My Washington Trip in July & August



My Washington trip was amazing! Here is a picture of the cheerios race car! I went to Uncle John's in the end of July for his lapband surgery. Though he couldn't eat anything Aunt Louise and I still needed food, so we went to Walmart and there was the cheerios race car there in the front!
Though the photo is blurry this is the Pasco Washington Temple! I was able to go there and spend a afternoon there where Uncle John was at home. I was so amazed at how beautiful it was. It was the first time I had been to a "mini" temple and though it was a small temple, it still had the most wonderful spirit! I loved it, and can't wait to go back!

WI in June

for the month of June I went home to WI to help out on the farm. It was haying season and another hand is always welcome. I was so wonderful seeing everyone and being able to play with Tasha! she has gotten so big! I think the happiest to see me was Lucy! she didn't want to leave my side! and here is a picture of her watching me making sure I don't go anywhere. While there I was able to go to Tae Kwon Do and see my friends! It was a great month with allot of work!

Before we left FL, we went to Lake Land to Visit uncle Robert, Kendall and I stayed at his home. It was wonderful getting to spend time with him! He and Aunt Sandy took us to the movie "Night in the museum 2" and the next morning we went to visit Aunt Sandy's parents for dinner. This picture is us out by a swamp looking for alligators!


This is a picture of Michale and me in Uncle Roberts Garden. He had come over for lunch with 2 of his sons and he soon-to-be wife. It was great hearing stories about David; while we were there we found out the Uncle Roberts shed had been broken into and things were missing. Uncle Robert said that he thought it was the guys who lived in the house behind his, my first response was to go over there and beat them up! get Uncle Roberts stuff back and come home! Michael started laughing and said that was exactly was David would have said and that I defiantly was a Sullivan! I just wanted to get the stuff back and it seemed like the best way to do it! They called the cops. Oh well.

Our Ocean Trip in FL

Kendall and I were able to go to the ocean before we left Florida in May. We went to Clear Water beach with Bill and his family. I haven't been to the ocean since David died. It was my 8th birthday and Becky had decided that we should go to FL to get away from the cold weather. So March 4th 1995 we went to FL, and it was the first time I was away from home for a birthday, but it was also the first time I was able to be with David on my birthday. I was given a NoMad which was the first hand held gaming system with a back light and a colored screen. I was so happy. When I got to the beach this day, I was thinking about how when I was little I would go with Joe and we would play there for hours. Steve and Becky always got a hotel by the ocean so that we could go down whenever we wanted to. I ran into the water and started diving into the waves! It was so much fun, then I remembered the last time I made a sand castle and was telling Kendall about it, so we then decided it was something we needed to do.
Bill and his sons' were being attacked by seagulls, and so we snapped a picture! Poor Bill had been spending so much time here that he started getting a sun burn! I love how the sand is so white!

We came to the beach about 5 o'clock when the sun was going down so that no one would get anymore sun burns.
Kendall standing with the ocean behind him. I was the first time he had seen the gulf of Mexico, and so we had to take a picture~ it was such a wonderful day, and we had so much fun! I only wish we had a body board to ride the waves better.
