We thought spring would never get here. But, I have a friend who loves to work in her yard and she helped me make a plan for our yard. We spent a lot of time this spring buying and planting new bushes, trees &amp; flowers. It is really coming together.</span><br />

<div>The first week in May Kip and I went to New York City for four days. It was a reward trip from Kip&#8217;s employer. Highlights were some amazing restaurants, a boat trip around Manhattan, dinner and a show at the “Blue Note” jazz club, and three broadway plays. It was very memorable.</div>

In June, Quinn graduated from preschool and Emma graduated from Elementary school. Our stake youth did a pioneer reenactment trek. Abby found it to be very hard but very rewarding.</p>

It is an amusement park, water park &amp; beach. We rented a great little cabin near the park and had a blast. Emma surprised us all by going on every roller coaster (and they have some of the world’s fastest and highest coasters). Best of all it was a time for us to be together and get some rest.</p>
