Summer run down

Hi family! We have been having a very busy summer but it's been great! The kids finished preschool in mid-June so we have spent most of our time at the park, in the backyard, riding bikes, attending swim lessons, going to gymnastics class and hanging out with Grandpa Lanny and Grandma Lynn (or "chocolate grandma" as the kids call her). They came for to Reno for 6 weeks and we had the best time! We also had a great time with Isaac visiting us. With all the family here, there were plenty of hands around to help out which is always nice. It seems like the summer has been flying by. Between trips to San Francisco and Lake Tahoe, the kids had a wonderful time on our "adventures." Seth and Isaac made a couple of trips together for both work and pleasure to Seattle to visit Grandpa Armin, to Houston and San Francisco. Isaac has been checking out as many skate parks as he can. A couple of weeks ago we had the Collier Family Reunion in South Tahoe. It was so great seeing a lot of family that the kids haven't seen in over a year. Here are an assortment of pictures from the past 2 months.
