Busy Summer 2018

We had a very busy summer in 2018.  We have really enjoyed our time in Claresholm, and made many great friends while living there.  An opportunity came up in Cardston for Richard to practice there, so we made the difficult decision to pick up and move to Cardston.  We spent a good chunk of the summer trying to get ready for that move and find a place to live, as we wanted to get settled in before school started.  We were still able to do fun things such as spend some time in Waterton and go to Utah.  We even joined Leslie's family at Lake Powell, which was a first for Thomas, Mason, Luke and David.

Although we were a bit nervous for the long drive to Utah with David, he did very well overall.  We stopped overnight in Peoa at Leslie's parents, then got up the next day and drove another 6 hours to Page, Arizona so that we could be ready for Lake Powell.

We survived Lake Powell, which is an accomplishment with 5 little boys.  We spent the following week in Peoa.  Not long after returning to Peoa, Leslie decided to try to step back in time and skateboard.  Despite being warned by her very wise husband, she stepped on the board, made it about 2 feet, then promptly fell, landing on her left arm.  Well, that fall ended up being an expensive one for our insurance company, as she sustained a radial head fracture.

She was a good sport, and although injured, she didn't slow down.  We spent a fun week with cousins and friends.

August was very busy, as we were constantly packing.  We found a home to purchase in Cardston, and were fortunate enough to sell our home in Claresholm as well.
