Kaley turned 8 this year and is in the 3rd grade! In June she celebrated her birthday with a few of her closest girlfriends. This year the girls painted ceramics at Color Me Mine and ate dinner at Johnny Rockets!

This summer was less busy than prior years. Kaley decided to discontinue gymnastics at the end of July. She spent two weeks at art camp this summer and the rest of her time she was at home driving dad crazy. The highlight of her vacation was spending her first week away from home without her parents! She spent a fun-filled week at The Villages with her Grandma Challis. They had so much fun at all the camps and doing activities together.

Kaley is continuing chorus at school this year. She continues to do very well in school and her parents couldn’t be more proud! She made Star Honor Roll for her first semester! (photo right)

Orlando Spring Break Vacation April 6-9, 2009

Kaley and her mom spent their Spring Break in Orlando. This was Kaley’s first time to both SeaWorld and Universal Studios! It was absolutely freezing and very, very windy. The day that they visited Universal, the temperature dropped into the low 40‘s. With the wind chill it was almost unbearable! The girls endured and had a fun trip in Orlando!

This year Amy and Kristin took their fall vacation out west to the great Sate of Washington! If you remember their trip to Vermont last year, they visited the highest peak in the northeastern U.S. at 6,288 feet! This year they visited Mt. Rainier, standing at 14,411 feet!

Day one started with a trip to the most northwestern point in the United States, Cape Flattery. At the end of the trail Kristin spotted a gray whale! Off to Forks, WA to get in a little

Twilight fix and then a hike in the Hoh Rainforest. They ended their first day watching the sunset at LaPush Beach!

Day two was spent hiking around the Olympic National Park. First a hike at Sol Duc Falls, then Crescent Lake and Marymere Falls! They finished day two hiking Hurricane Ridge.

They ferried from Port Angeles and spent day three & four in Victoria, British Columbia. They saw Butchart Gardens, Hatley Castle and Fort Rodd & Fisgard Lighthouse. They were lucky to have seen humpback whales on both ferry trips to and from Canada!

The last two days were spent in Seattle. They drove 40 minutes east of Seattle to hike Snoqualmie Falls and then drove 2 hours south to hike Mt. Rainier and it SNOWED!
