To the Middle of the Earth

Aaron took an opportunity to return to Ecuador, where he served his mission. He went with some mission buddies and old roommates. He was gone for almost two weeks and overlapped with my family reunion, so we didn't see each other for over two weeks. It seemed like a really long time. But he had a great trip. For some reason he is opposed to writing his own blog about the trip...so here are a few of my favorite pictures from his trip.

Below is Aaron with his friends Dave, Dave, and Ryan. Dave Smailes was his trainer and he met Dave Castle in the MTC. Later all four of them were roommates at BYU. They are hilarious and we loving hanging out with them when they come into town. They all still keep in touch even though they all live in different cities now.

Here is Aaron straddling the equator with one foot in the northern hemesphere and one in the southern hemisphere.

Here is Aaron on his whale watching trip. He threw up 16 times. He compared it to being forced to ride on Space Mountain for four hours straight without a break. So for those of you who questioned if he really would be sick if he rode all those rides he skips at Disneyland...just remember the face he is making in this picture and don't bother trying to persuade him to ride.
