Here are some random pictures of Amelia this month. We got out the old blocks that our kids played with over 40 years ago, and she likes building and knocking them down!!
Puzzle - July 27th, 2026
We started a new 2000 piece puzzle 5 days ago. We worked on it for a few hours a day. It was a fun one to do. We like the larger puzzles with lots of things to find, and lots of colors.
Doug is 73 Years Old - July 23rd, 2026
Doug is 73 today! We went to see the Minions movie and we both fell asleep! We are getting old... We ate lunch at ZAO. We had family over for cake and presents. All the kids called him for his birthday.
Lagoon Amusement Park - July 20th, 2026
We decided to go to Lagoon while we were camping up this way. We (and Scott's family) reserved the campground, and stayed 2 nights. It is a nice campground, and really nice to be able to go back and forth during the day. It was a record heat wave while we were there. It was 106 degrees at the campground, and it was muggy. We started the day going out to breakfast in Layton. Gwyneth ordered the short stack, and it was the biggest 2 pancakes I had ever seen. They didn't even fit on the plate. We went into Lagoon at 10:00 when it opened. They all went on the old wooden roller coaster. I didn't want to. Then Doug went on the Screamer, and it made him so sick. It kind of ruined the whole day. He couldn't go on any rides for a few hours. After lunch, we went on the Terror ride , and Dracula's castle. We tried walking through Pioneer Village, but it was too hot. We felt sick, so we went back to trailer to cool down for awhile. When it cooled down to 90, we went back and went on new ride Primordial. It was fine until the last when it dropped us down, and we both got sick...We went back to RV for an hour and then we were determined to go back. We spent the last hour at Pioneer Village. I ordered a huge Funnel cake. Between the 2 of us, we could only eat half of it. We went through all the old pioneer shops and saw a lot of cool stuff. My favorite was probably the shop with all the old musical instruments. I don't know if we will ever go back to Lagoon, because it is too expensive for only going on 3 rides. But if we do, we will NEVER go in the summer againn!
Payson Lakes - July 16-19th, 2026
We drove 4 hours to Payson Lakes. We are in kind of a tight spot for our fifth wheel to fit. Scott, Luann and Ellie came and are in the spot across from us. We went on a hike to the Grotto waterfall. It was an easy hike and was nice and cool with the mist from the waterfall. Scott and Ellie climbed up around to the top of the waterfall.
We fished for a few hours but only caught 1 fish. Then we went for a 1.3 mile hike around the lake. We played games, and had a fire and had root beer floats. The next morning we fished by the dam and caught 3 fish. Doug also caught a Crawdad!! Not very good fishing this trip. It rained most of the day. We had Hobo dinner and S'mores.
Amelia - July 15th, 2026
I got out my Bosu ball to balance on, and Amelia had so much fun jumping on it. I think it will be in our Livingroom from now on, so she can play on it!
Amelia - July 13th, 2026
Amelia likes playing with random things. Today she loved looking through, and listening grandpa talk through a cardboard tube we found. She thought it was so fun seeing our eyes through it.
Duck Creek - July 5-7th, 2026
We came to Duck Creek. It is only in the 80's, so it feels a lot cooler than home. There is hardly anyone in the campground. Nice and quiet. We fished at the pond and only caught 3. We ordered pizza from Hot Mamma's. The next day we fished for 5 hours at Aspen Mirror Lake. Then we relaxed and watched TV in the trailer. The next morning we fished at the pond for 2 hours and caught 24 fish. It is not as much fun camping without the kids and grandkids. We walked all around the new campground to look at the sites. When we got home it was 107 degrees!!
