King Family Reunion 2022

We had a King Family reunion in Ramona, CA, which is in the San Diego area and where Nana and Jamie are living now. We got a Vrbo or Air BnB, can't remember which, in a nearby town and stayed there. The first day, we met at a park and had a cookout and played games. Everyone but Zach was able to be there. Because my van is still in the shop, we took a rental car to California.

 

Youth Conference

Youth Conference this year was local. The first day they did some ropes course. Caleb participated. Eliza did not because she was nervous about it. Travis did not get to go to the ropes course part because he had summer school for advancement (he's taking Spanish II in summer school so he can fit choir, football, and culinary all in his schedule next year). They also met up at the Shaffer stadium here in Wylie to do team building games. They had a service project of cleaning and planting at the temple grounds. They went to Hawaiian Falls as an activity. And they had a dance. It looked like a good time. I'm glad they posted pictures that I was able to pull off the youth conference website.  Included is also a picture of Eliza with the young women at temple baptisms the week before.

 

Gymnastics at Hawaiian Falls

The gymnastics that Annmarie goes to always has a summer party at Hawaiian Falls. We brought Elliott along for the fun. The other picture here is from a water play day that the girls had in the parking lot at gymnastics.

 

Haircut and Glasses

Annmarie decided to go super short with her hair when I took her in for a trim. She has always had such long hair, so this is really different. She also had been complaining during the school year of vision issues and it turns out that she needs glasses. It took a few weeks, but they finally came in and she is very cute in them!

 

Piano Recital

For Father's Day, we had a piano recital for the grandparents. I stopped taking outside students when Nathan started kindergarten but have continued teaching my own kids. Nathan only just started with the basics at the beginning of summer.  So we put on a recital to give them an opportunity to dress up and perform their music. And Nathan gave Corey a paper tie that he colored in primary. 

In-N-Out Picnic 2022

The In-N-Out picnice this year was at Epic Waters, an indoor water park. Corey has a bunch of youth from the ward (and a few from other wards) working for him and they were all there at the picnic. Caleb unfortunately had his tonsils out right before the picnic, so he did not come with us to the picnic. And of course, Westley is already gone on his mission.
