August in Review

Now on to August...a fun month in which Whitney finished up her 16 performances as a Munchkin in The Wizard of Oz and celebrated her 9th birthday. Olivia started Kindergarten! And all three kids began the routine of school! With all three older kids in school, Carter has figured out that he can be extremely mobile and has developed his own unique crawl. Last but not least, Marc is in his last semester of grad school!! We also took a day and went to Lava Hot Springs. And our family enjoyed our first experience picking Huckleberries!


Olivia standing outside the school -- she loves to ride the bus with Whitney and Bryce!







While taking a lunchbreak from picking berries, the bees started to swarm. Bryce ended up with Carter because the bees seemed to especially love him!




The Winkies took a fancy to Carter after the show!





Here's where we went to pick huckleberries...a fun experience for a tasty treat.





Carter enjoying the day in Lava Hot Springs, at the pool.





With the Olympics going on, Whitney requested a swimming pool cake. The kids loved watching Michael Phelps and are striving to be great swimmers.




Technically it was July when Grandma and Grandpa Johnson came to visit and went to see Whitney perform.






Then in August, Grandma and Grandpa Torgesen stopped in to see the local star as well!





The pool in Lava Hot Springs...a great way to spend a warm day!
