FCC Conference

After spending a week at the RPI conference, then a week at Ike and Meg's, we traveled with the Vernon's to the FCC conference!
 (Just as a forewarning, there are quite a few pictures that are horribly over-exposed, under-exposed, or blurry. This is because I am learning how to adjust exposure on my camera, and decided to not take the time to photo edit them before posting.)

Anniversary

The Morton's took a trip a couple months ago to Wisconsin with Grandma R. and Uncle David to celebrate our Aunt and Uncle's 50th Wedding Anniversary!


We ate at a wonderful Mexican restaurant for dinner...it was the best Mexican we have had in a while!

 

We had fun racing in the pool at our hotel

Next morning, we ate breakfast with Great-Uncle Jon
