This summer we have decided to get out and see Utah a bit more. We went up to Moon Lake which is in Ashley National Forrest. You can guess who picked this spot. Ashley got to choose the first choice. It was a great little camp area by a great lake. We borrowed Kyle's canoe and had a great time. I was even able to get in it. Poor Eric got soaked helping me get in and out.
Last week Matt got to choose and we went to Kent's Lake by Beaver. Matt picked Beaver for thier icecream. They have a great creamery there. Eric picked the campground becuase all Matt cared about was the icecream. Eric bought a inflatable boat and kayake. They decided the boat was much easier to use and they didn't get as wet.
Our neice, Crystal just got married so we went to Rigby, Idaho yesterday to celebrate with her. They had a open house all day. It was nice, she got to spend more time visiting with everyone. They also had a ton of great food that I got to eat for hours. I went off my diet for a day. We also got to spend time with all of Eric's family. The kids were in paradise, the nieces and nephews found grasshoppers, a lot of them. They started bringing them up on the deck and putting them on the decorated table out there to show Eric and I. It was fun to see them get in groups and run around.
Matt is getting up and running with the Woods cross crooscountry team at 7am, which means I get to get up and take him. He is also turning 15 this week, which means he can get his learners permit. I can't believe I already have a kid who will be driving.
Jessica is taking summer band at ther school. She is devistated that the teacher is on vacation and she gets four days off---NOT. Jessica and Matt went and helped our a family this year for Youth Conference. They had a lot of fun. Jessica got to walk a lama.
Ashley had a rough month in June. She got very sick-- the flu we think. She was down for 2 weeks. Then the day she started feeling better she fell off a step stool and hurt her knee. Luckily we had crutches she could use. She used them for about a week. Just when I thought she was getting better she would reinjure it. Falling down the stirs twice didn't help.
Michael went camping with Eric and Matt to Crystal Hot Springs in May. He had a lot of fun, but didn't sleep weel. There was a train track right next to their camp site. They had about 6 trains come through and every time they would blow their horns, to make sure noone was on the track.
But Michael must not have been put off too much because that is the place he wants to pick for one of our family camp outs.
We also bought a 33 year old RV. You wlk in and it is a time warp back to the 70's. A lot of orange, Ashley isn't complaining. She loves almost anything orange. But the brown orange carpet has got to go, she doesn't even like it. I can't find my camera, so no pictures of it yet. It has been in the shop for almost two weeks, but it isn't passing safety inspection yet. Hopefully, next week.
