Summer Vacation 1984
As far as I can remember this is the most kids we ever had go on a family vacation together (we are missing Timmy and Mark - but 8 of us kids were on this trip). My parents took us on a church history tour this summer. We all piled in the van and headed north from Missouri. We went to the Johnson Farm in Ohio, the Kirkland Temple (that's where I met Peter Vidmar and Steve Young), then up to New York to the Sacred Grove, Hill Cumorah and we even went up to Canada and Niagara Falls (not part of the church history but fun). I was 12 years old and this is one of my most memorable family vacations. Here are some sweet shots from the trip.

Here I am at the Sacred Grove. This was incredible, my parents had each of us go off on our own and pray and I will never forget the peace I felt or what a testimony builder this was for me. I found a leaf on the ground and pressed it and it was in my scriptures for years.
This picture was just too classic to pass up. No-one has combed hair and we all look so dirty. Check out Danny's baseball shoes and the crazy shorty shorts that he and I are wearing with the matching triple stripe.
Apparently as long as I changed my shirt I was good to go. This is Jeannie and I.
Not a great picture by any means, but I have to document family badminton. We played this game so much when I was a kid and my dad rocks at it. He could beam us so hard and we could never beat him. 2 years ago we tried to take him on as adults and still couldn't beat him.
