Spain Trip 2013

 Kile, Kiley, and I went to Spain in May.  My brother, Kevin and his wife, Camille went with us also.  Kevin had served his mission in Spain and when his mission was over, I went to Spain with Kevin and some of my family members in 2005.

Kiley was fascinated with Spain and really wanted to go.  We told her, if she learned how to speak Spanish, we would go to Spain when she graduated from high school.  Well, 8 years later, it was time to go back to Spain.  Here are some pictures from our trip.

The view from our hotel room in Castelldefels, located about 20 minutes outside Barcelona.  We rode the train in to Barcelona each day and then came back each night to Castelldefels.

This is the City Bus Tour in Barcelona.  We purchased a 2 day pass that allowed us to ride the bus all over the city to see various landmarks.  We had headphones so we could hear all the cool facts about the different sights we visited.  We got on and off the bus at different spots we wanted to explore and then got back on the bus to head to our next location.  This is the best and cheapest way to see all the landmarks in the city.

These bikes were everywhere.  They can be rented for a year at a time, and are used by many people to get around the city




These "Human Statues"  were on the Rhambla and when people gave them money, they would pose for a picture.

More pictures of Barcelona coming soon......

Book Character Dress Up

Destrie got to dress up as a "book character" for school.  We choose to do Roderick from Diary of a Wimpy Kid!  Kile made the shirt with duct tape...so clever. I think it turned out pretty good!

We LOVE these books and the movies!

At the beginning of 2012, I told the family that whoever read the Book of Mormon that year, would get to go to iFLY in Ogden.

Madee actually finished in 2013.... about 5 minutes before it was time to "FLY"

I also finished reading, but I think I will "FLY'" at a different date.  ( I need to build up courage!)

Madee had a friend along....

(I was an idiot and didn't turn off the flash.)
