Vacation to Florida (May 16-23, 2009)

We took a trip with Grandma Toni and Grandpa Scott down to Florida to see Mickey and get on some rides. We went to Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, DisneyQuest, Epcot, and Sea World on consecutive days. Even though it rained every day, we had a lot of fun and made some good memories.

Annual Whipperman-Featherstone Christmas Dinner (December 28, 2008)

Ever since before Cody was born, the Featherstone's have always been close family friends with the Whippermans. In our youth, we went on countless Lake Powell and other trips together and built friendships that will last into eternity. We still get together once every year at Christmas to catch up with our good friends.
