VISIT WITH THE PALMERS

We finally got to visit with the Palmers!  The last time we saw them was when Julia was born and I was 6 months pregnant with Sam.  Now they have 4 kids and we have 3,
so we had 7 kids 6 and under.  

Julia-6, Sam-6, Genevieve, Henry, and Luke-4, Teddy-3, Tessa-2

We went to an awesome children's museum with an awesome view of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Magic Tree House is Sam's JAM
and they had a whole EXHIBIT!

FIJIAN BRANCH

Ryan and Sam
He was so sweet with our kids.  

Our Fijian family. Salu, Emma, Ryan and Pita

This was the friendliest church of which I have ever been.
They asked Ryan to give his testimony during Sacrament
meeting.  Ryan did half of it in fijian.  It was really something
to see this side of him.  He immediately became a Fijian.

Our two Ryans.  What a handsome and sweet young man he has become! 

VISIT WITH THE HURRANS

We then went to stay with Jamie, Lamar, David, Ava, Roslyn and Grace.
David was a baby at our wedding.  We went on an awesome hike.

Sam thought the world of David.
