Adding One to the Family

Ok, the story is that Sherry met Colton Trevor Lacy on March 29, 2009. Colton checked Sherry out at church by going up front during Testimony meeting to give his testimony so he could see Sherry at a better view. It must have been love at first sight. They got engaged on May 20, 2009 and then made a trip to California so I could meet him. These are pictures of the family with the new soon-to-be son-in-law Colton. Welcome Colton!!!

This is my favorite of Christina, 23 years

This was a fun picture to take, lots of laughing to get us all on the slide at the same time.

Trip on Douro River

Christina and I took a river cruise on the Douro River in Portugal this summer.

Looking out over the city of Lisbon

Fresh flowers sold on the street

Cute little side street

Christina and Margie about got stuck in the subway door. They weren't quick enough. We loved riding the public transportation system there. We rode the buses, subways, taxis, and veniculars. What a beautiful city.

Everyone sitting down to dinner in Lisbon. We went to dinner here on our first night and tried all these different dishes. Decided to come back our last night and all ordered the same dish to eat and boy was it yummy.

Fun little character in Estoril, Portugal by the beach.

Catacombs at the University in Coimbra, Portugal on the way to Porto.

Arrived on the boat in Porto, Portugal. The Douro River in the back of us.

Karlene, Christina and Ellen in a night shot of the bridge in Porto.

On our balcony on the boat going through a lock on the river. We couldn't be on top because of low bridge.

Looking down into the town of Lamego.

Then we walked down all these steps to get to the bottom

Playing cards and farkle out on the deck.

Duoro River Cruise through Portugal, 6/29-7/14

Christina and I left for Lisbon, Portugal on June 29th and arrived on June 30th in the evening. We had an 8 hour lay-over in Edmonton and a 6 hour lay-over in London. Lisbon was a very beautiful city and lots of fun. We had fun riding the subway and finding our way around the city on public transportation. I love being in Europe and seeing the architecture of the old buildings that the US doesn't have. The beautiful Cathedrals, stained glass and delicious food was out of sight.
