So Long Summer...

Although this summer opened and closed with the big move.

We still were able to fit in some fun in between.

One of our favorite and longstanding family traditions is to go to the Mormon Miracle Pageant in Manti. It doesn't seem like summer until we go to the pageant. It is such a wonderful time, the spirit is always so strong, and although the pageant is the same every year, there always seems to be something new and more special about it every year.

Rachel, Mason, Kenya, Kaiya, Tiko, and Sarah

Me and my boys

We go down early enough to enjoy people watching, visiting,
and the excitment building up to when the pageant starts.

Usually I am annoyed by more then one protestor. This year this guy took the cake. He didn't appreciate the statement that Jesus didn't carry his cross with a pillow.

Nothing is more beautiful then being able to see the temple

all lit up after the pageant is over.

We were able to see Kenya skate several times.
Over the summer she has won 3 gold medals and a silver.

One of the final summer traditions is "The Jensen Family Reunion" This year our family was in charge, so we did our best to transform the park into a Tropical Paradise.We had a wonderful time, all went well and we enjoyed one anothers company.
It was a great party to wind down the summer.

Mason ... after 13 years finally found something he would do for the talent show.

Everyone had a great time and got into the fun.

The Aillia family was amazing and we were so lucky to have enjoyed their talents.

Daisy even got into the action and Tiko was sporting the Hawaiian Ronald McDonald look.

So ends another fun filled summer

and to think only 179 more days until the first day of Spring.
