Our last day began as all other days of this trip, late. Josh and Rusty didn’t get home till 2am and the rest of us rolled in around 12:45 and didn’t go to bed till 1:30. No one moved a muscle until about 9:45am. We packed up our bags and checked out of the hotel. …
Halle here: On Sunday we went and saw Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. It was a super cool show, and the multiple parts made the excitement last all day. The special effects were so cool, and it was just like being back at Hogwarts. We watched part 1, which ended with dementors falling from…
We had a busy, busy week in Utah! Where to even begin? Blake and Cohen had a sleepover our very first night there. Blake has been waiting all summer for this! Dropped Halle and Grace off at EFY. They had such a fun, special week. All Blake’s dreams are coming true. Finally someone who will build with…
Blog post courtesy of Halle: We started our day by dropping Mave and Gwen off at school, and then the four of us went on the Undervelten tour. It was a tour of an underground bunker where people would go during air raids. Our tour guide was awesome, and we learned so many cool facts…

Not a bad day to be us. Not bad at all. Then we took a train to the East Side Gallery. I’ve been looking forward to this, and it didn’t disappoint. So…
After our flight we met Carlie and Mave at the train station. It was so good to munch on her cute cheeks again. We bought the best strawberries I’ve ever tasted from Karl’s—a tiny strawberry stand in the middle of the Gesund-Brunnen train station. It was so fun to see Carlie’s apartment. She’s living the…
We slept in a bit the next morning and then went to brunch at Peck 47. It was so fun! Service was SLOW but we weren’t in a hurry. We all chose different flavors of fresh squeezed juice and Carlie, Nat and I got all 3 kinds of savory waffles with poached eggs on top. …
