The best of the best

Below are the best pictures from three cameras. Today we slept in and hung around the house. The twins and the boys went for a walk. The boys also helped David with various chores around the house. The sun came out in the afternoon and the boys help hook up the dock for later firework launching. While the sisters were on the constant look out for dock spiders, swatting bugs, and holding Corryn, they occasionally snapped some sensational pictures.

We're in HEAVEN, are you jealous?

On vacation with technology

So... Southwest Airlines is excited to offer satellite-enabled WiFi internet access onboard.  However, they did not have this handy feature offered on any of the flights Debbie, Collin and Hunter took to meet Ranee in Boston.  The hotel in Freeport, Maine had spotty internet which made it difficult for Ranee to work in the middle of the night when she should have been sleeping.  :)  During the ENTIRE drive from "Nowheresville", Maine in search for the Atlantic Ocean (hello... it's huge!  One would think that it would be easily found... not so easy in the fog!) there was NO signal, internet or otherwise, for any of us to make calls, receive calls, check Facebook, play internet games, ANYTHING!

Hooray for technology!  In the rental car we've managed to rig up quite the mobile internet cafe.  As you might notice from the picture we have a variety of gadgets plugged in and running all of our stuff.  We have the boys' computer, the GSlate, Katherine's borrowed TomTom and a cool MiFi thingy all plugged in right now.  Thanks Dad for hooking us up with the power adapter AND for getting us hooked on technology!  :) 

I have to go now as we are now driving in Canada in the dark and apparently there GIANT moose (or is it meese or moosen) we need to watch out for.

Dancing on the Blue

Through a huge family effort we were able to get Matt dancing on the Blue at Boise State University. Hunter and Dad suggested Matt come to Boise, Hunter also suggested dancing on the Blue. Debbie and Ranee did all they could to convince Boise State to allow the event. Lynda and Dad did a lot of prep work (water, notebooks, etc).

Dad, Aunt Nancy, Katherine, Debbie, Tausha, Brendan, Collin and Hunter joined Matt on the Blue for about an hour (while Ranee filmed the clip). Matt and Melissa were kind enough to take us all to dinner afterwards where Matt & Dad nerded out over airplanes.

Matt danced a jig with Hunter in the parking lot.

Also: Taush and I found this in Dad's car. Of course.
