Call me storm trooper

I am under the impression that he likes Storm Troopers.

Benson Reunion '16

This years reunion was at Bear Lake over the 24th weekend.
Highlights include:  Razor rides, beach, tennis tournament, a ton of food, games, girls craft, Ice caves, cousins, testimony meeting and lots and lots of new memories.

Benson Family

Family pictures on the beach- thumbs up.  Parkers "mood"- thumbs down.  We could not get the kid to smile.  His feet were dirty and the sun was in his eyes.  A perfect storm for hating pictures.

And of course there is Ella and Naomi

Sassy

Hip Hop!

Tues and Wed

We had some goals this summer.  Some went well, some were harder.  On Tuesdays we did a craft and on Wed we did a science experiment.  We got a lot of crafts done and.....well.... a few science experiments.

School clothes shopping spree

One good thing about Back to School- shopping!

Before and After

When Ella decides she wants to do something, she does it.  At the beginning of summer she decided she wanted to get her "needle".  She spent all summer stretching (which is hard for her because she has NEVER had to stretch to be flexible) and worked on this so hard.  Everytime I turned around she was trying and she really thought her back was not getting more flexible.  Until she saw the before and after.  Good job!
