Vandemerwe Reunion

We crammed into the back of a truck... to attempt the impossible.
Roger Banister was the first person to run a mile under 4 mins.
We had the same goal to do as a family. Everyone who was able, ran as fast as they could as many steps as years old they were, then passed the baton (a rubber chicken) to the next person to do the same, until a mile was covered... and we did it! Our time was 3:14!
Breakfast after the run
Games and lots of fun!











A visit from Auntie Rachel, James and Katie



Raja brought his raft so the kids could all get a turn to float. A week later, Natalia was telling her nursery teacher all about her boat and riding in it- boat/raft- same thing!



Katie is so adorable!


Whewwww... all tuckered out after a fun few days!

Rexburg

CONGRATULATIONS SARAH!!!
(ironically, we don't have cap and gown pics, but we are very proud of Sarah's accomplishments!)
Rexburg has a deluxe water playground!







The Carousel was next to the water park and snow cones.
This is at a childrens museum where Sarah did her internship. It was so fun to see where she worked and all of the fun activities the kids could do.


A Clown and Water Balloons

The library has a special activity each week, this one was a visit from a clown. She brought water balloons- the kids had a great time.

Lemonade Stand

Nothing says "summer" like a good 'ol fashion lemonade stand. Andrew and Natalia looked forward to doing this for a week. Andrew was very diligent and stayed at it for about 3 hours during the hottest part of the day. He earned $8 and payed Natalia $1.10 for her help the first 1/2 hour. They were eager to pay tithing , especially once they realized that their tithing could help to build a temple.

Jump off the diving board day!



... we all lived through it, and will happily do it again next year:)
