USA Trip Part 1

I can hardly believe that we've been in the U.S for 4 days already! It's been a fun time.

I only have pictures of the past day or so because I got my camera yesterday! Better than nothing I guess!

We were so happy that Aunt Sherri and cousin Randi Leigh came over for the night! We have not seen them for a very long time, and it was good to catch up.

                                                 Grams made us a delicious dinner!
L-R: Myles, Aunt Sherri, Grandpa, Grams, Randi Leigh
After dinner we went to Uncle Wade and Aunt Joscelyn's for a game night. We started out with "Buzzwords", and our team won because Uncle Wade and Aunt Joscelyn are such good guessers! 
Playing "Buzzwords"
Knightley (Wade and Joscelyn's son) wanted to show me all of his books!

Then we moved on to a new game that we just got called "Splendor". I had never played this before, but after the first few turns I was hooked. It is so much fun!!!

Stay tuned for more!

Promise! Psalm 103:11For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

A hike in the Carpathians- Europe Trip Part VII

Image
I love hiking. But this hike was gnar. It was very difficult, steep, gasp-inducing, and muscle burning.  This might be my favorite shot of the whole trip.   Resting at the top with my hiking partner Samara!  The jumping shots!  I'm not sure about all that.   Food is always good on top of a mountain.   Kevin entertained us with a backflip.  On the way home, we visited a gorgeous waterfall. Here are some of the beautiful Booher ladies! Oh and by the way, even though the hike was extremely difficult, it was well worth the pain! I'm almost caught up on my blogging. Yay!  Emily Jo  Psalm 91:6,7 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.  A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

In This Is Love

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:  Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:  But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, an was made in the likeness of men:  And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.  Philippians 2:5-8 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.  Surely he hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.  Isaiah 53:3-5 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live throu

Tunari or Bust!

Image
                                    I have always wanted to hike to the top of this mountain.                                           The twin peaks on the right are called Mount Tunari.    Mount Tunari is 16,480 feet high. This mountain isn't even on the list of the top twenty tallest mountains of Bolivia! On Wednesday morning we loaded up our wonderful, almost 4X4 truffi (ha, ha), with 12 people, a sack lunch, and a guitar. We went up the same road that you see in  A Drive Through the Andes , but this time we turned off and took a very treacherous and difficult road. The Car The Road                                                             The Group (L-R: Jimmy, Michelle, Clara, Gina, Joe, Myles, Clancy, Emily, Ruth, Danyelle, Isabelle. Daddy took the picture)                                      We had to stop here or we might have gone off the edge. After parking, we started walking up the road. Thankfully, we were very close to th
