Camping

We were finally able to go camping!! We had such a great time with my sister Kim and her two kids. We ended up camping at Lower Meadows up Weber Canyon. The kids had fun playing in the river, finding walking sticks with Dan, having a scavenger hunt, playing with their squirel friend "lightining" (named by Peyton of course), running around getting dirty and telling scary stories by the camp fire. Bailey was great, she loved crawling around and being really dirty. Peyton was so excited to go, he could hardly make it through the week! Just before we left he said to me "Mom, have you even ever been camping??" I think he just wanted to make sure I actually knew what I was doing. Silly kid!

Tent...

We got a new tent. We are so excited about it and have already planned 2 camping trips! We set it up in our back yard, just to make sure we would know what we were doing. The kids LOVED it and are so excited to go camping. Now all we need is for Bailey to start walking and we'll be good to go!!!

Independence Day...

We had a great time on the July 4th this year. We started the day with breakfast at IHOP with Dan's brothers family since the kids slept in too late to make it to the parade. After that we headed to Park City for a quick stop at the Nike outlet. After the Nike store it was back home for naps and a short break from driving. Around 5:00 we headed to Farmington for a BBQ with some of Dan's family. After eating I headed off to work :( Dan and the kids had a great time playing with cousins, doing a little home run derby, and watching fireworks.


The next night we did some of our own fireworks with my sister Kim and her family.
