Our vacation.

The kids and I went on vacation this summer. Lloyd could not go because he had an OCS class. Too bad he couldn't go, because we had so much fun. It was great getting to see so many family members. Junior and Ruby were spoiled to death. Oh, and we got out of the extreme heat of the desert for a couple of weeks. I don't care what anyone says, the humidity was a relief from what we are used to in this desert!

HPIM2661 Junior with his Aunties. We went to the Central Dairy ice cream shop two times while in Missouri. It is probably the best ice cream I can ever remember eating. Yummy. If you are ever in the area, you must check it out!   

Pamela and Junior go crazy for Jiffy pop!  HPIM2691 

After a few days in Mo we jaunted over to TN to visit our family there. Here are some more pics!
