Here Comes Your Father

This summer, I did some major traveling with my mom and two sisters. We did our annual Shakespeare festival trip, which was really fun. We saw Henry V, The Comedy of Errors, As You Like It, and a play named Private Lives. They were all excellent except the non Shakespeare play wasn't really my style. The plays are not the only reason why this is such a fun annual trip. We always eat at least one meal at the venue, which includes turkey legs (myself and my nephew are each holding one in the pictures. He is so cute!) and we spend the days shopping, walking around Ceder City, and just hangning out with the girls.





We also went to New Zealand to visit my moms family. My uncle had passed away and my mom asked if my sisters and I could go out to visit with her as moral support. How could I possibly say no? So we went, and it was wonderful. It was wonderful to see family members that I haven't seen since I was 10 years old. We got to meet my Grandmothers new husband Bob, who we all just adored! We had dinner with my aunt, uncle, Grandfather, Grandmother, Bob, two great aunts, and a great uncle. It was so fun to spend time with all of them. You don't really realize what you're missing until you are around all of them, so the visit was a little bitter sweet. How great it would be if they didn't live an 18 hour plane ride away!
