Our Trip!

We had such a great time on our vacation! We put almost 4000 miles on the truck and spend way to much money in gas!! The kids did so great in the car, no melt downs that couldn't be fixed in 5 minutes or so! Our longest leg was 16 hours, and the other ranged from 10-12 hours long. St. George is always a great time. We swam in Grandpas pool, enjoyed his and Janey's company, took Oma and Papa to Zion, and had dinner with the Tuellers. Jodi is a long time friend and she has three precious kids! Then off to Salt Lake, we visited my Grandpa and I met my new cousin, baby Dom. Black Diamond, Wa is beautiful! We stayed in a small cabin on a small lake. We were happy to have out boat in tow and this point (I wasn't to excited about it prior!). The mornings were spent seeing Seattle. We got to visit a good friend of mine, Liz and her husband. We went to Pikes market one day and got some great seafood! 2:00-7:00 were water ski hours, so we were usually out on the lake by then, we had a great time with Dustin and Annie. I tried my hand at wake boarding and actually liked it! The evenings were spend at the family reunion. I met lots of people I had heard about and it was good to put names and faces together. Everybody was super nice and we had a great time, and ate some yummy food! The kids loved when we went to Kim and Dave's, cuz there back yard was the lake. They played in the water the whole time! Bear Lake as most of you know holds a special place in my heart. We spent a week there, and I love it so much. So many memories and we love making new memories. Kevin and Marsha let us all stay at their cabin, I say all cuz there was a lot of us! Tina came with her family, Tracy, Dale and Gabe, Ton, my dad, my aunts and uncles and cousins! The kids had a great time with each other, when they weren't fighting of course! We ate a lot, boated, beached and had such a great time! We also skied on some of the best water we have ever skied on before, it was so much fun! The kids are now on detox from sugar, sun and fun... they are not quite sure what to do with themselves, and neither am I to be honest! Overall, it was a wonderful 3 weeks! Be prepared for lots of pictures!

St. George Trip

We took a fun trip to St. George last week. We stopped in Green River for two days, Devin did a canyoneering trip in San Rafael Swells while the kids and I stayed in a hotel where we swam, ate and slept. We then drove to St. George. The first night we stayed at my dad's cabin where it is MUCH cooler just 20 minutes out if St. George! Kaya and Kasen rode on the four wheelers with Dad and Grandpa, Kaya loved it but Kasen wasn't too sure about it. Dev worked up at a facility in Zion during the week, while we hung out at Grandpa's house and swam a lot! I was able to visit my high school friend Jodi and her three kids. Tina and Nana Marsh drove down from Salt Lake with Kamree, Kade, Ashton and Averee, the kids had a blast together and I enjoyed my time with Tina and Marsha. That weekend Devin's buddies from college came down and they did a 12 hours canyoneering trip in Zion, it had 20+ repels and lots of cold water. We walked up the narrows to meet them at then end. Kaya and Kasen thought it was pretty cool to see dad all geared up, they were super excited to see him come down the river. We also took the kids up to the Emerald Pools in Zion, it is a 2.6 mile hike and they both pretty much hiked it themselves, I was quite impressed with their little legs! All in All we had a great time, I love spending time with my dad, and the kids just LOVE their Grandpa!! We drove for 12 hours only stopping once for dinner on the way home. The kids did so great, I was so proud of them. They are troopers!!
