The rest of what we got

Cambria (my cousin) came with us to the Zoo and was a big hit. Here we are at Multnomah Falls on the way to Rushton Reunion on the Puget Sound. We made it the 10 hours there and had a great time with our family. It was probably the most relaxing part of the whole trip. So relaxing that I forgot the battery charger for the camera and that's where our summer vacation pics end. Stay tuned for more with our new and improved camera! We got some cute stuff of Samo walking and riding his horsey. And I don't have a great explanation of Holly and Sarah. They are buddies, and I guess you just had to be there!

More West side stuff

Sarah on the carousel and cooking with Aunt Holly. She loves Aunt "Hawee". And here are a couple at the Portland Zoo. A couple more to come.

Salem fun

Here's Gma reading "Little Black Sambo" to Sarah (she calls it "Little Black Sandal" - she does love shoes!) Here are the kids on the carousel at Riverfront park and hanging out with Gma April and Gpa Cliff. Samo is trying to lick his horse and yes, Bradlee is riding a donkey like that.

Connor's graduation/Brandon's speech

Dr. Smith (that's Brandon - when they first introduced him, all his siblings snickered!) was given an honorary award and gave a speech at the awards night prior to graduation. Here we all are, and here is Connor and Brianna. Bradlee is quite taken with her, actually! But I guess he and Connor are pretty similar. Brandon found a pic of Ryne and Connor when they were 4 and 6 and Bradlee was positive it was he and Jacob. Pretty funny.

Eastern Oregon

This group includes a picture of Sarah's dog, Rayne. She asks everyone if they have a dog, even me, because she has a dog named Rayne. I like this conversation a lot better than when she would ask women if they had a baby because she had a baby named Samuel. They always thought she was asking if they were pregnant! She and Rihanne (her 2nd cousin) played doctor for an hour, listening to each other's bellies. It was pretty cute. And this is Sarah and Gpa Smith (or Gma Smith, apparently they are interchangeable) up at their house. How many kids can fit in Papa's tree?

Zach and Chantelle's wedding

Here we are at Brandon's cousin's wedding. The monkey in the background is Ryne, before Bradlee told him, "You look like Luke Skywalker, except Luke Skywalker's not a princess and he doesn't have a ponytail." Ryne cut his hair the next day! The big pic is of all the Sintay cousins there in age order. And here is Sarah's favorite cousin. Cute girls!

Crouching Tiger, Happy Bradlee

Enough said.

Boise Zoo

So before I figure out my new camera and put up the most recent pics (and videos!), I'm going to catch up. This is us at the Boise Zoo. We had a great time, well, at least some of us did!
