Wow! What a crazy, busy summer! Life just seems to get more hectic the older my children get! I love it!
We had an amazing time at Lake Powell!
Highlights included:
This amazing view from the back of the house boat (can you imagine waking up to it every day?):
Roberto’s first jet ski ride:
Konsti and Sage’s first time up on the wake board:
The kids having a blast on the tubes:
Kade’s wake boarding skills:
Discovering new friendships (and crushes):
Being together as family:
And enjoying amazing friends:
We had a very tearful goodbye with Konsti over a week ago. Luckily we will see him in Germany in three weeks!
We are certainly enjoying Roberto. He’s a very sincere, helpful young man with a cute personality. He also loves to play jokes–he got Steve on a very funny one! And his English is improving each day!
He loves to hike, bike, ride four-wheelers and do anything in the great outdoors. We took this hike above Sundance to Stewart Falls today:
Two weeks from today we will take Roberto back to Switzerland and enjoy his beautiful country for a week. We can hardly wait!
I’ll write again soon, promise.
Happy 4th of July!
Love, Lisa













Hey, Lisa. I know Alpine has a lot of members of the Church. You probably have even have a stake or two…or three. We have an elder serving in our ward from Alpine. When he told me that he was from Alpine the first thing I thought was, “That’s where Lisa Bearnson lives.” LOL
I love that you’re able to host exchange students. That’s such a neat experience for both parties.
Good to hear from you….you are a VERY busy girl:) Enjoy!
WOW you guys are having an awesome summer, that is so great – love the pictures – the scenery is beautiful and you are all so happy to be together — have a great summer, always look forward to your posts and pictures —
