in Spokane with a giant sized wagon to play in and sky buckets to ride in (which were excruiciatingly HOT), a carousel to ride, fun playground, etc. We spent the fourth of July on the Lake in Cour de' Lane. We had a family talent show and enjoyed fun days together.

Walking

He finally decided it was time to get up and walk. He's been getting braver about letting go when he is standing next to the couch, but it wasn't until this week that he decided to try and take some steps. Then it wasn't just one or two steps - he wanted to walk the whole length of the room. He was so proud of himself!! He giggled every time he would let go of us and walk to the other side of the room. So cute!!
