Family Reunion in Steamboat

We were all excited to get together in Steamboat for our first family reunion in two years. Steven was finally able to meet his little nephew Jack and get reaquainted with his sisters. Grandma and Grandpa Preece also joined us for a few adventures...probably more than they bargained for. It was a week filled with fun and laughter, hiking, biking, and swimming.

We meet again...and the adventures continue!

As soon as we arrived in the Philippines Steven started to get a little trunky and asked his mission president if he could be released early to travel with us. Kayle and I were both so excited to see him again. We had so much fun touring the country together and listening to Steven communicate and interact with the people. We were very lucky to have him along considering we couldn't understand anything anyone was saying. Our Tagalog isn't the best. I tried but everyone just looked at me as if I had just landed on the planet. After spending time in the Philippines it was easy to understand why Steven loved the country and it's people. It was a wonderful experience for him.

Our Trip to the Philippines...

After two long years we headed to the Philippines. We had a week to explore before we were scheduled to pick up Steven from his mission. During that time we were able to go the fabulous El Nido resort in Palawan, visit Corregidor Island, and ride horses to the top of a real volcano.
