Raine’s first day of High School at Collegiate Academy (9th grade)
Carter’s first day of 7th grade
*** UPDATED ***
9/5 – Raine needed a headshot for her spirit team tryouts so I took some in the backyard. She ended up not trying out though because she was refereeing during tryouts and never got around to submitting a video instead.

July 8, after leaving the McKay family reunion we drove up to Lake Cleveland in the top of the mountains. They were stocking the lake with fish when we arrived so the kids caught some shocked fish with their bare hands.
Our flight didn’t leave until Saturday, so we decided to stay in Park City Friday night. Raine had a migraine and puked out the window, down the side of the car, twice, on the way down! Grandma and Grandpa came up to Park City to meet us for dinner but we left Raine and Carter in the hotel room across the street and just ordered them a pizza!
July 9, we rode the alpine slide and mountain coaster before heading down the mountain to the airport.
