3rd Grade Field Trip to San Diego

The third grade at NCS takes an annual optional field trip to SD to participate in the Floating Lab. Its a boat that goes out and grabs things from the bottom of the bay and then the kids get to inspect them under microscopes as well as feel and touch them.  It's pretty neat. 

So, Justin took the three boys over to SD for the floating lab trip.  They had a blast. They spent time at the beach, did the boat, went to the Aquarium, and then the last day the Zoo.  Since they had to return that day early, the didn't get much time at the zoo, but they had fun none-the-less.  

When it's just the 3 of them they get along and play nicely together.  Its a nice break from the small kids and time with dad.  

It's a nice tradition to begin since they will all eventually go through 3rd grade! 

Look how cute they are!

Hone Family Reunion to Utah

We had another excellent trip to Utah for the Hone Family Reunion this year.  We've made a tradition of heading to Zion and swimming at the swimming hole.  This year Kara and Josh and kiddos met us there and we spent the day sitting in the shade and swimming in the hole while catching tadpoles.  

We then drove up to the Snow College to meet up with everyone else for the Reunion.  

The kids always have a great time playing with cousins and the weekend is nicely organized and the socializing is always nice.  Grandpa has been sick these past few years with cancer, so this was a nice event for everyone to get together with him and make memories.  

I came down with the flu while we were there. That killed a day for me.  But, it was a great time!
