My Summer! (by: Livi)
My summer has been so full! Since the start of May I've had it all planned out and it's just been go, go, go, but it's also been a ton of fun! I started it out the night of graduation and headed to Washington D.C.!! It was so much fun. My whole class went and we had a blast! If you haven't been you should definitely go. Not only did I learn a ton, but I gained a greater appreciation for our country and all of those who have fought for our freedom.
Us 4 met this Navajo Codetalker that was in the Memorial Day Parade!
Mariah, Beau, Chandler and I got to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier for Memorial Day weekend.
My first look at the Capitol building!
Meeting Senator Barasso! He was way cool.
Some of my class at the White House
Then I went to Girl's State and I learned a ton there and met a lot of awesome girls!
Emily, Shelbi, and I
Sad/happy day, Sulli left on his mission to San Bernardino, California!
Tessa, Dad, Sulli, Mom, Me
Then I had some camps and stuff and then for the BIG trip...Costa Rica!! It is so beautiful there and I had a ton of fun. We went there on a spanish club trip and took about 24 students and 14 adults. Everyone had a great time! I loved the resort we stayed at and all the excursions we went on. But I will say I was glad to get back to America where I could understand what people were saying...haha
Part of our resort! It was so nice!
Volcano Arenal
Culture Shock!
Madi and I in downtown San Jose!
A huge crocodile!
Tessa, my mom and I went to Alaska! We were gone for 16 days, and it was 16 days of FUN! I loved hanging out with all my cousins. There was hardly ever a dull moment. My grandparents also had their 60th wedding anniversary party while we were up there so that was way cool! The highlight of the trip was probably the last day though! I went with my Uncle Dave up to Brook's Falls and got to watch all the bears fish! It was amazing!

Saying goodbye!
I just got back yesterday from an awesome Daddy-Daughters trip to Phoenix Arizona. My dad took us 5 girls down there to a Phoenix Mercury game and we did some fun things along the way. It was just so fun even though we are all so spread out in age that we could still have so much in common and still have such a great time. I love my family!
All of us at the Mercury game!
And now after all that fun it's the last week of summer and two-a-day's start next Monday. I've got a lot to do this week, but I wouldn't have changed any of these experiences for anything! I'm sure I won't have the opportunity to do some of these things ever again and I just hope I'm able to remember everything that I've learned and seen.
