A Family Visit

So I figured it was about time for an update. Sorry it took so long. This has been one very busy, crazy summer. Here's a rundown of what we've done so far.

1) We've moved out of Aggie Village. Hooray!

2) Cele has participated in two out of four camps she has scheduled for this summer. Both of her first two were through her school and were focused on science and engineering. In the first she got to build her own trebuchet and in the second she got to go on several field trips, including where her grandpa (used to) work in the Space Dynamics Lab, all focused on exposing the kids to the world of engineering. She had a blast at both.

3) We had a fun visitor for a week. Cele's favorite cousin came to visit from Spokane. What a blast the girls had together. We loved having her visit. Cele sure didn't want her cousin to go home at the end of the week! The pictures below are from her visit.

Cele waiting, not so patiently, for her cousin to appear at the airport

Celestra and Brianne together for the first time since Bri's High School graduation.
Nah they don't like each other now do they?
Hanging out with uncle Jack/dad in the front room

Hmm where to put you.... I think you will find your home in...
Ravenclaw!

And just where shall I put you? Why I think
your true friends shall be found in....
Slytherin

You might think they're excited about the last Harry Potter huh

As Part of Brianne's visit, we gave her a little tour of USU since her mom and I are both alumni (though I'm still going).
Having fun with the sculpture outside the Natural Resources building

The fountains behind the TSC (Taggart Student Center)

The view at the top of Old Main Hill

Old main's foundation sure looks like a castle

The cool Asian statue on campus

The Business building - tallest building on the campus

Me thinks Cele is tired

The new library

The Performance building - the newest building on campus
(fun fact: Cele and I have both gotten to perform here. It's AMAZING)

I love the angles of your pictures of the buildings on campus. They look like they belong in Magazines or on USU's website. Awesome job sis!
